| A big ambitious running bagging day with Darren on snow covered hills. quickly down form Broad Law to Great Knock over Brown Knowe then down and up to Hunt Law. Trying to sweep up any top over 600m and Birkside Law (500 m top)was just too far off route to add to an already big day with an uncertain outcome against darkness. | Chris Pearson | 12/04/2013 |
| Dropped down from Cramalt Craig over Sherraside rig and new road cutting across at bottom then up to top of Hunt Law. | derekblackburn | 19/03/2011 |
| In Moffat for a couple of days, day 1 started solo near the high point of the road between the Talla & Megget reservoirs near the Megget Stone. Straight up the slope NW out to Talla Cleuch Head & then following the boundary to Broad Law. Then NE until just short of Cramalt Craig & then NW following the boundary to Hunt Law. Retraced steps most of way back & turned NE then N over Dun Law & Fifescar Knowe to Dollar Law. Followed the boundary all the way back to Cramalt Craig before heading SE over Pykestone Knowe & Clockmore before dropping down the steep & heathery slope to the reservoir & then a wander back along the road. A warm, sunny day where I misjudged the amount of water I needed. | NotReallyABagger | 31/08/2010 |

| From Hearthstane, via Broad Law & Cramalt Crag. | agentmancuso | 21/02/2009 |
| After taking in Broad Law and Cramalt Craig came over this one on the way back to the car on the A701. Broad Law had been out of the clouds but this one was well and truly in it so no views. Lovely steep descent off it though. | garyhoney | 31/12/2008 |
