Parked in large passing place ~125m NW cattle grid (NX 3485 9238). Took mapped track ~90m NW further along road leads all the way to Craigenreoch Hill and continues on to Pinbreck Hill. From there it's rough ground down to the 406m spot height and up to here. Went out for the Mid Hill trig pillar, then back for Changue and Haggis Hill.jonglew14/12/2022

2nd hill of 13 today on the 1st of two loops from Barr village. After Drumneilie hill i continued NE to access wide ride with pylons crossing. Vehicle ruts helped aid progress but i veered off to climb to the top of Fell Hill; wooden posts cross this non-top with young conifers randomly spaced. Continued to the cairn. The landscape is standard moorland scattered with conifers. Next hill: Pinbreck.Dazingdale12/05/2017
After Drumneillie, over Fell Hill. Deep soft snow today, which rendered otherwise useful vehicle ruts quite redundant, An 8.5 mile round which felt a lot longerColin Crawford09/02/2017
