| From the end of the public road. Round of eight Tumps today | Andrew Simmons | 05/08/2023 |
| Parked to SW at end of public road (NS 6667 1540). Bike to ~250m E of Clocklowie (ruins), walked from there on good forest roads and breaks to Earl and Auchtitench Hills first. From there break continues SSW then W to emerge from the forest at NS 7055 1813 (lot of windthrow so veered off through the trees near the end). Rough, wet, tussocky grond to here. On to Clocklowie Hill to emerge out of the forest at the bike. A lot of rough, wet breaks, and as bad out of the forest. | jonglew | 16/12/2021 |
