Biked up from walkerburn visited both areas.robertphillips01/10/2023
Bus to Innerleithen and ascent from beyond the railway bridge over the Tweed by roads and rides finishing with the push up route for the downhillers. Visited the south top, Taniel Hill, the path between the tops was in good nick. Descended to the bikers carpark from there largely using the push up route for the bikers.fasgadh14/02/2023
Same route as jonglew. Nice and easy following the forest road. Then short section on bike trialAndrew Simmons22/06/2021
Forest roads (driveable) to NT 3477 3545 whence walked up a MTB track. Visited the other 474m spot height 480m south on good track ruined by bikers.jonglew30/11/2020
Both summits visited. Many mountain biker tracks.Adrian30/11/2020
To save on car parking charge I parked on minor road where cycle trails start NT336 358, used tracks and trails to summit.Anton17/09/2020
From Traquair. SUW then along wall to two tops of Plora Rig. Summit is old cairn not the spot height. Back to col then E to MTB track up to SUW. Over Hare Law and patchy track and at the end deep heather to Wanders Knowe. Back along SUW.chrisbien08/10/2017
SUW from Traquair then bike routes to the two tops. Very muddy in sections, especially around the northern top - small scrappy cairn thereColin Crawford22/09/2017

1st log for this hill! 1St hill of 8 on an alternative Southern upland way from Innerleithen to Galashiels. I took Princes street down and then followed signs for cycle trail 1,taking me across the River Tweed and after I passed the farm I headed up through Woodland trust woodland until joining a grit track where I turned right and just before Armour burn I took one of the downhill trails up,veering right on the flatter sections,eventually arriving at another grit road and followed the same plan until I arrived at the flat summit and the start of many bike trails. I followed the trail south to go over the alternative summit and where the bike trail terminated I continued eventually emerging on the Southern upland way.Dazingdale15/05/2015
