Kevin Foster hiked Cushat Law on October 24th, 2018 [from/via/route] Starting point Alwinton. [with] Henry. [weather] Fine, sunny & very breezy. - A very long but pleasant approach through Kidland forest. Then just as I crested the ridge to reach the top I met a man coming down who had no trousers on! I don't know who was more embarrassed. Avoiding eye contact & not stopping I quickly hurried on. He didn't seem bothered. Maybe he does this thing regularly? Anyway the views from the summit wind shelter north towards The Cheviot, Comb Fell & Hedgehope Hill as I ate my lunch were just great.
