Mountain Description
|
|
|
Broad Law is the most W of a range of hills lying to the N of the Talla and Megget Reservoirs. The broad rounded top lies at the intersection of three ridges which run S to Cairn Law (717m), SE to Lamb Knowe (662) and NNW to Great Knock (693m). The slopes on this hill are generally easy but the crags of Polmood Craig lie only 850m NE of the summit. This hill can be accessed from the A701 road by track, starting from the bridge to Hearthstane (2.3km N of Tweedsmuir), but is more normally accessed from the S via Cairn Law

Climbed with Alison on 17/7/08. A very straightforward ascent which involved handrailing a fence all the way to the summit. The rain rarely stopped but this did not spoil a fine, if short day out.

They advise to park at the Meggett stone, but blink and you will miss this, there are no signs. The place to park is right after a cattle grid, there is space there. Then a fence leads straight from the road all the way to the summit, its a very easy route on gentle slopes, making this an ideal walk in poor weather or to get your eye back in after a break. Was impressed by the scenery as well, nice area.
