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.
