Broom Hill Although it is a very modest hill - its summit is barely 30 metres above here - it has, or perhaps had, a triangulation pillar, which I might investigate one day when the wind drops a bit.

Wet Road The lowest part of this road on to Bisset Moss is two or three inches under water, but fortunately the verges were reasonably firm so it was possible to get past dryshod.The old maps show this track going right across Bisset Moss to Bainshole, but the more recent ones show it petering out part of the way across. In the background is part of the forest plantation on Broom Hill.
