There is now a good path through the last bit of summit gorse, starting 15m NE of the trig. | Matt | 29/09/2023 |
Parked near the high point to the east of the hill. | iangalbraith | 10/09/2023 |
Heavy boiler suit, rubber boots and welding gloves meant I bagged the trig with only one scratch from the whins! | David Bremner | 23/07/2023 |
through the gorse maze | BLACKHILL | 25/10/2022 |
Good parking NH 9630 4927. Followed mapped track - at best a deer trod thru' tussocks to summit area. Huge gorse - via a grassy strip to NW of trig (NH 95584 49475) in an easterly direction. From which I cut a path thru' from NH 95592 49471 southwards to trig | carole engel | 11/06/2022 |
Got this hill climbed first thing in the morning before a promised and delivered deluge. Like others, I found the final few metres to be a nightmare. At the road, the start of the old track has been dug out and partly filled with bottoming. This only runs for less then 100 metres so I don't know which way it is planned to go eventually. | Kiltie | 31/10/2021 |
As per jenx. Choice of two forestry track ends for parking by road to south-east. Followed vague paths to high point and then winding route through gorse to trig. Used clippers to remove a few gorse from upper gorse jungle! | willyross | 17/01/2020 |
From parking to SE. Gap in fence leads to old track line which helpfully goes most of way, though pretty indistinct. Managed to find trig in gorse eventually. With B and R. | jenx | 26/10/2019 |

Way in from north through the gorse is a bit maze like currently but once found not too painful. | Dave McG | 16/03/2018 |
Parked to SE & squelched up to summit area using an initially vague track. On reaching the top, I nearly convinced myself that trig had gone but after 30 painful minutes, a final foray into the gorse from around the N edge revealed both the ancient cairn & miscreant trig. Although a way in has been sculpted by keen triggers, it could do with a fresh prune. | Smudge | 23/12/2017 |
I think the Bar in Lethen Bar stands for barred by gorse. Even when I could see the trig from a couple of metres away it was still difficult to get to as the gorse is so thick now. No views either. | Peterb | 25/10/2017 |
What 🗻 mountaineering is all about. Of gorse, it is. | Martin R | 22/03/2016 |
Wet soggy slog across boggy heather and close growing trees. Only tackled it to get the trig. | BigJ | 28/09/2014 |
visited when visiting the trig | Nozzer | 17/06/2014 |
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
 
Parked and found man path up to this, last 100m hard going through gorse of which we cleared a fair amount and the trig is now visible with a path from a northish direction, no view at trig due to tree cover. | thejackrustles | 04/05/2014 |
Ascended from the high point on the road to the east. A rough hill, but there are paths and the summit is fairly obvious, though covered with gorse. | JohnW | 20/04/2013 |
Bog, deep heather, dense pine, gorse summit - this one has the lot. No view. from track/roadd jct to NE, parking at jct | RHW | 11/04/2006 |
