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! | pwheeler | 21/03/2024 |
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. | DavieRuts | 19/03/2024 |

From the viewpoint, mainly over easy grass. A circuit of the tops and summit, with Ailsa Craig and Arran playing peek-a-boo across the dips and rises. | Nick Down1 | 15/05/2023 |

Parked on grass at end of tarred road to masts. | duchally | 20/09/2022 |
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.

Walked up from cattle grid / locked gate at NS 297165. Operated SOTA on short wave from summit. | G4OBK (Phil) | 07/03/2022 |
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. | SS | 22/01/2022 |

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. | pwbellarby | 21/04/2021 |
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 kinnears | 24/12/2020 |
