The Law, Ben Cleuch, Andrew Gannel Hill & King's Seat Hill.duchally18/01/2024
Round from Glen Sherup. Day started off wet and windy with aftermath of Storm Babet. Finished dry with sun.cjo21/10/2023
Dedicated parking in Alva 100m N of golf club car park (NS885976). PF up the Alva Glen, crossing burn several times, then sticking to zig zags on steep W flank until gate and stile. Through gate, thin path fades out, then zig zag up on grass between bracken, to gully up Wee Torry (not recommended in descent unless you’ve been up this route before), on to Mid Cairn, then Bengengie Hill. ATV tk to Blairdenon Hill and round to Craighorn before col at NN888010, then pathless to col at NN894005 and up to Ben Ever. Up Ben Cleuch, greatly assisted by the wind, on to Andrew Gannel Hill and col at NN928004, up King’s Seat Hill and back to col. FP down E flank of Gannel Burn seems to be falling into disuse. Back along A91 to Alva, to give wind a chance to dry everything outIsbjorn21/09/2023

Round of hills from centre of Dollar by Dollar Burn. Walked up road on E side of Dollar Burn then track above Burn of Care. Then picked route through felled forestry up SW ridge of Hillfoot Hill.

Easy continuation to Tarmangie Hill, Cairnmorris Hill, Stythorn Hill and Andrew Gannel Hill. Descended E to beallach, then climbed outlier Elistoun Hill before returning to beallach and climbing King's Seat Hill. Descent ESE along ridge and then interesting path by Dollar Burn.

Parked at the top of Upper Mill Street in Tillicoultry & up King's Seat Hill. From King's Seat Hill, a decent path over easy terrain to the grass covered summit rock which lies about 12m S. of the fence. The lower SE Top is a much better viewpoint. Continued to The Law. (S)gerrybowes04/09/2019

Came from Ben Cleuch leaving its main path and over fence taking a direct line E on a narrow path to col with AGH and up beside fence to summit; also visited the rocky nose to S, where I had lunched during the first visit on 08/09/2015. Sun continued to shine although the wind was still strong as I descended W, veering away from fence as I ascended over The Law, then down to Tillicoultry and along path W to P in Woodland Park.jacobus13/11/2018
A terrific traverse of 8 Ochil New Donalds with Martin66, Smithy & MarkH with cars at both ends. From the parking area by the side of Castlehill Reservoir, up the track to Glenquey, followed cut grass path from NW of reservoir beyond its limit on map all the way to the summit. Continued easily over Whitewisp Hill & Taramangie Hill. Dropped steeply SW & slogged up the path to King's Seat (worth continuing to SE end for view). Dropped W & up path NW to Andrew Gannel Hill. Crossed fence & took direct path to Ben Cleuch: a rather untidy summit. Round to the bump of Ben Ever & down tracks to Alva Glen. Brilliant round in great weather.NotReallyABagger11/08/2018
