7.30a.Up track from Pulkito.the brazen could drive wind farm track to within couple of hundred metres of summit. I chose to walk last three quarters of a kilometre | vegibagger | 27/08/2022 |
On advice of Minto, drove up the wind farm track ( 2wd) no problem . Summit is grass and heather mound on west side of fence, a hundred m or so from the track- parked on verge at HP. Superb island views. | Denise | 05/08/2022 |
I parked at the bottom of the wind farm road by the closed GP surgery. I walked to the summit along the road rather than drive like others! Summit heathery mound by fence. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 05/08/2022 |
I'd have walked, but Denise and car insisted we drive up the wind farm track. Denise showed no guilt and car enjoyed the trip. | RichardM | 05/08/2022 |

I felt no guilt about the drive up, given the nastiness of Muckle Billia Fiold yesterday. No gates and no problems. What's with the speed bumps? I never accelerated above 20mph | Colin Crawford | 29/07/2022 |

Round of Mid Tooin, Kame of Corrigall and Hammars Hill from Graemeshall. Only recommended if you like trudging through tussocky, peat boggy heather. | Thearlaichdubh | 26/09/2021 |
From Milldoe. Down mast service track for a bit, then contoured to a middle track, then off by a fence to windfarm service road. Off through low heather in a sse direction. Reasonable going compared to ascent of Milldoe. | KeithByTheC | 06/09/2020 |
Up access track to gate just above Neigarth, then walked up track past wind turbines accompanied by a pair of oystercatchers. Short distance from track to HP. | PeterD | 25/06/2019 |
Drove to within 100m of summit on windfarm access roads from Woodwick. | jonglew | 24/02/2019 |
