05 The track that you saw in
the previous page comes up to join a forest road and in the picture above
we are looking north-west back the way we have come along this road - to
Stowgill Dod (in the sunlight) which is at the southern end of Riccart
Law Rig with Peden hill at the other end (where we started descending
on the SUW/Lother Route). My "Landranger" map shows forest on
either side of this road but as you can see that forest has been felled
and felled forest is no fun to try and make your way through. So we will
stay with the SUW until it emerges from the forest. On the Dun
Law web gallery you can get a view down to where we are in the above
picture from between Stowgill Dod and Faugh. Just click on the link to see
it. In the first picture below we are at that point where the SUW emerges from the forest and this is where the forest road stops in the wide area by the gate where vehicles can be turned. The SUW marches merrily onward through the gate and that is what I should have done. But as you can see in the third picture, there is also a forest road coming down off the striped shoulder of Meikle Shag to this point and I had the notion that I might get up onto the top of Meikle Shag that way to get views down towards Overfingland. So off I went up there till the track came to an abrupt end and I had then the prospect of struggling through felled forest to get up to Meikle Shag. Fortunately this was near enough to the edge of the felled stuff to be be able to get out onto the open hillside without much difficulty. So we carry on through the gate here, forget about going onto Meikle Shag and just make your way up onto Comb Law directly as shown on the map. |
