Round of Hill N of Glen Prosen from good packing in quarry near Buckhood. Fairly direct climb to The Goal, then along ridge to Craigs of Lethnot, Hill of Couternach, Coremachy, Cairn of Barns and Hill of Strone. Return along ridge, bypassing summits of Cairn of Barns and Coremachy, and climbed Knachly and Hill of Spott on return. Cold on the higher tops, but good views to Lochnagar and stayed dry.RobertP01/08/2023

A delightful clockwise round of three tumps, Hill of Spott, Knachly and The Goal and a Hump, Hill of Couternach from great parking in the old quarry just west of Buckhood cottage, much better than the verge near the bridge. Mainly good paths and tracks.Minto18/12/2021

Walked from The Goal, on a convenient but unsightly track. Descended from the col to the SE, across the western slopes of the hills back to the gate at NO35489 63804. Some good animal tracks, and more pleasant than the higher track as a return route.LizH14/12/2021
