Croft Head, Loch Fell, Wind Fell, Hopetoun Craig, Ettrick Pen, Bodesbeck Law, White Shank, Smidhope Hill and Capel Fell from Selcoth | hummusg | 19/02/2024 |
Quite a long out and back walk to here and Capel Fell from Moffat hostel. Dense cloud and intermittent heavy drizzle but pleasantly mild for the time of year though. | Alex C | 15/02/2024 |

From West Knowe on route to Capel Fell. 6th in clockwise circuit of the Ettrick Hills. Steep grassy descent NNW to the Southern Upland Way track. Did a bag drop at the wooden bench at the start of the climb up Croft Head which made for quick easy progress up an excellent path to the summit gate!! 
Quick decent back down track for a wee rest on the bench and ruck sac back on for the ascent back up to Capel Fell. | Jossker | 16/10/2023 |

From Selcoth Fishery (parking with permission) up a steep landrover track beside the Steinstane Burn to Croft Head summit. Then joined SUW path for zig zag descent down Cat Shoulder. Ascent of Capel Fell on ATV track following fence on south east shoulder. Descent on tussocky grass following fence down south west shoulder. Easy crossing of the burn at bottom of Bill Cleuch to join landrover track for walk back to Selcoth. | Fife Walking | 01/10/2023 |

Round of 4 from Fishery to N. 4/4. Steep up from S, should have gone up track to E. | davechaffey | 29/10/2022 |
I had a late afternoon / evening walk from Sailfoot taking in Croft Fell and Capel Fell. Very enjoyable walking and views. | meltdiceburg | 21/08/2022 |
Parked at end of public road near Potburn 
for the Ettrick Horseshoe. Counter clockwise taking in White Shank, Smidhope Hill and Capel Fell. I wasn't looking forward to the outlier of Croft Head, but the ascent up West Knowe, was worse, as there is decent zig zag path up Cat Shoulder. From it was easy over Loch Fell, Wind Fell then Hopetoun Craig and one final pull up Ettrick Pen. Which had the first proper summit feature of the whole day, a large cairn. 
Dropped down to the NW to pick up the forestry track, then past Over Phawhope bothy and back to the car 8hrs after setting off. | chillyman8 | 31/07/2022 |

Started from the turning circle at the end of the minor road leading to the head of the Ettrick valley and followed the SMC route taking in the summits of Ettrick Pen, Hopetoun Craig, Wind fell, Loch fell, West Knowe, Croft head, Capel fell, Smidhope hill and White shank. A tough and long walk taking seven and half hours for the Twelve and half mile with 4000ft of ascent. Route finding was generally easy following fencing but a brutal descent of West Knowe is needed to reach the valley floor. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 01/05/2022 |

Went from Selcoth Farm in Moffatdale. Followed track marked on OS 78, intermittent. Met a Shooting Party and was invited to change my route, which probably made the walk easier overall. Climbed up to the ridge and found a track for the descent via the next valley [Steinstane Burn] which joined/turned into the curving track marked on the map and I think this would be the easiest route of ascent. | IanHHill | 06/09/2021 |
Very steep ascent from path beneath Capel Fell. | johninthehills | 04/09/2021 |
Warm and sunny day for the walk up from Selcoth to nab a couple of geocaches. | Walker Dan | 27/08/2021 |
After Capel Fell through spectacular scenery along SUW, then returned to Potburn. | Lionel Bidwell | 26/08/2021 |
Susan Bidwell | 26/08/2021 | |
From Selcoth along the track by the Steinstane Burn to Croft Head, then down the excellent high level SUW zigzags over Cat Shoulder. A superb view of waterfalls on the Selcoth Burn and heather in flower as compensation for the subsequent merciless ascent of West Knowe, which now sports a tiny cairn made from small pices of broken fence post. Easy walking to Loch Fell and Wind Fell, revisiting the old fence post summit out of nostalgia and the new summit 50 yards across the bog out of penance for walking past it unawares in 2019. Over the shoulder of Capel Fell and a tricky descending traverse by the fence above Bill Cleugh to Broken Back, descending the ridge to meet the Selcoth Burn track to Selcoth. | Nick Down1 | 22/08/2021 |

