01 I was on this route on 11th June 2008, never having been on these hills before. However I had been in the Culter Hills on 4th June 2008 and had taken the picture shown below looking down over Kingledores to these north Manor hills. If you mouse over the image below you will be able to see their names. In studying the map while producing the Culter Fell web gallery after that walk I could see a route with plenty of potential over in the Manor hills, going up over Taberon and back down by Glenstivon Dod and that is the route shown on the map above. I fancied a look at the Thief's Road and wondered what the views would be like over to the Culters from these hills and what the big boys, Dollar Law, Cramalt and Broad Law would look like from up there.
Being a stranger to these north Manor hills I had in fact got the names of the hills wrong in this picture when I did it for the Culter walk - I had mistaken Pykestone Hill for Drumelzier Law - which of course I have since corrected. That was another reason for going up onto this north Manor hills route - to come to a better understanding of their layout than pictures like this one below allow.
You can see that I did the route above anticlockwise.
Mouseover to see the names of the hills in the picture below.
