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 |

| A clear sunny day on the final day of a stay in Moffat. Left car with Martin66 near Birkhill & followed signposted walkers route through soft snow to start with & then patchier harder snow higher up to summit of Herman Law. Then fine gentle ridge walk over Trowgrain Middle, Mid Rig, Andrewhinney Hill, Bell Craig, the second Mid Rig, Nowtrig Head & finally Bodesbeck Law. By now a long way from the car, we reversed the route back as far as the col to the NE of Bell Craig & made a long slanting descent back to the road & walked the last 1.5km along the road in the gathering darkness. Easy but rewarding walk. | NotReallyABagger | 02/12/2012 |
