Participants: Just me
Where: Langlaw Hill, 369m/1,210', P 100m, Hump, OS 72, NT 100 382 and The Knock, 286m/938', P 42m, Tump, OS 72, NT 032377
Langlaw Hill proved to be a very easy walk with a woodland car park, just north of Broughton, at its foot. From the car park, I followed a track to the southern edge of the wood and then a path to the top of the wood, went through a couple of gates and joined another track which went to the summit. The summit area is a well defined hill fort with a noticeable ditch. The cairn stands in the middle of the fort.....
The nearest other hill groups are Culter Fell.......
and the Broughton hills, Broughton Heights, Clover Hill and Trahena Hill.....
There was plenty of time to stop in Biggar on the way home and to add The Knock. I parked on Lindsaylands Road and walked a short distance up Langlees Road to where a double style got me into a field from where it was an easy walk to the wood at the top. There was no view once in the field but a good view of Biggar fro just outside it plus another view of Culter Fell and Gathersnow Hill.....
