First of six tops from Stinchar Bridge car park to the north.

Eleven mile taking Seven hours with 3340ft of ascent. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 10/07/2022 |
Circuit from c0.5m S of Stinchar Bridge. Took rough path to Caerloch Dhu [Shalloch on Minnoch North Top], continued to Craigmasheenie and Shiel Hill. Descended W to N end of Cornish Loch, crossed outflow and took path back almost all the way top the start. Some rain and poor visibility, but some clearance over the lower tops. | RobertP | 22/05/2022 |
A wild and lonely place. Lovely top and now down to Loch Cornish (hard). | Play2End | 18/03/2022 |
Stinchar Bridge to Pedens Hut path then rough to ridge where picked up path to Shiell Hill. Easier to Craigmasheenie than expected (excellent hill) then over to pick up Donald Top and down Caerloch Dhu on good path to road and car park. | SS | 02/05/2021 |

Back same way to car. (S) | gerrybowes | 08/09/2020 |
19 mile, 10 hour walk on the Awful Hand range. I started with part of the Cornish Hill circuit before turning for the hills and climbing to the summit of Shalloch on Minnoch (775m), Tarfessock (694m) and Kirriereoch (786m). Then the fun really began as I dropped down across tough cross country to Tunskeen Bothy and then similar climbing back to Girvan Eye, and then onto Craigmasheenie (539m) and Shiel Hill (507m) before dropping back to the Cornish Hill circuit and completing it. I was very lucky with the weather, the cloud lifted off the summits as forecast, producing some lovely clear views and I even got a few hours of sun whilst on the Hand range. | meltdiceburg | 19/08/2020 |
9th hill of 12 today on an epic day from Loch Doon Castle, climbing Wee Hill of Craigmulloch, Craiglee, Waterhead (current & previous) then re-traced route back to car looking for car keys! A couple had found them and dropped thrm back in the car so continued on ny return route climbing Craigmawhannal North top, Craigmawhannal, Craigfionn and Maccallum dropping onto a forst track heading Sw then West, N profiling around Loch Slochy. I paid the Rocking stone a visit before heading up steeply scrambling in places to the rocky outcrop then down steeply to wide grassy gully and up the other side to the true summit. Great wild rocky hill! Onwards to Shiel Hill via rough terrain. | Dazingdale | 08/05/2017 |
