Route as jonglew, although there are now a few fallen trees to avoid. Visited summit, alternative highpoint and cairns. | PGCE | 13/04/2023 |
A bit of a circuitous route using good paths mainly apart from dodging some felled trees. Last stretch to top through widely spaced trees so no real problems. | NormanW | 08/03/2022 |
Easy walk if you go the right way! Look out for path on right just before turning circle. With B, B and R | jenx | 01/08/2021 |
From Yair Forest CP. up track then took MTB/path cutting corner off the big V. Left fork higher up, just before large turning circle another MTB/path up through trees to summit. 2 tall thin cairns, and explored ground about. | N.Morters | 22/05/2021 |
With Rod from Yair Forest cp up track to end then a mountain bike trail followed by some easy bush whacking to summit. Descended down the steeper mountain bike track then forest track in only rain of day. | SS | 10/05/2021 |
Small forest parking area NT 4403 3475. Good track to NT 4388 3462, then up rough fire breaks to top - from NT 4387 3431 an unmapped break leads up in a straight line to near the top. | jonglew | 17/01/2020 |
Follow forest road, good short cut before the dogleg, continue to the end....just before the end a muddy track goes up to the rhs, this then widens inside the woodland and goes directly to the summit cairns. | Adrian | 22/12/2019 |
From the car park to the N of the hill. Followed the forest track a little way SW to 43887 34624, then steeply up on an old bike trail, going further SW a little higher up to a better trail to the summit. Generally widely spaced trees to walk through. Summit by the larger cairn, and could find no other similarly high ground. | LizH | 04/12/2019 |
P start of cycle trail, left at big track junc then immediately up crazy VTT trail to top. | agentmancuso | 16/02/2019 |
From the north, starting at forestry car park and almost immediately tight onto the narrow and suicidal cycleway to the summit cairns. I could not find any higher ground. Met several cyclists on their way down, one of them told me he was making a video for Pyramid Filmz (sic). | Topographer57 | 05/11/2017 |
Glad a few others had pioneered a route. Biked up the track, turned left twice, then descended slightly to the edge of the felled wood and followed trod up from SW. Then read the wrong notes (note for my next hill, Crailzie Hill (starts with a 'C')) and searched for non-existant higher ground SW! | Eddie | 30/08/2017 |
From Yair hill forestry commission car park to north then up suicidally steep mountain bike descent route through coniferous forest. Two stone cairns on mossy track at summit, but HP is about 50 m further on indistinct mossy lump. No views. To avoid the MTBs we followed a maze of alternative paths down. | Denise | 04/02/2017 |
From car park on N side of hill, along forest road (gated), left at junction for about 30m to start of steep path up bank. Path goes all the way to the summit area but beware this is a fast mountain bike descent route and they won't be able to stop quickly (if at all). High point is ~80m SW of the nice cairns. | RichardM | 04/02/2017 |
Parked at start of cycle trail. Then found a suicidal cycle run which led straight up the hill to the stones where I wandered about looking for more height but couldn't find any. After I fell over a few time I did a more zig zaggy descent | Thearlaichdubh | 27/12/2016 |
gate open drove up track to within 600m of top. | robertphillips | 05/05/2016 |
From Ashiestiel car park (no signs to it - drive 300m from road, past where cycle way heads off to left). SW on forest road. After about 300m, headed uphill, SSW, through the trees to the summit. | Minto | 12/12/2014 |
Parked before the CP near Ashiestiel Bridge. Up track SW and then E. Followed fire break to top. | chrisbien | 19/06/2010 |
2 old slender cairns by ride in thick forest, at N end of 380co; no view. from car pk 440347 due N via steep rides to summit | RHW | 16/02/2003 |
