After meeting at Leadhills School Car Park at 10am a small group of Biggar Ramblers made their
their way to the other end of the village where they took a rough grass path up to the
Game Keepers stony track along Hunts Law, this being the track they would
follow throughout the walk that day. They were grateful for this, because as the walkers
continued up the hill the group became immersed in a windy wet mist shutting out any
views of heather covered hills and valleys. The mist cleared now and again but only for a
brief time giving the walkers a glance into the surrounding areas before it was back to following
the track in the mist, it is at times like this that all ramblers are grateful for such good tracks. After lunch and in brighter weather conditions it was on to Priest Pool, passing Sill’s Hill, negotiating the
Ford with no real problems. They then traversed around the side of Snar Law passing a
derelict Shepherds cottage in the lower valley beneath Sowen Dod to follow the track up the
last ascent to the other end of Hunts Law, where they returned on their outward grassy path to the
village of Leadhills. www.biggarramblers.org
