From road summit, marked 207m, to the E, past the masts and on to the Trig pt, kept ca. 10m below masts on S side on the way back. Windy and grey but the rain kept off; I thought it woud be a wash out today so glad to get out... and another Ma!pwheeler21/03/2024
From the viewpoint to the East, past the 'mobile' masts? Thanks to the lovely people who built the styles with the blue pipes over the barbed wire which I noticed on the way back, nearly did myself a mischief on the way to the trig.DavieRuts19/03/2024

On a day when high winds and rain were forecast. Easy walk on tarmac access road to transmitters….ignored the signs and the workies in vans. Nice person has placed blue pipe across the barbed wire fencing, to make crossing easier. V v windyVerySlowPlodder09/05/2022

Parked at end of mast road then up tarmac to masts. Took a northerly diversion out (by error) but followed path back over the two stiles. Getting through the mast area is a dawdle.SS22/01/2022

Parked near the viewpoint on the minor road to the east. Walked directly up to the masts. Easy to climb fence on south side of masts. Through a gate that opens in the next fence and over a stile at the final fence to reach the trig point (summit). A beautiful sunny day with excellent views of Ailsa Craig, Arran and much else. Bogs dried up and not a cow to be seen. Back same way.pwbellarby21/04/2021
Georgeous day for a walk from the view point up the road to the masts and out to the summit. Back by a lower route to the south. Great views over to Arran today.3 kinnears24/12/2020
