Final hill of the day. Easy walk down the north ridge back to Nisbet. Solo.Dangerous Dave14/01/2019
With Shaky & Smithy on a beautful cold, clear Ne'er Day walk from Culter Allers Farm. Up Fell Shin to the summit of Culter Fell & then following the fence line down & across to Chapelgill Hill. Crossed the fence to reach Birnies Bowrock directly & then followed the E side of the fence to the summit of Cardon Hill. Followed the other side of the fence back to the col underneath Culter Fell dodging a lot of detritus from the old fence. Dropped very steeply down next to Kings Beck to gain the track back to the start. A better plan would be to stay high on the shoulder to the N of the gully & then drop down the heathery slope to pick up the track lower down.NotReallyABagger01/01/2019
Continuation of solo walk from Chapelgill Hill and Birnie's Bowrock. Crossed fence to get cairn but did not linger as wind was even stronger and colder than earlier. Descended SW beside fence, stopping to tighten laces, and went over peat hags on col, stopping again to tog-up. First visit was, also solo, on 10/06/2015.jacobus19/11/2018

Solo. From road junction near Culter Allers Farm. To end of public road and along track that goes to Coulter Reservoir. There is a path/track up the broad ridge coming down from Culter Fell. It's particularly boggy on a flattish section. Contoured round the slopes of Culter Fell to join a track going towards King Bank Head. Over minor tops to Chapelgill Hill and Cardon Hill and then back to Culter Fell before descending.pwbellarby08/09/2012
