At the forest (and national) boundary Whilst the photographer is just inside England, this view over the fence line mostly takes in grazing moorland of Hawkwillow Fell towards Hungry Law, in Scotland. This point was reached by a short crossing from the nearby forestry road through the edge of the plantation on Greyhound Law. This photograph was taken during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020/21/22.

Lunch spot on Hungry Law Perhaps not the most sensible of ideas, but a seat on the edge of this trailer looking back towards Greyhound Law resulted in a permafrosted posterior for the remainder of the walk! The trailer would appear to have been abandoned, perhaps having been used for carrying fencing materials. This photograph was taken during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020/21/22.
