Circuit from Alva Glen. 
5 of 6 | thekirkie pirate | 29/11/2023 |
Dedicated parking in Alva 100m N of golf club car park (NS885976). PF up the Alva Glen, crossing burn several times, then sticking to zig zags on steep W flank until gate and stile. Through gate, thin path fades out, then zig zag up on grass between bracken, to gully up Wee Torry (not recommended in descent unless you’ve been up this route before), on to Mid Cairn, then Bengengie Hill. ATV tk to Blairdenon Hill and round to Craighorn before col at NN888010, then pathless to col at NN894005 and up to Ben Ever. Up Ben Cleuch, greatly assisted by the wind, on to Andrew Gannel Hill and col at NN928004, up King’s Seat Hill and back to col. FP down E flank of Gannel Burn seems to be falling into disuse. Back along A91 to Alva, to give wind a chance to dry everything out | Isbjorn | 21/09/2023 |
From Menstrie via Myreton Hill and onto Mid Cairn (Craig Leith). | Campbell Singer | 20/07/2023 |
Roadside verge parking to the W (NN 8323 0261). Good track to Blairdenon Hill then rough ground across to here. On to Kidlaw Hill and Big Hunt Hill on rougher ground for a 13k round. | jonglew | 07/02/2023 |

Curved around from Colsnaur, mainly on grassy tracks. | sclater | 14/12/2022 |
Circular route from Alva Glen car park. Followed path and track to NE of The Nebit, then easily up to the summit. Returned and then climbed NE up track to reach summit of Ben Ever. Continued to Ben Buck and Ben Buck NE top. Used windfarm track and then pathless terrain to contour round NW of Ben Buck then easy climb to Craighorn. Continued on to Blairdenon Hill and S along long ridge to Bengengie Hill and Mid Cairn. Descended down SE spur and obvious gulley to reach path down W side of Alva Glen to reach car park. Some rain, but reasonable visibility for much of route. | RobertP | 14/10/2022 |
A repeat. | bjewing | 29/09/2022 |
From Menstrie up zig zags then followed excellent grass track after gate and burn to the summit of Colsnaur Hill. Good going by fence then a dry crossing of Menstrie Moss to pick up atv then trod to Bengengie Hill. Headed out to Mid Cairn and back crossing the moss slightly further south then back by upward route. Fine day. | SS | 25/04/2022 |
Across the peat hags from Menstrie Moss after bagging Blairdenon Hill. It would have been better to keep high and skirt Menstrie Moss following a track which leads directly to the summit. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 06/03/2022 |

Round of Craig Leith, Bengengie, Craighorn and The Nebit, easy along paths to Bengengie which has fine crags. | Thearlaichdubh | 08/09/2019 |
Up the stunning Alva Glen from the car park, crossing on to the west side and a steep climb to Mid Cairn. Pleasant grassy path to Bengengie Hill then a boggy crossing of the Balquhain Burn to a stone wall. A path on the west side of this wall leads straightforwardly to Colsnaur Hill then down to Myreton Hill. A SE descent over grassy hillocks eventually brought us to an ATV trail, which led down to a builders yard (I think) then Back Road. The walker friendly Back Road leads straight back to Alva Glen car park. 3 hours in total. | summitter | 01/09/2019 |
From lovely Alva Glen, steep pull up to Creag Leith, then Bengengie and Craighorn. | neimcv | 02/04/2019 |
Alva Glen car park at NS 88453 97485 and up Mid Cairn. From Mid Cairn, along well-used ATV track & then a decent path/sheep trod to the summit cairn. Continued to Blairdenon Hill, Craighorn & Ben Ever. (S) | gerrybowes | 29/08/2018 |
From Mid Cairn, then across the trackless but dryish expanse to Blairdenon. | Pete R | 21/04/2018 |
From Coalsnaur hill. Walk could've been extended via Blairdenon Hill if time and inclination had permitted. Really steep sides to the Balquharn Burn, so the further you go north the less descent and re-ascent is required. | Minto | 22/06/2017 |
Parked in Menstrie then up track before going off-piste to avoid gate and plantation to Myreton Hill. Then steeply down beside fence to climb back up to Colsnaur Hill, climbing a handy style halfway up. Then across to Bengengie Hill before descending the ridge to Mid Cairn [Craig Leith]. Then down to the sheepfold and across the dam back towards Menstrie with Jonathon, Norman, Nigel and Gavin. | Dugswell2 | 22/06/2017 |
On Jonathan's evening tump bagging County completion. | NormanW | 22/06/2017 |
