The Borders

At this time of year I’m always keen to get some days in to maintain hill fitness ahead of the winter season. When winds are forecast to be strong on the higher hills or there’s rain further north it’s always worth giving The Borders a thought. Mick and I had a good day today on a circuit of hills south of Drumelzier. Although we encountered some pretty strong winds it would have been worse higher up and we were in sunshine all day, but could see rain clouds further north and west.

Our circuit included The Scrape, Pykestone Hill, Grey Weather Law, Long Grain Knowe, Middle Hill, Taberon Law, Drumelzier Law and Logan Head. The walking was excellent and generally on small tracks and paths with very little boggy ground or deep heather. Visibility was good with views to Arthur’s Seat, The Eildon Hills, The Cheviot, The Lowthers and Tinto.
