Broad Law ...

Nice when inspiration appears isn’t it! In my case, a bit of involvement with Manny’s Corbett Run has got me interested in that particular hill list. I finished my Munros back in 2000 and been rambling round helping other along with theirs ever since but my own hill sport has lacked a bit of focus. This is now being provided by the 219 mountains whose summit sit between 2500ft and 2999ft.

One of the many really great things about the Corbetts, is getting to areas that you might not otherwise have visited. Sunday was spent on Broad Law to the north of Moffat with Mirsia in perfect weather. The road over from Tweedsmuir to the Meggat stone gave a little more inspiration for a road bike trip at some point.

The route was straight forward and went up between the twin cairns on Cairn Law before continuing on to Porridge Cairn (what a wonderful name) and the broad
shoulder of Broad Law itself.
Surprise of the day came as we reached the trig point and viewed what looks like an UFO landing pad (it is actually an air traffic control navigation aid). We took some photographs before sitting down by the wall and enjoying some lunch in the sun.

Stopped in Moffat for coffee and cake before heading back north again.



The air traffic navigation thing !
