| Great summit views. Provides a real appreciation pf the island layout | SpudGunn | 23/08/2021 |
| Lawfully drove up the road then 4 paces to summit. We don't get many complete drive-ups but I confess to accepting them with a kind of perverse satisfaction where we do. Nice all round view, especially down to Kirkwall. | Topographer57 | 18/08/2021 |
| We drove most of the way but walked the last bit. Walked down to the cairn which was obviously shut for covid, to safeguard the hundreds of people we saw up here at the same time... /D | meltdiceburg | 30/07/2021 |

| After mid hill before Keelylang Hill. KeithbytheC insisted we didn't drive all the way to the summit, so we parked by the mast and climbed about 50m to the summit doing a little circuit. | JulieB | 05/09/2020 |
| up steep path from radio mast 50m below summit on south-east side. | KeithByTheC | 05/09/2020 |
| 2 of 3: After Keelylang Hill we parked at the closed Pickaquoy sports centre CP. Quite a few people on the walk to the top. Returned the same way. With Karen. | ChrisR | 09/08/2020 |
| From Kirkwall via old Finstown road. Detour to the Wideford cairn. Morning Har took ages to clear, just as departed summit. Onto Keelylang Hill. 1 of 3 Marilyn | N.Morters | 26/08/2019 |
