FRom Middle Fell. 6th of the day. Headed to Drumelzier Law by traversing northwards on the west side of Middel Hill and Glenstivon Dod.bolton16/08/2023
From Stanhope. Parking space c100m south of turn off. Along track to just past sheepfank then atv track all the way to the summit.daviemore21/07/2023
From a layby near the Stanhope turn off, walked almost to the end of the forestry track then up the channel without trees. Might have been better on the open road as I had about fifty flies swarming about. Probably would have been better to follow track to the southwest via Stanhope and follow Land Rover tracks to the summit.JAdair9716/06/2023

Picked up another ATV track back down to Stanhope Burn, downstream of the ford, where was a wee footbridge, then back to the car all the track past the farm.

Solo from A701 going down road to Stanhope, turning L after bridge over R Tweed to go towards Hopecarton but passing it on S and walking E to beyond stand of trees, then taking atv track S over and down hump beside forest on L. Steep climb up through tough heather to Craig Head then L (E) along atv up to Taberon Law: three pairs of snares were found across track - care required to spot and avoid them. Wind was v cold; didn't linger over lunch on N of CH but smartly returned along reversed uphill route to N of CH and then NNW towards Hopecarton but met electric fences so had to deviate to find wooden rungs over beside small stand of trees, thence down to main track near HC and onward to Tweed bridge.
