From SW, parked at start of track. Along track to far end of field, over fence, and up to summit field which was full of cows and a bull. Used Bryher as a decoy dog to attract the bovines while we took it in turns to dash across beyond the reservoir compound to the summit.Minto31/07/2022
Minto & Bryer acted as decoys for the bull & bullocks while I bagged the summit.Dangerous Dave31/07/2022
Diversion from Castle Burrian/Bay of Tafts circuit.the pigguy 28/01/2021
First stop from Ferry, drove past house, walk along track then through two gates to HP just east of reservoir. Puffins at Castle o Burrian nearby well worth a look.PeterD26/06/2019
Driven up the track then walk across the field to the top. Needs Jon Glew's 4WD, and it's necessary to reverse down the track when finished.Gill26/02/2019
Drove to HY 5117 4182; walked the last bit. Natural HP seems to be just east of the resr compound - at the mapped 53m spot height.jonglew26/02/2019
