Excellent loop from Broughton Place up over Green Law, Broughton Heights and Brown Dodd. Decided to leave Penvala for another day and headed back over Hammer Head and Trahenna Hill in glorious conditions.SS13/05/2018
A superb circuit in snow and sunshine from Stobo, taking in Penvalla, Broughton Heights and Trahenna, and all the ups and downs in between. Easy peasy route finding, Southern Upland way, then up Penvalla first, and follow the fences and ATV tracks over the hills. The descent from Trahenna follows the fence (steep, no path), then a small path sneaks round the back of Louden Knowe to pick up an ATV track past a small plantation down to the Lake. Cute path crosses below the lake, then back to the road on a track.Gill09/02/2018
Almost no visibility. Up from Broughton Park, before Penvalla and Trahenna. Breezy and warm. Rounsfell19/12/2017

In poor conditions we (GN/DL) decided to cut a direct line from the path in the pass below Ladyurd Hill to this top. Tough ground to cross but it saved a lot of up and down which was preferable in view of the ongoing stormtrimarc208/06/2017
