As others from NE parking near cattle grid. Various sheep tracks followed. Visited tops of a few peat hags, but one with stones on top seemed marginally higher. | PeterD | 15/05/2023 |
Hard in the tussocky and peat hags terrain | Kiltie | 04/09/2022 |

Parked to the NE, on the minor road to Ollaberry at the cattle grid. Up through heather and peat hags to the summit. Misty day. | LizH | 24/08/2021 |
As vegibagger. | PGCE | 21/10/2019 |
From road to NE visited about 6 past hags the in each of the 170m contour rings. Only one of the easterly ones had some stones on it to imply summit status. | vegibagger | 19/06/2019 |
From the quarry. I'm not convinced by the GR and visited all likely contenders for the top. | Chris Peart | 16/06/2019 |
Much appreciation for the drop off at North Roe with richtea to enable this fine linear walk back over the hill tops south. | Alex C | 12/06/2019 |
From the n. Parked at HU 35471 81038.. Plentyof peat near the top. | Campbell Singer | 09/06/2019 |

From SSW - parking by B9079. | ger | 08/06/2019 |
Easy full traverse NNE to SSW on hard frosted ground in glorious sun, after Ollaberry. | Tony S | 31/01/2019 |
With Jon Glew, from the quarry. Sheep tracks gave easy firm going all the way, often on good firm ground ground below the peat hags. There seem to be 3 summits, but the eastern summits are not as high as the western summit. Not an outstanding hill, but surprisingly good despite its appearance. | Gill | 25/08/2018 |
Up through the quarry from the B9079 (HU 3400 7870). Took a direct line over dry(ish) peat hags. Checked out some other high ground ESE of the GR, but seemed probably lower by a small amount. | jonglew | 25/08/2018 |
7th Day of Watershed Walk | Neil Fraser | 02/07/2018 |
As nordicstar but thought there could be three summits. | Eddie | 10/03/2017 |
peat hag, boggy, also do hill of ollaberry trig S9546, near wind turbines | Denise | 25/04/2016 |
Spent much of the morning between the summits in intermittent mist practising my GPS navigation skills, then came off the hill the wrong way. | Topographer57 | 31/05/2013 |
Elliptic from near Eela Water - pleasant spot for a protracted afternoon doze. | Smudge | 30/05/2013 |
RHW | 29/05/2013 | |
From track end at GR334795. Cut up sheep pasture to gain open fell easily and quick heather skip to top. Two possible tops visited, small cairn and hag top to NE. Appeared same height. Back same way in 40 mins. | nordicstar | 28/05/2013 |
A quick yomp after bagging the trig across the road with Tricky Speirs. | Dugswell2 | 26/05/2013 |
from nr Eala | Thearlaichdubh | 05/05/2013 |
