Roadside parking opp ent to Garrochar tree farm. Good track leads to Knockeans (house), then direct line up. One wall to negotiate.jonglew18/02/2021
Parked at the church in Creetown. Took the signed path for woodland walks, and then a small path heading upwards at NX48451 58723. Unfortunately that path did not continue, so walked up through the fern covered forest floor to exit onto the open hillside. Up on cow/sheep tracks to the summit. Descended towards the 'Larg Hill' track, which would have been a better ascent route.LizH24/07/2020
