I have added a plot of the Southern Upland Way to my Download page – the file is the standard .gpx format so it is useable in a wide range of GPS units and applications. I am usiing it in Memory Map and on my iPhone.

There were some problems plotting the route on my 50k OS map - at the following locations – the route was not clear on the map.

• Caldons Wood
• Sanquhar
• Wanlockhead
• Sweetshaw Brae
• Beatnock
• Galashiels
• Abbey St Bathans

If you use this route you will have to take care over those sections.

I plotted the route to skirt Glengaber Hill.

This is a walk I am planning to undertake in the summer of 2013. The plan at this time is to take fourteen days, carry lightweight camping gear and to stay in a mixture of campsites, wild camping and bed and breakfasts. Carrying food as required and resupplying along the route.
