I walked this when it was quite a new route. The original Cambeltown to Machrihanish section followed the main road, which is often quite busy. So they were wanting to find a way to avoid this. I can only guess that the current new route is the result of this. There may be more road walking than bef...

A few from me found along my travels.

Near Gifford in East Lothian

Just over the border from Coldstream near Cornhill on Tweed

The Street, Cheviot Hills

Did the Drumlanrig Castle to Burnmouth circuit, following the River Nith, on a lovely sunny day. it's a superb riverside walk with great views to the Lowther Hills on the return leg of the route. I'm just writing this to let others know about some obstacles along the way. Storm Arwen brought down a ...

Great report, and some brilliant photos as well. :clap: I did the full "ridge of the awful hand" from Cornish Hill up onto Shalloch on Minnoch, and right along to Bennan via the Merrick around 2005 on one beautiful day in May...a superb outing and I've loved this part of Galloway ever sinc...

Superb adventure...and as for the aurora, wow. I've never even heard of a STEVE. (Thought it must have been the name of one of your party).

Congratulations on winning the report of the month, well deserved.

Nice one Derek.

Great report, this was the way I went many years ago, near the start of my hillwalking career...nearby Ben Ledi was my first "proper" hill.

Great looking walk. I love the hills in this area, it's where I started my hillwalking, following circuit of Dollar Law from the Manor Valley. Conscleuch Head was my first Hill walk in 2020 after the first lockdown, getting my missed Donald Tops. I've planned a short route to Greenside Law starting ...

Looks like a nice walk. Lovely snow scenery photos.

$matches[2] A usual parking place for the walk to White Top of Culreoch is at the high point on the Gatehouse of Fleet to Laurieston road. From here most folk will walk back along the road a little (south) and turn onto the track heading west. This gives access to the hill from the south, or if you...

Another good report along a great route. I did this clockwise, though missing Windy Standard, due to the windmill construction, a couple of years ago when doing my Donald round. A superb group of hills.

This caught me out too back in December. But as you say, it's possible to get past the fallen trees, some of it requiring climbing steep banks and fences.

Thanks gld73, I'll likely give a return visit a miss for the time being. Though as the Daer is less than an hours drive from home, it could be a nice short afternoon walk sometime in the summer. Looks like this hill catches a few people out. I've had a look at the trip reports, and see Fife Flyer an...

Turns out it was only 16 years ago I did this walk. :lol: I did in fact start at Birkhill, same as you, but continued along ridge to Bodesbeck Law. down to Potburn on the Ettrick side, then back up onto the ridge via Bught Hill, following this back to Birkhill. A long but enjoyable day out. :D 29-Wh...

Enjoyed reading your report, as it's one I climbed 19 years ago when walking the Southern Upland Way...or at least I THOUGHT I'd climbed it. :shock: It was when you said you'd to leave the path and go 100m to reach the true summit, I realised I hadn't done that, just sticking to the main path. In my...
