23 Above is a view back up through the catchment area with a feeder burn for the Potrail Water. I certainly did not take the easy option by coming down this way from Scaw'd Law - it was tough coming down that hillside never knowing how deep the snow would be and slip sliding around in it. However I was aware that there is a short sharp descent from Durisdeer Hill down to the Roman road below Well Hill and when on the top of Scaw'd Law I decided to come down through this catchment area I knew I might be taking the safer option - being without ice axe or crampons.
In the picture below you can see right through to the trees at Overfingland as we look down the way ahead for us.
