With Iain. First hill of 2022. Blue sky - there and back in 50 mins.iangpark17/01/2022
A circuit of Middlethird Hill, Lewis Hill and the reservoir from NS 7706 9074. A fine walk along the edge and surprisingly quiet for a Saturday.summitsup04/09/2021
Delightful path from south over Lewis and Middlethird Hills keeping on ridge towards Murrayshall Quarry. Return by road and path on west side of North Third Reservoir.lordtonult09/04/2021
Well used good path from the S. Parking for about 6 cars.bjewing14/03/2021

Nice sunny day and pleasant walk with Barry Berghaus.kojak29/05/2020
Easy after Middlethird hill and back to car near Shielbrae. Middlethird is the better viewpoint of this fine ridge.Thearlaichdubh30/12/2019
With Middlethird Hill. Superb walkhillsman31/10/2019
From the south, up the obvious path to summit. Explored the cliff line. Sunny and first signs of snow on Ben Vorlich to the north.N.Morters26/10/2019
Enjoyable walk up to the trig pillar and great views of the reservoir.Delta6804/08/2019
Pleasant walk with great views. Slight detour as bridge over last stream is closedAl_N03/07/2019
Parked in rough layby along with overturned trailer and dog-walkers' vans. Across the road and on to the path then followed th distinct path through the woods then on up to the summit with its white trig point. Impressive views north and south but somewhat limited due to heavy cloud and rain at times. On to Middle Third HillJubilado17/06/2019

Fire smouldering on top. We managed to reduce it a bit, involving a jungly trip down to the reservoir and back for more water, but had to call the fire brigade to finish the job. Idiots had chucked a hot barbecue down the cliff (as well as cans, glass bottles etc). Some people would be mentally outclassed by the average amoebaIainT16/07/2018
Started from the CP by the concrete bridge North of the escarpment. There is some forestry working taking place this summer, but no need to deviate from the escarpment Edge path. The summit of Middlethird hill is one of a number of y mounds on either side of the path where it bows towards the grassy apron of the dam, probably the around the lower trunk of a Scots pine. Here and the summit of Lewis Hill are superb viewpoints. Returned via the western bank of the reservoir and wished I hadn't, given the amount of litter in an otherwise beautiful landscape.Nick Down124/06/2018
Enjoyable amble up whilst searching for geocaches hidden in the area.3 kinnears08/04/2018
lewis hill and middlethird hill from layby just south of shielbrae, down to dam path that goes up between them.robertphillips07/01/2018
Scenic - with Lynn, Peter, Sarah and Paul, from S, on to Middlethird Hill and back round reservoir.nix_snilloc08/04/2017
Ran up and down in 20 minutes from the south. Fairly steep but good path. Good views from the summit and well kept trig point.Stevend101/01/2017
Here for the trigpoint Sauchie Crag. TP:UK log: Lovely walk up in the evening light, a good set of geocaches too, great view from the top. YSM322 Sauchie Cragthejackrustles16/03/2016
Up via Old Sauchie, then along the craigs and down via the bridge (marked as a ford) over Bannock Burn.mardypig03/08/2015
Via linking path from Middlethird Hill. Very enjoyable walk up from that side.Lindsay M29/03/2015
I wish I'd read the early log comments. Parked to the S, very unpleasant crossing deep mud tracks and brashings for 200m to get to undisturbed path. If you must climb this in 2015, don't do it from the south. Once beyond the initials mess, a very pleasant walk.Minto02/01/2015
Figure of eight walk from bridge over Bannockburn. An excellent walk along the craig edge.richtea504022/12/2014
Tree felling in progress, usual path blocked. Suggested path by the burn is swampy with no indication of how to rejoin the path beyond the devastation. Super views from crags.neimcv30/11/2014
