Straight forward walk up the track all the way to the trig. Some interesting WWII leftovers at top too. Lots of sheep, so we kept Charlie on the lead.	thejackrustles	23/09/2016
From the loch side lay-by up the track to the abandoned station. What a miserable place to be posted to.	Play2End	20/08/2014

Walked up track to bag the trig and check out the summit area with Jim Bloomer and Tricky Speirs.	Dugswell2	31/05/2014
From HY 309 293	summitsup	30/05/2012
Obvious start at HY309293, obvious track, summit not quite so obvious. There is a lumpy mound near the trig which is higher, but is it natural? Scruffy top with good view of Rousay/Westray.	Martin R	18/05/2012
Trig revisit. Fine evening view over Loch of Swannay and Eynhallow Sound	RHW	28/05/2010
