Parked up at the layby by the bridge ( only -5
), over the bridge hang a left over the wee bridge and get up langhaugh hill - steeply
- Get over the wee bridge
- Langhaugh hill
On over black cleuch hill
- Black Cleuch summit !!
Shades were needed today
and onto Black law - it's the first mound with wee pile of stones.
Onto the 2nd mound with the join of fences
Head south here, get up and over the unmarked Conscleuch Head, down again and up to the pointy rock on Deer law
Now a bit more navigation comes into play, pathless , tussocky ground and a lot if heather bashing.
I was aiming to cross the water by the fenceline
- The point to cross and get up Black rig
Then get up more heather to black rig and the old rundown shed
, cross the track and get up to greenside law.
- Unmarked featureless summit
Headed north straight off the hill and down, aiming to the left of the copse.
- Nice view doon The glen and the way back
A path/ track is picked up, leading through the farm, onto the tarmac,
and the walk back
- Looking back up at greenside law
A good walk , tough , pathless , glad the ground was mainly frozen .
Another 2 Donalds and 3 Donald tops in my quest to complete a 2nd round.
Ascent = estimate
Cheers
