Parked below the lower reservoir dam for a circuit of 5 Tumps. 2/5 | PGCE | 01/03/2024 |
From Alva Glen cp. The Nebit, Ben Ever, Ben Buck ne top, Blairdenon and Craighorn. Cup of tea at windfarm with the maintenance guys. | Campbell Singer | 18/07/2023 |
Straight up the track from Frandy Farm. One deer fence to climb at corner to Middle Hill. On to Skythorn, AG, Grodwell, Ben Cleuch, Ben Buck, Ben Buck NE top, Burnfoot and back to road end at A823. Great time of year for these hills as grass still short & pretty dry underfoot | Lynnebe | 08/04/2023 |
From the Woodland Park carpark (NS 8985 9749). The Nebit, Craighorn, Ben Ever and Ben Buck first, then took a direct line down and up to here over rough tussocky ground. Retraced steps up the hill to Ben Buck, then Ben Cleuch, Andrew Gannel Hill and The Law for a 19.2km round. | jonglew | 21/02/2023 |
Circular route from Alva Glen car park. Followed path and track to NE of The Nebit, then easily up to the summit. Returned and then climbed NE up track to reach summit of Ben Ever. Continued to Ben Buck and Ben Buck NE top. Used windfarm track and then pathless terrain to contour round NW of Ben Buck then easy climb to Craighorn. Continued on to Blairdenon Hill and S along long ridge to Bengengie Hill and Mid Cairn. Descended down SE spur and obvious gulley to reach path down W side of Alva Glen to reach car park. Some rain, but reasonable visibility for much of route. | RobertP | 13/10/2022 |
Hill to finish a Glendevon Cycle, despite being local to me this side of the ochils is pretty unknown, but not now, really visually stunning landscape. Tarred road to Backhills Farm, then windfarm quality track that passes quite close to the summit. | hils | 05/09/2022 |
Had missed this out when previously in the area. Did it today as a long slog on hard surface from the foot of the reservoir road. Give me peat hags and heather any day, over this type of walking. 
Day was enhanced by being able to view / photograph the buildings that were submerged by the Upper Reservoir. Water level incredibly low and easily visible. | Fife Walking | 27/08/2021 |
Weather fair. | MountainMac | 15/04/2021 |
Parked in layby opposite wind farm entrance at NN 9488 0527 - Along road & up wind farm tracks until due E. of top. Less than 200m over rough pasture to summit stones. Continued to Bald Hill. (S) | gerrybowes | 13/08/2020 |
From parking area past gate out tarmac road then up access road to Ben Buck NE Top. Returned to Backhills then direct to Bald Hill (tough going with snow in ATV ruts). Dropped back to Frandy Farm and track to car. | SS | 17/11/2019 |
From Alva up the glen to East to end of made up road and contoured round Ben Buck to windfarm. Bad idea as it got increasingly haggy until the windfarm tarmac. On way back just went over Ben Buck on tracks. Nice views when you can't see the blades. | Thearlaichdubh | 13/09/2019 |
Left the car on the A823 at the end of the Glendevon Reservoirs road (which was very icy, and Private !). Long walk in to the windfarm then a serious plod to the high point through snow which was soft, yielding, and drifting in the cold NE wind. Apart from the turbines, a real sense of wilderness. Returned over Bald Hill, total 14.2k. | NormanW | 06/01/2018 |
Ochil rambling from A823. Round of Wether, Craigentaggart, Core, BuckNE and Bald. Plenty of tracks and wind turbines. | Topographer57 | 29/10/2017 |
The great and magnificent Ben Buck NE Top done Last hill of four around the reservoir. Easy walking on the wind turbine tracks. | Play2End | 28/10/2016 |
Easy but depressing | alda | 03/07/2016 |
parked car at entrance to windfarm on A823 ACW round of bald hill, ben buck NE Top, ben cleuch, the law, andrew gannel hill, skythorn hill, middle hill, cairnmorris hill, ben shee, nice sunny day mostly on good paths and atv tracks. | robertphillips | 09/06/2016 |
From Woodland car park, up track to end on moorland. Best line is half right, uphill for about 80m ascent - faint vehicle tracks - which contour round to the fence junction. Then wind farm roads (not all marked on 1:25K map), and summit. Returned similar way, but descended over Craighorn. | Minto | 05/05/2016 |
From Alva Glen car park up lorry track west of Ben Ever and east of the Nebbit / Craighorn to its end. Then contoured round north side of Ben Buck to foot of Burnfoot Hill at another lorry road and two buildings. Would have been better going over Ben Buck to avoid peat hags. Back via Ben Cleuch and Ben Ever. | russell61 | 07/04/2016 |
P nr dam Upper Glendevon res. Road to Backhills then windfarm road nearly to top. With Tom. | chrisbien | 05/01/2013 |
