Approach notes

The easiest and best approach on first acquaintance is to contour the large bay from the north at low tide. Park at the Bettridge centre car park, walk to the south east corner of the park and follow the fence east alongside a small burn and down the side of the woods (as for Green slough). Then descend the grass slope into the north side of the bay. A quicker approach and at high tide is to locate a fisherman’s trail which drops down a steep grass slop to gain a narrow rock ledge which descends to platforms above and to the south of the cliff. This however is very hard to locate especially in summer when the grass is long. It is much easier to find as a way out. To find it on the approach head south in the field above the bay as for John heugh. Cross the fence and head out onto the headland just north of John heugh (you can clearly see John heugh to the south) skirting the wind bushes by staying close to the edge. The path is located opposite the small rocky island (May Rock) and starts down a vague grass ridge
