Munwhul, Millfore, Millfore SW Top, Gairy of Pulnee & Cairngarroch. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 08/10/2022 |
From Loch Trool out to White Laggan bothy which I had not previously visited then up to Loup of Laggan. Good atv track (easy to follow) all the way to top from there although it drops to a faint path on occasion. Back same way. | SS | 29/07/2022 |
Parked at Bruce's stone car park and followed the Southern Upland way to White Laggan Bothy to find a path that can be followed to the Bealach between Bennan hill and Gairy of Pulnee, from here the route took in Bennan hill, Gairy of Pulnee, Millfore and Cairngarroch, you can drop off north to follow the Droughandruie strand to reach the southern Upland way and retrace your steps back to the car park. Eighteen miles in Eight hours with 4000ft of ascent. (parking on the bend south of Craigencallie house and walking West to White Laggen Bothy would make the route shorter) | WAYNE ROWLETT | 11/07/2022 |
Took the tent to Castle Douglas for the weekend, parked at Auchinleck on Saturday 18th June. Headed westerly around forestry tracks before gaining Garlick Hill (trig has no reference plague) then north to Larg Hill, east across Lamachan Hill, Curlywee and Millfore (trig had no ref plague either). Then turned south to Drigmorn and back in car, 09:45hrs all in, dry all day, but a cold strong wind. 
 
Tried these hills in March but fallen trees blocked my ascent up a fire break, hence the circular route around Garlick Hill. | chillyman8 | 18/06/2022 |
Started from A712 just E of Craigdews. Followed vehicle track and crossed to path running above W side Tonderghie Burn to join forestry road until NW of Poultrybuie Hill. Short rough ascent to Poultrybuie Hill, then back to track for a while and then short climb to nice summit of Munwhul. Back to track and across to walk N around W side of (felled) forestry to reach ridge and steady ascent to Cairngarroch (quite complex summit area, visiting various high points as well as the cairn. Returned along ridge and continued to Millfore, the interesting top of Gairy of Pulnee, back to Millfore SW top, easy descent S and across to Fell of Talnotry. Descent through forest ride and then rough felled forest to forestry road followed on S side of Black Loch and back to start. Mainly misty and drizzle but some clearances | RobertP | 23/11/2021 |
Parked at disused quarry to the E (NX 4889 7578). Ground very rough for first 100m to fenceline, then improves. Millfore and its SW Top first then across to here then return for a short 6km round. | jonglew | 14/08/2021 |
Climbed with Teddy from Black Loch vai Millfore. Dropped down to this to pick up a geocache at White Lochan of Drigmorn. | jigglybones | 26/09/2020 |
Parked near the bend on the single track Craigencallie road. Good forestry track to the col between Munwhul and Millfore, a faint path to Munwhul and a surprisingly easy ascent of Millfore. A pleasant stroll to the SW Top (at least it would have been without a fierce south-easterly) and on to Gairy of Pulnee, descending by the White Lochan of Drigmorn and cutting across to Cairngarroch surprisingly easily and with only moderately damp feet. The descent from Cairngarroch, though, is a nightmare of tussocks. | Nick Down1 | 21/03/2020 |
From parking area N. of Craigencallie House, up Cairngarroch & Millfore. From Millfore, ATV track down SW ridge for about 200m & then headed down to col below Red Gairy - From col, ATV track & decent trods to the summit outcrop which is now mossed over. Continued to Bennan Hill. (S) | gerrybowes | 18/03/2020 |
2nd of 11 tops today on a 30km route from Auchenleck parking area to Murrays monument car park, climbing Bennan Hill then heading NE to Loup of Laggan then SE on the high ground past the Black Loch before heading East and climbing to the summit. I recorded 585m @ NX 46774 75615 as the summit. Still raining! Carrying on to Millfore Sw top.... | Dazingdale | 26/08/2018 |

The line I drew on my map in 1990 goes over the 570m contour ring near its northern edge. By my rules I am counting this as done as I went through the last contour ring containing the top. The problem is that the top is at 581m and there should be a 580m contour ring. | Alan Moore | 27/05/1990 |
