With Rod from car park near Cramalt up track then out to Dollar Law. Retraced steps then on to Cramalt Craig returning to road via Clockmore. Windy but we got away with it weather wise with only half an hour of rain.SS23/03/2023
A circuit in the clouds with fences for handrails and a fox at the end.langskill07/02/2023
From the reservoir car park. Up the road to Meggethead, then upon passing the last fence on the N side of the road followed this fence onto the open SE flank of Wylies Hill. From its summit a series of ATV/deer paths give good access to Broad Law. Down to the non-tops of Tods Knowe & Lamb Knowe, then doubled back to the col SE of Polmood Craig to get onto the FP up to Cramalt Craig. The nicest section of the walk was over to Dun Law, Fifescar Knowe & Dollar Law. Returned to Thief's Road, which helps with a quick walk to Notman Law. Then a fence line to Shielhope Head and Greenside Law, including its S Top. A contour round to Rig Head and finally Pykestone Brae. A steep grassy descent to the track below then a seemingly endless walk back along the road to the camper. 6hrs total.summitter05/02/2023

Parked at the first car park (when coming from Talla Reservoir) on the Megget Reservoir and walked back along the road to the Megget Stone, then up the fencline to Fan's Law. Where I met a new 6ft Deer fence, with a pedestrian gate (on the lines shown on OS explorer maps) decent path / sheep trail over to Talla Cleuch Head, through the new 6ft deer fence again to gain the actual summit. Then followed this back to Cairn Law and up to Broad Law itself (still the old 3ft stock fence along the shoulder). Some guys were working in the Radio Beacon, they had previously worked on the Lowther radar station aswell. Along the ridge with a decent drop and ascent to Cramalt Craig. Then southward to Clockmore, with a lot of heather bashing to decent back down to the car. Dry with occasional sun and high level cloud 05:05hrs all in.chillyman831/08/2022
Parked at the cattle grid by the Megget Stone. Talla Cleuch Head (the deer fence is well-gated so it doesn't matter which side of it you're on), back to Cairn Law, Broad Law, Hunt Law, back to Cramalt Craig and finally Clockmore. Steep descent to the road and a lovely walk back to the car in the evening sun.tsharp04/08/2022
Parking at Megget Reservoir. ATV starts at U-bend (NT195231) up to around back of barn, but fizzles out before it reaches the intake fence. Grass corridors can be linked up, but then the final heathery dome has to be tackled to Clockmore. Summit is bad tussocks and it is rough going to meet faint ATV track at about NT180237. ATV improves up to Cramalt Craig. Good ATV to Dun Law, Fifescar Knowe, Dollar Law, Notman Law, then deteriorates over Shielhope Head, rough going to Lair Knowe, Greenside Law, then fair ATV toward Black Rig, then RoW to Craigierig.Isbjorn04/06/2022
Wide roadside verge for parking approx 1km NE Meggethead Farm (NT 1775 2174). Up to Lamb Knowe and Tods Knowe first then round to here keeping as much high ground as possible. Picked up Clockmore on way down. Pleasant 9k round.jonglew29/03/2022

With John - parked at Megget Reservoir car park and decided to do the clockwise loop of Broad Law, Cramalt Craig and Dollar Law. Head back along the road to Megget Stone (unimpressed), and then followed the faint path up to Broad Law. Cold and windy up top, but clouds disappeared so got quite warm. Patches of icy snow but mostly good underfoot conditions. Headed straight over to Cramalt Craig from the radio tower, gave is a quick tap and moved on to Dollar Law. From there we headed across to ther track down to Cramalt and the back along the road to the car park. Total time 5 hours on the dot (well, 5h 33seconds).mproudfoot27/02/2022
