| Bike helped greatly for two thirds of the way, though not the steeper, overgrown upper part. Just over an hour return from Spyhill cottage. | AndyS | 15/07/2023 |
| Forestry track almost to the top. | Tisteln | 05/07/2023 |
| Good parking at the start of the track to Spyhill Cottage, where the A957 takes a sharp bend. Followed good forest tracks, then a less used section more steeply uphill heading S, then SW to less than 100m from the summit in an area with widely spaced trees. | LizH | 12/02/2023 |
| From Mongour down through patchy firebreak to the main forest track heading SW. At bend take track to the left heading steeply uphill before levelling out again and followed track to high point before heading up through heather between patchy trees to summit area where there is a fence and the tracks over the gas pipeline. No clear summit area but feels as though its in an area close to the fence line. | Jossker | 04/02/2023 |
| Weather fair. | MountainMac | 13/06/2021 |
| Solo. Parked at the car park near Spyhill Cottage on the Slug Road (A957). Along forest tracks to Monluth Hill, only a very small part being off-track. Back same way. Open views initially as forest has been felled; it’s been replanted, though. Bright and sunny. | pwbellarby | 19/03/2020 |
| Good forest roads allowed for parking at NO 7295 8687, only final 400m a bit rough. Good track almost all the way to the top from there. Gate was locked on the return, fortunately situation quickly remidied without tears! | jonglew | 24/10/2019 |
| 4 hr+ morning walk there and back with L from our housesit to N, largely on good forest paths and tracks. Unlikely as it seems, lying underground along the summit ridge, and marked by warning posts against digging, are two of the five high pressure gas pipelines distributing North Sea Gas from the St Fergus terminal nr. Peterhead to the rest of the UK.The gas moves at @25mph and pressured to between 48 -60 bars -so not something you would want to dig into. Compressor stations are provided at 40 mile intervals; each compresses the gas from about 48 bar at 5 °C to 65 bar at 45 °C. The next station south being near Kirriemuir. | Chris Pearson | 27/08/2019 |
| 10 mile run from the parking at Hill of Quithel, Monluth and Leachie | nix_snilloc | 30/06/2019 |
| From the windfarm to the SW over rough heathery ground. Then down NW through the trees to a forest road. | Alan Moore | 24/07/2018 |
| Out for a walk with Kasi its great when my day off coincides with nice weather. | LizzieG | 24/03/2017 |
