An ATV track aids continuation to Hirstane Rig and Rodger Law. Over to Ballencleuch Law then fence/wall line to Scaw'd Law. Once down the south flank a stone track heads up to Glenleith Fell and Wedder Law and Shiel Dod. The track continues to Daer Water and the Reservoir road. 4.5hrs. | summitter | 08/04/2022 |

Parked just north of Kirkhope at NS 96396 05816 - room for 2-3 cars in small quarry by road. Walked through farmyard and south on the track by the Daer Water. Then followed track steeply up the south-east flank of Shiel Dod to its highest point, then north for about 100m on plateau. It's anyone's guess where the true high point lies in such a flat area. Continued on to Wedder Law. | Man of Kernow1 | 03/09/2014 |
