As others parked at Kinnelhead. | Andrew Simmons | 23/02/2023 |
11 mile anti-clockwise circuit of Hamarty Hill, Mid Height and Harestanes Heights, then a quick visit to Craighoar Hill, before descending north onto the track, and back to the car. Very boggy ground at the head of Rushy Grain and Penny Gill - visible as bright green streaks on the satellite view - would be best avoided! Parked at provided car park at 041-048, since farmer has largely filled the old one at road-end, with piles of gravel. Great views. Very peaceful. | Toby-and-Dion | 05/02/2023 |

Parked at end public road to Kinnelhead (NT 0331 0157). Excellent track to beyond Blairmack, then up to Whiteside Hill -> Hamarty Hill -> Mid Height -> Penbreck, and its SE Top. From there took a line across a very haggy Fortypenny Moss up to the southerly of the 2 Harestanes Heights peak (556m), then across to the main 578m top. Headed NE to pick up the outward track, ~800m West of Blairmack, for the return. Pleasant 12 mile round to finish up the Dumfries-shire Lowther Hills. | jonglew | 06/04/2021 |
