Parking 200m SW of Shorthope in large off-road area (NT218124). Back to Shorthope where forest road to ENE is barred by a No Access Unless Authorised sign (but nothing about who, or where, to get authorisation). Instead, took grassy track SW, zig, to a quarry, then an indistinct zag L, which then joins the main zig drag S up onto Lochy Law and on to Black Knowe. That’s the end of the easy stuff for the day. Verging on purgatorial veg from Black Knowe to Cauld Face (bizarre picnic table with benches beside trig point in this pathless wasteland). Easy onto Hope Head. Beware which firebreak you pick for descent – somehow I ended up in Turner Cleuch, which is a real obstacle course, and delivered me to the riverside E of Brockhoperig and then a km back W along the river bank, in purgatorial veg, to Shorthope.Isbjorn16/04/2023
