From layby through rough track to Littlewood good track all the way, came down over Black Hill, planned Manabattock but light was fading, lovely weather, great views to Tap o’ Noth & BennachiePDuncan8220/01/2020
From Dubston, circuit of Lord Arthur's Hill, Edinbanchory Hill, Brux Hill and Clova Hill. Great views and easy walking on mostly good tracks. Had intended to include Manabattack Hill but track branching off at 545201 not apparent on ground and fenced off.rjf3502/01/2020
We parked at the entrance to Dubston and set off on a counter clockwise circuit of the Correen Hills. The path to Clova Hill is delightful, passing an old quarry en route, and only leaving the path for the last couple of hundred metres to the trig. A grassy path continues around Badingair Hill then SW on to Brux Hill and Edinbanchory Hill before a sharp turn eastwards up to Lord Arthur's Hill. An ATV track leads to Black Hill then a short section over heather joins another track to a brand new deer and rabbit fence skirting Manabattock. Fortunately there is a gate at the end of this track, allowing access over heather and through open woodland to a small stone summit cairn. Made it back to Dubston by following the deer fence northwards. About 3.5 hrs to do the whole circuit.summitter13/10/2019
From good grass parking at Dubston, NJ548200. Around back of the property, along level lane then up Fouchie Shank, direct to top - a nice, energy efficient route, no meanderings, no wastefull downs and ups.Isbjorn25/05/2019