From turning circle at road before Potburn, walking on track past Potburn to Over Phawhope, then along tracks to E, becoming intermittent path, to summit of Ettrick Pen, continuing over summits Hopetoun Craig, Wind Fell, Loch Fell, West Knowe, then steep pathless descent to sheepfold on col to NW, climb up good zig-zag path to Croft Head, return to sheepfold, NE along Southern Upland Way to the col at Ettrick Head, then NW along fence line to Capel Fell, continuing by fence and wall to Smidhope Hill and White Shank, descending through rough grassland around edge of forestry to Potburn and back to turning circle | kdbennett | 15/07/2021 |

From end of public road at Potburn (NT 1893 0928). Took the track running N of Potburn toward Fauldside Hill, bypassing it for White Shank, then Smidhope Hill -> Capel Fell -> Sailfoot Law -> Broken Back. From there headed S steeply down across Selcoth Burn and very steeply up alongside Nether Coomb Sike. On to West Knowe -> Loch Fell. | jonglew | 09/04/2021 |
10 mile day. Parked 10702 04264 by Bellshaw Pool, on SUW route, and followed high SUW alternate route to summit. Descended Selcoth Burn path to valley, and walked back to car on farm tracks to south of Moffat Water - avoiding walking on the road. | Toby-and-Dion | 27/03/2021 |

The zig zag path up Cat Shoulder, especially constructed for the SUW, makes for an easy ascent. Continued to Capel Fell, Smidhope Hill and White Shank.

600th Marilyn. Deep joy. Third Marilyn on round of four. From Scaw'd Fell, descent was easy, joined the forestry track. Forestry on south east side of Gateshaw Rig has been cleared, and there is a good line up the left hand side of the remaining trees. Above the tree line is steep, thick heather, really horrible, to the ridge line. Then easy to Croft Head. | Owen B | 14/04/2017 |

First of only Two hills today on an alternative Southern upland way route. This one is now a waymarked alternative route via Gateshaw rig from the Southern Upland way crossing Cornal Burn. Steep ascent but glorious views from the top and I heard the screeching of Peregrine falcons in the gorge of the hill to the North. Descended via the new zigzags on cat shoulder and back onto the standard Southern upland way route. I wish I had followed my own route, ascending Wind fell as felt that the standard SUW route was a bit bland from here onwards to St. Mary's Loch. | Dazingdale | 13/05/2015 |

The best part of the day and a hidden (from motorists) gem with a fine gorge and ridge to the summit (steep but newly engineered zigzags). Had to retrace to Etterick Head but this was no hardship in some of the best scenery in the S Uplands. Sunny, hazy and warm. | pwheeler | 21/09/2014 |

With Ettrick Pen on very cold day. Roads just passable. Beautifully clear and crisp weather. DC and DB | Martin66 | 01/12/2012 |
During a long weekend in Moffat, parked near the bridge to the fishfarm on the A708 at Shortwoodend. With Martin66 & DavyB, followed the tracks until just short of Selcoth Burn & turned up the track following N side of the burn uphill. This peters out underneath the ominously named Broken Back. Given the state of the frozen, insubstantial ground, that seemed a distinct possibility. Decided therefore on an ascent directly N up the more secure slopes of Croft Head: brutal but quickish. Descended to the col & then straight up to West Knowe & on to Loch Fell, continuing to Wind Fell, over Hopetoun Craig & the brilliant viewpoint of Ettrick Pen. Daylight fading, a rapid descent down to the SUW & along to Ettrick Head followed. Martin66 eyed up Capel Fell, but virtually dark, we didn't fancy Broken Back much & edged our way along the path on the S side of Selcoth Burn before crossing to join the outward track. These hills are probably better done from the Ettrick road end. | NotReallyABagger | 01/12/2012 |
