Today's walk was another blatant HuMP bagging trip.
This time, as well as the dawg, I had my pal Alan with me.
Woden Law and Humblemoor Hill lie on the east side of the Kale Water valley, just to the South of Morebattle/ South east of Jedburgh, and West of The Cheviot. Both hills, and the continuation ridges are steep sided but grassy and dry and give easy walking.
We parked at the foot of Woden Law (422m) where the roman road Dere Street (York to Dalkeith) meets the tarmac. Its a stiffish climb up on to the top of Woden Law but there's cracking views of the Border ridge as far as The Cheviot and The Schil.
Woden law is an iron age British hill fort which is well known for it's practise roman siege works - lots of humps and bumps and ditches and ramps and stuff. Its difficult to identify what's what. Bruno had no idea as he didnt really bother with archeology...
Following our exploration of the lumpy top of Woden Law, we drifted Northwards along the ridge to Langside Law with its trig point (394m) then down to Buchtrig Farm.
Humblemoor Hill(360+m) is a short and easy climb from Buchtrig and sports a small but perfectly formed cairn and an electric fence. This was the main objective of the day, so kerching! (in the bag)
We mooched further North along the easy ridge to Little (ever so) Humblemoor, The Hows and Tronshaw Hill. The walking along this ridge is easy and the views are good, so it should score highly in any self-respecting hillwalkers table of high-scoring easy walks with good views.... and even hillwalkers who don't respect themselves very much would probably enjoy it.
After this treat, we dropped down to the minor road to the east and walked back along that to the start.
All good, clean fun.
