(13.12.2015) Dun Rig,
21km, 6hrs 38mins
Highways December meet. Started the walk at Orchard Mains South of Innerleithen. Headed NW over settlements skirting the side of Orchard Rig then the climb to Birks Hill 624m & Birkscairn Hill 661m. From here we followed the fence line SW to Stake Law 681m & then onto Dun Rig 744m. The snow was ankle deep at times but descending Dun Rig the snow was even deeper. It was hard going with deep snow & heather. Made our way SE over Whiteknowe Head 511m then a sort descent before a little climb to Deuchar Law 543m. Decended NE onto the Southern Upland Way then the B709 to Traquair. The weather was very cold with frost and deep snow but dry with clag over the summit of Dun Rig.
