Today myself and Hitman9956 enjoyed a 23km walk from Fairlie which included Blaeloch Hill (407m), Brown Hill (344m) and Kaim Hill (387m). The views over the islands and countryside were very good and we enjoyed the walk. This was a rough walk from the track but as this summit was so close we couldn't resist. A nice view over the reservoir. /D | meltdiceburg | 26/08/2023 |
904 bus to crematorium and on to Marilyn returning over Brown Hill in time to continue bus journey two hours later. | lordtonult | 19/05/2023 |
From the windfarm car park, following the wind farm track to where the slope on the right is retained by gabions, beyond which an initially narrow path leads to the summit. The Blae Loch lived up to its name today. I descended over the summit of Brown Hill and easily enough through grass and reeds to a fence into the field next to the A760, which has no barbed wire where a former gate leads to a three half-pipe bridge over a drainage ditch. Thence to the road and back. | Nick Down1 | 10/04/2023 |
When I climbed Blaeloch Hill, Tumps hadn't been invented, and the wind farm wasn't there. Easy up the road, very wet underfoot thereafter. | Minto | 25/06/2022 |

Solo. From the car park at the start of the wind-farm road on the A760. Up the wind-farm road to the high point of the road and then west to the summit of Blaeloch Hill. Descended on an old ATV track/bit of a path over White Knowes to the wind-farm road. Then north on rather rough ground to include Brown Hill. Excellent weather. | pwbellarby | 29/09/2020 |

No bogs today, hasn't rained for weeks | hillsman | 21/05/2019 |
After a reasonable morning the weather turned nasty just as I parked up at layby to N - straight up & down the track in lashing cold rain. | agentmancuso | 02/03/2019 |
From layby to N, though parking at windfarm equally easy, then up the windfarm track and across the bog with good views of Cumbrae and Bute, after being timekeeper at Victoria Park run. | Thearlaichdubh | 01/01/2018 |
From layby due N. Blaelock Hill first. | jonglew | 16/11/2017 |
Bad enough doing a third visit to Blaeloch but I must be marginally crazy to claim this one again. I blame my companion, Chris Peart | Colin Crawford | 16/11/2017 |
It's not my fault - Colin made me do it. | Chris Peart | 16/11/2017 |
