From the forest road to the SE, on route to Nether Oliver Dodd; return by same route.benalder28402/01/2024
Parked off A701 at gated forest road entrance SW of Tweedsmuir. Track all the way out of the forest, then grass to trig. Solo.Dangerous Dave15/12/2023
Started off at Kingtedores Farm and took the track to Hopehead. Very steep climb up to Coomb Hill and then pretty easy going to Gathersnow Hill, Hillshaw Head and Coomb Dod. Decided to come back via the upper route: Glenwhappen Dod, White Knowe Head, Glenmuck Height, Upper Oliver Dod and Nether Oliver Dod which was a bit of a tussocky trudge.tsharp18/08/2023
From Tweedsmuir, up an old overgrown forestry track to the main logging route and quick walk over moorland to the summit/trig.JAdair9710/04/2023
Biked up the forestry track from A701 to near the top.robertphillips11/02/2023
From Nether Oliver Dod. Picked up a swarm of several hundred flies, who kindly accompanied me on the hack through wet sponge, moongrass and deep heather to Glenwahappen Dod.Wycombe Wanderer09/08/2022
From the forest track off A701. A winding track but gets you very close to the topAndrew Simmons18/06/2022
Room to park at the track entrance south of Tweedsmuir. This fairly open forest track goes very near to the top of Upper Oliver Dod. I then followed the fence (wall) to Nether Oliver Dod. Descending from that you can see a break in the trees and the ascent track. So i took that option rather than heading straight down and then walking along the road. Longer but the open track is lovely walking and i hate walking on busy roads.hils27/05/2022
Up from the forest road to the SE. Then on to Nether Oliver Dodd from where a direct descent to road.NormanW11/02/2022
From Kingledores, parking on what looked like part of the old road (NT 1090 2810), through the farm and up to Glenlood Hill, Broomy Law, Coomb Hill, Gathersnow Hill, Hillshaw Head, Coomb Dod and Glewhappen Dod first then on to here. After, continued NE along the ridge to Nether Oliver Dod and return to the car at Kingledores for a pleasant 20k horseshoe round.jonglew20/01/2022

Up forest track just south west of Tweedsmuir on gentle inclines to just below Upper Oliver Dodd. Took in trig then down and up to Nether OLiver Dodd. Cut corner on return taking obvious break in trees.SS29/04/2018
From Hopehead to the NW. Tried to follow the path shown on the map but only about half of it still exists and had to cross fences to reach it. It might be better to go straight up the hill from the dale.Alan Moore01/12/2017
