Parked at the Forest of Birse road end for a clockwise circuit of 10 Trump's and 1 sub. 1/11PGCE25/02/2024
From Burnfoot and up track to top. Across to Baudnacauner - heather and haggs then more of the same to pick up track to NW and out to Burnfoot. Went on to do Hill of Duchery/Black Moss/Carnferg/ Brackenstake and Kerloch.StueyB14/12/2023
From NNE, off-road parking just W of Burnfoot entrance, good track passes close to summit. Bonus P16 on way down!RHW01/10/2023
Avoided the hags completely heading east from this hill to Baudnacauner by traversing below the col on south side at ~510-520m level (any lower and the heather gets deep).Dave McG09/11/2022
Followed land-rover track from Burnfoot to top of Cock Hill (no cairn). From there headed east across the soul destroying peat haggs to top of Baudnacauner (no cairn). Headed north west from there to pick up land-rover track back to Burnfoot. 7 mile round. Easy going apart from dull trudge between both tops.Jossker02/04/2022
An easy circuit from Birse Castle, using the track up to Gannoch Hill, then over Tampie. Down until the route to Mudlee Bracks is visible, then shortcut down to Fungle Road and up an ATV track next to the fence. Over the top and onto the track to Hill Of Cammie. Shite ground N towards Cock Hill, but bits of mown ATV track help, except over the 550m bump and 536m col. Good track thereafter over Cock Hill. I cut back towards the Fungle road on a mown track but this involves fording the Water of Feugh. Would be better using either the bridge by Ballochan or further E but I had left the map in the car...Gill06/09/2020
Felt like we had been shipwrecked and washed ashore when we finally pulled through the last of the peat groughs on the arduous up and down crossing from Baudnacauner. On a 5hr outing with L and the dogs from Finzen sawmill. Then down the track to lovely Birse and 3 mile road walk back (once again) - seeing a toad, adder,and lizard all on the warm tarmac within 5 mins of each other.Chris Pearson19/07/2020

Numerous severe peat hags on the way from Baudnacauner. Hundreds of hares like them. Track down from top to road not pretty but much easier.alda11/05/2018
