| From the road end at Heylor. Directly up to summit. Return along west side of Gersfield Water, as far as 2nd smaller lochan, then directly down to track. Conditions very dry underfoot so fairly easy going but impagine it could be quite hard work after a wet spell. 2.2miles just under an hour walking time. With KeithByTheC. | JulieB | 30/06/2021 |

| From the road end | curlebd | 09/06/2019 |
| Much nicer hill than expected - peat hag channels ran more or less in the direction of travel (from road end to NE, near Heylor). Wild moorland - lots of lochans in view. | ger | 08/06/2019 |

| A surprisingly easy and pleasant walk from Heylor, parking by the ruined cottage complete with Plastic Pig. Steeply up to a bump, weave slightly down across peat hags, easily on gravelly/rocky areas, then up mossy ground to the summit, with fine views. Excellent views of the red cliffs falling from Ronas Hill into Ronas Voe. | Gill | 25/08/2018 |
