| A nice walk from Crook Cottage in the lovely Ettrick valley. Good parking just before the cottage. Through the double gate, and up to strange wooden gate contraptions (climb over) to the small area of felled forestry. SW below this, and then up alongside to reach a proper gate onto the hill. Many drainage ditches to cross below this, very easy though. Pogged up towards Mid Hill where an ATV track contours across to the final slopes. Short climb thereafter, and a fine view from the big cairn. | Gill | 27/05/2018 |

Then Bodesbeck Law - Nowtgrain Head - Mid Rig (DT) - Bell Craig - Andrewhinny Hill - Mid Rig - Trowgrain Middle (sadly, the unremarkable dome west of the fence seems to be slightly higher than the splendid cairn by the fence) - Herman Law - Sandtrae Knowe - Cossars Hill and back by the single track road. A glorious day with views across both Moffatdale and Ettrickdale throughout the ridge walk. | Nick Down1 | 17/06/2017 |

Brilliant day even with low visibility all day hard frost and frozen ground above about 550m. | mntainman | 23/01/2017 |
