| On my OS map there is a bridge over the stream at 907 204. There is no bridge , but there is a wide area if big stones which will allow several cars to be parked without interfering with any agricultural or estate activities. Much evidence of very high water levels from Storm Babet ( sp). Usual way onto old drovers route which winds its way up hill. Where that track ends on my OS mapping i just plodded up hill. Many ups and downs. Flattish area is mushy and soaking. Sheep being gathered for tupping. | VerySlowPlodder | 08/11/2023 |
| Boltons parking spot below is a good one.Better hill than expected.Friendly farmer at Bragleenmore. | ARM | 27/10/2023 |
| The grass verges at Bragleenmore were boggy after rain, so we parked at a junction up the track between the two bridges - despite the sign a farmer said it was OK. Then took the track from the farm, turning off too early to find the ATV track. | Galltywenallt | 29/03/2023 |

| The verges were all very boggy at the road end but the shepherd at Bragleenmore let me park. Ascent by the handy track as others. | Chris Peart | 14/04/2017 |
| From parking area near Bragleenbeg, as grass was too wet for verge parking. Up the track from Bragleenmore, then on ATV tracks to a sheep feeder, ATV tracks up right, then strike out to the summit across the nicely spaced tussocks (as in your feet will fit nicely on the smooth bits in between). Nice grassy summit cone with good bits of views between storm clouds. First bits of storm Barbara beginning to arrive, so strong winds and fierce snow on the way down. | Gill | 22/12/2016 |
