9.12.09 Hartfell 808m, 12km, 5 hours

With the college we started north west of Moffat at Russell's Braes near Ericstone. Followed the path north east up spa well burn to Hartfell spa. We studied the map in relation to where we were, aimed for features and also took bearings. The walk continued north up Bills cluech then around the steep grassy heathery slopes to the summit of Arthur Seat. Then north up the path to Hartfell 808 metres. Descended south then south west down the ridge of Billscleuch Moor and then back to the start.  Heavy rain and mist with limited visibility on the summit.
