Roadside verge parking at Castlehill (NT 2137 3543). The FB doesn't exist so it was a wade across the ford, wide and about a foot deep. Quick splash throught - dry feet, wet trousers - result. Up to Canada Hill first, then easy ground over Glenrath Hill to here. On to Glenrath Heights, Hundleshope Heights and return for a 14k round.jonglew14/04/2022
Yesterday I nipped down to Peebles, to do the Dun Rig horseshoe route south of the town. This is clockwise circuit with of four Donald hills starting with Birkscairn Hill (661m), then south west up to the boggy summit of Dun Rig (744m) also a Graham. Continuing south west then turning north up onto Glenrath Heights (732m) and west to Stob Law (676m). From here the route was to return to Glenrath Heights, but the re-ascent was more than I fancied, so I dropped down to the north into the Manor Valley and followed the road back to Peebles. There was cold mist with strong winds up until Dun Rig, but this burned off and the bright sunshine, actually obscured the view to the south, 07:40hrs all in.chillyman816/01/2022
Parked at Hall Manor, by the entrance to a forest track at NT 21168 35233, where there is room for 1-2 cars.

A long walk through from Glenrath Castle farm to the Megget Dam. With B and R. Warm sunshine.jenx20/04/2019
With Shaky & Smithy on a windy day during a New Year week in Peebles. Parked at the end of Glen Road & walked up the pleasant track along Glen Sax just past the boarded up house at the end of the glen. The track marked on the map branching across the burn & past the stand of trees up to the fence line SW of Birkscairn Hill is now very indistinct. In the end we just heather bashed further up, getting increasingly buffeted by the strong wind. Continued over Stake Law to Dun Rig & then round the very rough head of the glen. There are ATV tracks near the white marker posts to help. Followed the fence easily on to Middle Hill & then the out & back to Stob Law, a good viewpoint. Over Hundleshope Heights & down NE to join the track running along Dead Side. Dropped to outward track & wandered back in the gathering gloom. A fine round.NotReallyABagger30/12/2018

Craig Head - Kirkhope Law - Birkscairn Hill - Birks Hill - Stake law - Dun Rig - Glenrath Heights - Stob Law - Hundhope Law - Newby Kipps.

Solo, from P at Haystoun, along Glen Sax track to 400 metres beyond Upper Newby turning R up initially indistinct ATV track and onto ridge S then SW on clearer ATV track to arrive close to cairn on Hundleshope Heights. Continued towards Broom Hill by verging onto fence line, at times muddy. At BH turned R, NW, down and up onto Stob Law: returned to BH. Weather was excellent for walking - sunny with a little S wind. First visit was on 08/04/2015, coming up Glenrath to Glenrathhope and onto Middle Hill of Glenrath Heights first; however some difficulty with cattle on return to Glenrath farm encouraged the present route.jacobus14/05/2018
