Logged Descriptions (logged by 20 users)	By	Date of Ascent
Walked along the road then up the track. I couldn't see anything today apart from the trigpoint pillar and the building.	Alancache	06/08/2019
Parking not possible at the track entrance so parked up next to a Swannay Farm sign in a lay-by at the north end of the loch.	summitter	25/07/2019
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
Up track mound nr trig	chrisbien	02/06/2014
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
