With T. Been wanting to do Gathersnow for a while but did not want to walk round Coulter reservoir or up and over Culter again. Came across @pigguy 's report on doing it from other side. Many thanks to him for that. Followed his route on way up but took simpler option on way back and followed Holm's Burn until it it hit an ATV track and then the forestry track.
