Counter-clockwise round from Manorhead to Manor Valley (Megget Resv), Pykestone Hill and then to here. Stunning weather, fabulous views, superb walk. Can’t believe how many reports below have gone straight up the W slopes from Manorhead - a route that is unremittingly steep and must require phenomenal fitness, stamina and mental fortitude! A route best kept for going down, not up!! Clocking in at 35cm higher than the Cheviot, this is the biggest hill that Storm has climbed to date.

Brilliant 15 mile hillbagging circular on lovely grassy terrain from Manor Valley, up footpath to Greenside Law onto Notman Law, across to Cramalt Craig, back to Fifescar Knowe, onto Dollar Law (trig), down and out to Middle Hill, across to Grey Weather Law, Pykestone Hill and The Scrape, back down Northey Knowe to the car. Perfectly clear and sunny views over hundreds of hills for miles. We love it in this area, no one else seems to come to the Southern Uplands though!

High up and over 800 metres AOD makes any trig point in this situation worth visiting. We combined it in a walk from Manor Water. After Dollar Law we then went for Broad Law via Cramailt. One very hot and sticky day for May...!

One corner is damaged, but otherwise OK. Top open. The cloud came down as I neared the summit, so no views today. White mountain hare running aound on the lower slopes.

Big hill and easy going underfoot. Donald bagging trip, a round of Stanhope in showery weather. Corner flaked off the top and the tw@ with the allen key has been by, otherwise OK. Loads of bired, curlews and golden plover, and both species of hare were about up here today.

Second highest trig pillar in the Scottish Borders. Pillar in good condition, but cracks are starting to form near the top of the sides. The FB faces WNW. The spider is open, whoever stole the OS spider cap from this pillar at least had the decency to reinstate the Allen screws.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 19th July 1958 costing £35.10s.8d. In 1959 this marker was computed for triangulation as secondary station NT33/6 in the Peebles block. Flush bracket S9829 was levelled for height also in 1959. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in June 1977. High grazing hill.
