Nipped up this one at start of doing the Glen Sherup Donald's circuit. As the forest track heads uphill beyond the Reservoir the edge of the tree plantation covering this hill looks impenetrible but once you push past the outer branches the route up is clear and unobstructed as the trees are well spaced apart and bare at ground level. The highest point is also clear and easy to reach. No cairn. Returned to forest track to continue the main circuit.Jossker27/01/2024
Mature plantation and easy to find ways up through the well-spaced trees.sclater18/01/2024
Black Hill and Innerdownie from Glensherup.RobertP31/08/2023
Easy walk up through the trees from the col to the south.fasgadh06/01/2023
A surprisingly easy walk up between the lines of mature trees from the high point on the forest road to the SW. Descended northwesterly on bike tracks. Solo.Dangerous Dave04/03/2022
As part of monster bike ride- very wet and boggy trip that saw us return in darknesskathyh20/12/2020
Easy and pleasant ascent by mountain bike track meandering through the trees from forestry track at NN967049. Descended off-piste SE to rejoin forestry track, then spotted another MTB track leaving the forestry track at NN968044 which would probably have been a better descent. If heading for Innerdownie this would make a good break from the forestry track trudge.TRG31827/05/2020
Easy from the col to south of hillhillsman23/09/2019
from glen sherup cp, along track then up through trees following a mtb trail to near the top.robertphillips23/03/2019
Round of 6 tumps from Glen Sterup: Black, Innerdownie, Whitewisp, Tarmangie, Cairnmorris and Shee. Up MTB trails on north face, tree fight down south ridge.Topographer5719/11/2017
Freezing fog on A80 but lovely sunshine in Glen Devon. From CP track to col S of hill and reasonably easy through the trees.chrisbien20/11/2016
Along the forest track to NN967043. Then up the fire break to the clear summit top.Play2End09/08/2016
From convenient car park at the foot of Glen Sherup. Quick and easy ascent before work. Same route as alda & Minto.Lindsay M19/06/2016
Ideal for camper-vanners. Footpath from car park, to join forest road, which is followed L at junction round hill to col. Then easily upwards through trees to obvious summit in trees. Feeling that I'd not encountered enough of the trees I took a sporting line in descent, approx NW, to rejoin forest road about 200m from footpath junction. Found evidence of MTB trails near to track.Minto17/06/2016
Looked forbidding but turned out to be easy from col on track to south-east of summit. Choice of easy breaks, no need for hands or hood up, just a little light ducking and a couple of easy step-overs.alda27/02/2016
