"From the car park north of the Megget Stone at NT 14338 20081. Followed a path up from the Megget Stone to a gate in the deer fence at NT 14423 21439. Then followed deer fence north, with summit accessed by another gate in the deer fence. After return to main ridge, took the path up to the summit of Broad Law. On descent, veered SSE past Porridge Cairn and to the top of Wylies Hill. A steep descent by sheep-tracks brought us to the road, then following it west back to the cars. With AT and JT. 13.0km, with 600m of ascent." — marktrengove2 • Jun 24, 2023

"Parked at Hall Manor, by the entrance to a forest track at NT 21168 35233, where there is room for 1-2 cars. Took the road, then track, up Glenrath to Glenrathope, then the narrow twisting ridge south then east up to the 650m contour. Then traversed around to the bealach and up Middle Hill, continuing to Stob Law. Descent by its south-west ridge. With KM, NP and JK, partially. Sunshine, with a little high cloud later. Cold NW breeze." — marktrengove2 • Nov 13, 2021

"Solo. From the road-end in Ettrick Dale followed the track through the forest and then open ground to Bodesbeck Law. Easy ridge to Nowtrig Head, Mid Rig, Bell Craig, Andrewhinney Hill and Herman Law. Descent to road at Brockhoperig. A kind farmer gave me a lift shortly after I had set off to walk back up the road to the car. A beautiful summer day." — peter43 • Jun 22, 2021
