Same parking as others. Cows in field so down road to feed hoppers and up by burn through plantation to top. New deer fence also has chicken wire so a bit tricky but manageable. River Forth views. | NormanW | 25/08/2023 |
From layby P @ NN 8216 0051. Reaching the highest ground, being on the S side of the fence, now has the challenge of surmounting what is now a deer fence (no gates in sight). So, not as straightforward as experienced by Nick Down1. | summitsup | 23/04/2023 |
Bridge of Allan-Knock Hill trig-Gallow Hill-David Stirling Hill-Dunblane Roman Camps-Brown Hill (up from track to the north, then contoured along break at around 400m below 453m summit to reach col to NNE of Brown Hill summit; descent to west)-Stone Hill-Black Hill-Bridge of Allan | campagvelocet | 14/02/2023 |
Directly from Stone Hill through gap in intervening plantation to give 194m ascent. Returned to pt237 and on to Black Hill. | lordtonult | 13/10/2022 |
CW route from Menstrie with Myreton Hill. | bjewing | 27/03/2021 |
From the layby near pt 249 on the Sheriffmuir road. A straightforward amble to the summit, rewarded with a surprise view of the Forth between Dumyat and Myreton Hill. | Nick Down1 | 13/11/2020 |
From the Sheriffmuir road | hillsman | 21/10/2019 |
parked near pt 249m easy enough going on frozen ground today. | robertphillips | 11/01/2018 |
From Sheriffmuir to reservoir then onto hillside. Return via Loss Hill. | neimcv | 27/10/2017 |
From the minor road then a track to the small reservoir. Easy going then up the slope to the summit which is the 419m spot height if you are ever there in fog or darkness! | Play2End | 23/11/2016 |
Probably same route as C.B. but couldn't see much as it was dark, or rather moonlit. Easy going up first field to height of trees. A bit rougher afterwards. Fine cold, clear dry evening, with Emma & Rona. 1hr round trip. | Minto | 24/02/2016 |
P space at NN 82150 00441. Gate by trees - diagonally up to next gate then assorted tracks and trods up and down. | chrisbien | 23/01/2016 |
Ochils training run, Dumyat, Loss Hill, Big Hunt Hill, Colsnaur Hill and Myreton Hill. | Eddie | 06/10/2002 |
