Rhinns of Kells from Forrest LodgeHuwel26/08/2022
Solo anti-clockwise loop from Forest Lodge car park. 6am start to try and avoid the worst of the heat. Fairly straight forward walk through the forest and easy ascent up to Hennessey's Shelter - reached Corserine summit just before 2h elapsed time. Headed across to Millfire, and then on up to Milldown (50mins after leaving the corbett summit). Hit the summit of Meikle Millyea at 9:15am, took some more photos and had a wee break before heading down. The descent and walk out took around 1h 10min. Sunny skies and a light breeze on the tops - total time was around 4h 28mins.mproudfoot14/08/2022

Parked at Forest Lodge, with Kevin Woods. Headed up Professor Heilberg Road, then once out of the trees onto Meikle Millyea,north to Milldown, Millfire and up to Corseine (which only has a trig and small cairn on top). From here we decided to include Carlins Cairn, then contour around the NE slope of Corserine to then cross the NE shoulder and drop back into the forest to trundling along Robert Watson and Bridgit Natvig Roads. 7hrs all in breezy at along the tops, but good views in every direction and my first glimpse into the Galloway Forest proper.chillyman815/07/2022

Solo ascent of Corserine and then continued over Millfire, Milldown, Meikle Millyea. The car park was surprisingly empty (4 cars incl. me). I was passed by a walker from E Lothian on way up Corserine - he returned the same way. I met a runner/walker who was doing a big round of the local hills.langskill31/05/2021

Classic round of southern half of Rhinns of Kells. From Forrest lodge. Hardcore road now goes to edge of forest at start and finish with forest part of route marked with green arrows.sarahk02/05/2021
From parking area to E (NX 5582 8265). Took a line up over roughish ground to Meikle Lump, bypassed Meikle Millyea trig and took ridge N to Milldown and Millfire, then returned S for the trig and continued on to here. Pushed further S for Little Millyea.jonglew02/05/2021

From Green Well. Knockower, then full ridge to Meikle Millyea, including Cairnsgarroch. A super ridge walk. Sunny and very clear so great views. Descent to Clenrie was pretty rough. With B and R.jenx26/09/2020
A circuit of the southern Rhinns of Kells from Forrest Lodge: Corserine, Carlin's Cairn, Corserine again, Millfire. Milldown, Meikle Millyea true summit and summit adjacent to trig, ending with a few minor slips on the wet grass and heather of the Meikle Lump descent. The views towards the Awful Hand range and the largely unspoiled adjacent hills and lochs make this a really outstanding walk.Nick Down119/09/2020
