Games Hope Horseshoe from Talla

[McMole]

A fine sunny day but not too hot though I dripped my way up the initial climb to the trig point on Garelet Hill. There were three other cars parked when I started and another two when I returned, but I met nobody all day though I think I saw one figure on top of Erie Hill when I was on Molls Cleuch Dod.

The summit of Garelet Dod was unmarked with a tussock appearing to be the highest point thereabouts. As reported by Jaywizz there was no footbridge at the foot of Donald's Cleuch, but both that burn and Games Hope Burn were easily crossed. I followed the fence up Molls Cleuch Dod to where it crossed the wall and left my rucksack there while I collected the summit.
