From Greenock cut visitor centre to Whitelees cottage and on to the trig and display boards. Return via Gryfe reservoirs and Loch Thorn then up to Scroggy Bank and Dunrod Hill. Great weather until 'summitting' Dunrod Hill when the snow arrived and visibility dropped - didn't last too long,Buck18/01/2024

Proposed route from Mansfield binned when discovered new windfarm tracks from substation on B788. This allowed easy access to top during a series of named storms and also permitted some views and a direct route off towards Cairncullen Hill.lordtonult20/02/2022

From 270739, assumed OK to drive up towards mask in the absence of any evident objection, but apprehended by guy at Whitelees for making that assumption. Returned to start then cycled to foot of hill.Topographer5707/05/2019

10th and final tump of the day on a 37.2km route from Kilbarchan to Greenock, climbing Barnbrock Hill, Law Hill, Barlogon Hill, Craig Muir, Barscube Hill, Knockmountain, Craigmarloch, Jock's Craig and Cairncurran Hill,descending over rough ground to cross at Eastern end of Gryff reservoir (no.2) then North, meeting track from Mansfield Bridge before ascending last section. Lovely views and lighting and a nice one to complete Inverclyde U/a on. Descent Wnw on track then obvious track before descending more steeply through wilder terrain to find hole in fence at NS28657 74471 to emerge next to boarded up property and onto Aberfoyle road then Kilmacolm road to finish at Whinhill station. Next train was in 40 mins but nice Airbnb host picked me up and I stayed in Port Glasgow overnight. Great day!Dazingdale27/05/2018

Train to Whinhill. Should have headed for Jura Place290743 - top right corner where there is a gate in the fence, then head up and right till you meet a water board road among some gorse. Go over the col and then up to trig. Fantastic views to North if it had been clearer. 2 hrs station to summit and back. Would be pleasant evening stroll from MansfieldThearlaichdubh16/02/2014
Suzanne and I made a late decision to go for a wander in the afternoon sunshine and this was a lovely stroll in crisp icy conditions that slowed us down a little, meaning we only just got back in the twilight. Fantastic views north to Ben Lomond.andy17/12/2011
Old Largs Road signs above the town to its end at a mast enclosure. A further 1,000m to Corlick Hill sign, on a wet track and final steep path to top. 14.00. Clyde, Greenock and Helensburgh.arranc24/02/2011
Parked at Mansfield Bridge. Soon lost the path (under snow). Really hard going - crust - sometimes up to my knees. Coming back I found the path indicated by the ruins of a wall.chrisbien02/04/2010
