Cycled in from Blairadam carpark with Mikey 2YO, bagged this peak before heading off to get the East peak.Blair51217/02/2024
Along the forestry track from the north.Andrew Simmons02/02/2024
Cycled downhill from the north, then round of St Ninians East (ascending direct from the north) and West (ascending from the south west) before cycling back uphill in north eastward direction.Topographer5718/12/2023
From Kingseat across the causeway. A very enjoyable walk.Crumblie211/11/2023
Cycled up from the pilgrim waydaviemore20/05/2023
A very different walk from the norm. Parked in Kingseat, plenty choice to park. Many tracks and paths to choose from, and a myriad of lochs, wetlands, hugely mixed flora, an odd sculpture and even a motorway. Definately interesting and different. Felt weird to be on the top, looking up to where the car was...didnt like that bit.hils23/05/2022
From entrance to thornton wood, west then east 4km in 1hrNicky C30/10/2021
After the Eastern.Was enjoying the quiet and birdsong until a motorbike appeared doing several laps of the hill.Signs specifically say no motorbikes.Hirta23/04/2021

From the North, Thornton Wood entrance. Round the loch to top, then on to St Ninian's East.NormanW21/10/2020
From St Ninians East took the direct route down, Crossed the track and took direct route up. Twin peaks which seem to be the same altitude. Fascinating spot. Headed west from the top and complete the circuit of the pit back to Thornton Wood Entrance then to car at Blairadam. Warm, clear, sunny.Jubilado03/08/2020
From the north, thornton woods entrance,robertphillips17/07/2020
After the eastern sculpture. Spiral road overgrown on this one and the two steep summit knolls badly scared by motorbike morons. Day wearing on and the pests started to emerge on the way back to the car. Interesting “hill” as the coal company went pop before they finished it. Whole area worth a visit and do it soon as it will be developed and tidied up. It’s great as it is now.fasgadh12/07/2020
Splendid wander from Thornton Wood entrance, the re-constituted open caste works not visible until I dropped over the edge. Both main tops visited, plus a couple of others which clearly aren't Tumps, but worth the ascent to make the most of the area. I'll come back to this Jencks playground after a few yearsColin Crawford09/07/2020
Not sure which of the two steep little bumps is the higher but I did them both.hillsman06/07/2020
From Thornton Woods entrance, anti-clockwise round the lochan. West then the better summit of East. More uphill getting back to the car than climbing either, or maybe both!Minto04/07/2020
From main entrance on B914. Hot. Went clockwise East then West St Ninianschrisbien01/06/2020
Twin peaks..Play2End31/05/2020
From the Thornton Woods entrance, through the forest strip to what must have been a massive quarry. Have been watching this green over from the M90 for a few years now, but was very impressed by the natural regeneration now taking place - hooching with skylark, goldcrest and several kestrel today. Did an anti-clockwise walk around the tracks, taking in the two major bumps, St Ninians East being particularly fab with its tyre-rimmed summit trees, rusty machine sculpture avenue, and Euro-map. Worth a wander if you get the chance.summitter24/05/2020
Round of all 3 St Ninians starting from bus stop in Kelty and going anti clockwise. Further west one looks more prominent than the mid west one.Thearlaichdubh06/05/2020
Less frequented than the eastern top.Fife Walkingblank
