A group of 8 members of Biggar Ramblers took to the Moffat hills recently Starting from Talla
Linnfoots the group walked beside the Gameshope Burn once described as the burn of a hundred
waterfalls. After 2 miles the waterside walk changed into a hill ascent to the summit of Molls
Cleauch Dod. The original plan to walk onto Lochcraig Head overlooking Loch Skeen changed when the conditions worsened near the summit. The walk leader decided it would not be worthwhile continuing and all agreed to cut the walk short. The route was then to contour Molls Cleuch Dod northwards at 700 metres height and cross the saddle between Molls Cleuch Dod and Carlavin Hill descend=ng to Talla Water. Once Talla Water was reached a break was called for lunch. Refreshed but still wet the descent on the road led the group back to Talla Linnfoots. www.biggarramblers.org
