Second visit to the pair of bings, from the canal. Trail riders out in forceColin Crawford04/03/2023
From Corecut, as others, good verge parking (NT 0825 7383). Multiple tracks lead up to the main top and across to here. Returned at lower level following well established tracks to emerge on road at Greendykes (NT 0811 7326).jonglew08/02/2023

From the main top to the stagnant water and then up the fairly steep path to the summit. Circumnavigated the main hill from the south and then skirted the farmer's field back to the main road and my car at corecut.JAdair9719/05/2022

From the Corecut depot entrance on the B8020, over the main top, then a steep descent and re-ascent to this one. Returned the same way.NormanW15/10/2020
South top and the main bing from industrial estate over the canal bridge. A really enjoyable wee trip up these steep hills and great viewpoints. Could these be the best bings in Scotland?sclater12/09/2020

A walk along the canal then over the bridge to follow a muddy track westward. At a junction followed this path to the right and after a short sharp climb turned east. At a fairly open area followed a shallow 'valley' eastward to the summit. Good view of Forth Bridges and white hills in Fife.Jubilado25/11/2017
After main top. Pleasant traverse revealing a lovely little lochan and excellent red exposed rocks. Back down to canal and then bus from Broxburn back to Edinburgh. Best bing in W Lothian.Thearlaichdubh07/11/2017

The hill was enlivened by the Sunday afternoon trials bikers. I chatted to one, who pointed out the slope where he fractured his skull five months ago...Pete R20/12/2015
From S, Minto route. Parked Clifton View, straight towards bing, over bridge then straight up nice little spur, firm shale and a few scrambly bits, grassy summit. W doen easy valley thrn ran down scree gully. Great little hill.RHW12/12/2015
From B8082 along road to Industrial Estate after a wander about found the hidden valley and used it up and down. First walk since tearing a thigh musclechrisbien15/08/2015
Reclaiming my county completion for West Lothian. Directly up from the canal bridge, quite a fun route.Colin Crawford25/07/2015
From the NW corner of the industrial estate to the south, lots of parking. Across open ground to bridge over canal. I went straight up (like you do) lung-bursting thigh-tearingly steep. Easier way would be to continue to left (west) working your way round and up, to ascend a long 'hidden valley' which emerges on the plateau very near the summit. This is also a good way down! Very flat summit area.Minto30/06/2015
