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 kilometrevegibagger27/08/2022
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 Dave05/08/2022
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.RichardM05/08/2022

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 20mphColin Crawford29/07/2022

Round of Mid Tooin, Kame of Corrigall and Hammars Hill from Graemeshall. Only recommended if you like trudging through tussocky, peat boggy heather.Thearlaichdubh26/09/2021
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. KeithByTheC06/09/2020
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.PeterD25/06/2019
