Ahead is the last steep climb up to the Scotland-England Border at Outer Cock Law. Braided hollow-ways on the steepest slope, to the right of the current track, show the multiple routes followed by the ancient drove road. The slope would have caused much difficulty when wet and in poor weather. An alternative route even heads round the hill to the right, into the head of the valley on the extreme right hand side of the photo.
