Crossed bridge then took track to left of buildings, which leads to ATV route up Langhaugh Hill. Heigh gained easily for a while but becomes a heather hack closer to Blackhouse Heights. 26 degrees at Langhaugh but just enough breeze higher up. On to White Cleuch.Wycombe Wanderer12/08/2022
Parked at the end of public road, for back of ten, headed straight up Dollar Law, south to Fifescar Knowe, Norman Law, then around to Greenside Law. On the way up Black Law, I decided to contour around the south slope, which was a mistake, to many peat hags. Conscleuch Head was uninteresting, Deer Law has a nice stone feature for the a summit. I returned back over Conscleuch Head then up Black Law then north to Black Cleuch Hill. Descended west to rejoin the valley and walk north back up the to road to the car. Sunny all day, 07:50hrs all in.chillyman809/07/2022

A late start at ca.11.10 am as I had done my weekly shop first. I parked up just south of Langhaugh in the Manor valley. I had a brief chat with two men who had just returned to their cars at the same location. Both had rifles on their shoulders. They asked whether I was planning to go into the forestry as felling had started - I said I was walking on Black Law and that if I went as far as Dollar Law I would come down to the road by the edge of the forest - cool they said. I headed off, crossing the Manor Water by a footbridge and follow some animal tracks up the hillside. I gained height quickly and was soon on Langhaugh Hill. The continuation to Black Cleugh Hill started well along a ATV track.langskill08/10/2020
