Walked soith on road to get onto farm track to Glennanty ( abandoned ) Gartnacopaig ( project house ?) , continued on track until close ish to Largiebaan where i encountered horses ( friendly curious ) and cows ( not comfortable with curious cows ). A ross b w fence and plod upwards. Was in the cloud. Small locahn at summit. Returned in similar fashion. | VerySlowPlodder | 19/03/2024 |
| From minor road to ESE, along forest track past Gartnacopaig, then at bend headed up trying to pick up animal tracks where possible. On to The Slate, but way back was hindered by felled area, which meant longer forest track was easiest way back to car. | PeterD | 11/06/2023 |
| 3rd hill of 9 on a 31km circuit from parking South of High Lossit on the Kintyre way, continuing from Creag nan Cuilean heading along forest edge then curcing round to descend just East of 224m spot then climbing Ssw to reach fenceline at 415m elevation and from there to the top. After a coffee break and snack on a rock South of the Trig pillar, I continued to Dun Ban... | Dazingdale | 18/05/2023 |
| Parked just up into a forestry road (NR 6505 1380). Walked ~560m SW along road to pick up track out to Gleahanty. Continued on ~850m past Gartnacopaig before breaking NW up to here. On to Creag nan Cuilean, The Slate and picking up Achnaslishaig Hill on the return for a good 13.3km round. | jonglew | 17/05/2023 |
| 1 of 3: Walked from Machrihanish campsite. Along the Kintyre Way then across rough ground. With Karen. | ChrisR | 26/07/2022 |
| As others from enclosed Ballygrogan car park. Same route as Gill. However lost the useful part of my GPS somewhere between 750m and 500m from the summit of Cnoc Moy in the heathery stuff I think. So if anyone finds it let me know, but I think in all that Heather it's probably lost for ever. 8 miles 3hrs 44mins walking time per Garmin, though some of that time was looking for my GPS. | JulieB | 22/04/2022 |
| Cycled/walked to Ballygroggan parking (NR624191), then along Kintyre Way to about NR611166, then SE to the 224m spot height in the col, thence straight up soft and rushy slopes of Cnoc Moy to summit, descended to 224m spot then up and along Creag nan Cuilean mostly on a fine old ATV track over its summit, then following the forest boundary fence E to the corner, through forest and up to the deep peat hags of The Slate summit (not obvious which is the highest), W back through forest, down slopes to Craigaig Water (some very difficult deep heather and bracken) and followed it back to Kintyre Way, then to Ballygroggan | kdbennett | 24/07/2021 |
| Afternoon, hot and sunny topped off with mist rolling in. From ear along track past Gartnacopaig onto The Slate | N.Morters | 17/07/2021 |
| Bike from campsite to Ballygroggan then similar route to Gill. Hard going off paths | daviemore | 21/09/2020 |
| Along with the Slate, via Kintyre Way. | DavieRuts | 31/01/2020 |
| #651 - As others, down the Kintyre way from the car park (62481912), then just horrible! | tim747 | 30/10/2018 |
| From the enclosed car park at Ballygroggan. Walked the Kintyre way south until the path starts to drop at 612167. Then headed up over rough, uncompromising terrain. Not pleasant at all. Great views from the summit. Headed to The Slate. | bolton | 12/09/2018 |
| Followed Gill's route, it gives a good start to the ascent. | Chris Peart | 30/06/2018 |
| From the car park at Ballygroggan. Along the Kintyre Way, across the end of Craig nan Cuilean, across bogs and thrash up Cnoc Moy through a wide variety of spongy bog vegetables. Back down, then positively flew up Craig nan Cuilean on a dry ATV track. This died a death amongst the peat hags and bogs, but there's a deer track along the fence. Over the fence and up an overgrown fire break getting better towards the top. The Slate summit is a collection of peat hags. Down above the Craigag water, joining a fine ATV track back to the Kintyre way. | Gill | 14/05/2018 |
