30 This picture was also taken from the far end of Bodesbeck looking down into Moffatdale where it runs into Annandale - with Queensberry and the Lowther hills in the background. In the picture below I have zoomed into Capplegill where we park to either go up onto Saddle Yoke and Swatte Fell or onto Bodesbeck Law itself - where this picture was taken from. That's Bodesbeck farm near the bottom left corner of the picture you have to come over Moffat Water and past Bodesbeck farm to get up here. We park where you see the red asterisk but the folk who stay in the house there also park there so it is very important that you don't alienate them by affecting their right of access to their own parking space. If you were to use two cars one car could be left at Capplegill and the other at Birkhill - in which case you could save yourself the walk back along the ridge to Birkhill by just descending to Capplegill from Bodesbeck Law.
