#1 of 2 from SW, Jamestown car park, wide tussocky ride SE to Merry Law | RHW | 03/06/2023 |
Same route as chrisbien | Andrew Simmons | 27/01/2022 |
From the end of the public road at Merrylaw. Walked to the end of the track past Deep Grain. The first part of the FB is almost a stone track which disappears at the bend. Most awkward underfoot was at the summit. Onwards along fence posts to Merry Law. | chrisbien | 31/05/2021 |
Parked at end of mapped logging road (NY 3380 9889), final ~600m had mini-conifers growing in middle of track, so good vehicle ground clearance ideal. Good breaks runs SW then NW to top. Followed fence line on to Merry Law. | jonglew | 02/03/2021 |
Continuing S along the boundary fence. The section from Woodbus Fell to Black Burn Head is utterly hideous underfoot. | agentmancuso | 27/07/2019 |

Two car linear walk with mae, Loch Tima to Jamestown. 13 hills, 9.5 hours. Very heavy going on ungrazed vegetation. No tree problems encountered (except where we diverted from route to utilise forest roads). | jimbloomer | 27/09/2017 |
