Parked at Kynballoch, along track to summit which involved climbing wooden access fence through Broom then walked trail round windfall to Kynballoch summit. Continued E & over stile in fence. Between Glendams, climbed low fence to S & followed track SW to S end of woodland strip. Gate here into trig field & Broad Moss summit. Out via gate at NW field corner & gates W then SW to Low Bonnington Woods. Back onto road just N of .179 & up quiet road to car.Lynnebe15/09/2023

Areas of windblow across southern E<->W path/track. Quite easy to pass on slope to south of this path though, and summit okay.Tricky13/01/2023
Parked just above Kynballoch. Through forest to wooded summit. Then continued east , crossed between ponds and turned SW to Broad Moss.Adrian10/06/2022
From just N of Kynballoch along the track that leads to the summit, avoiding much fresh windblow after Storm Arwen.sclater01/12/2021
Horrible fly tipping problem at two of the entrances to Drimmie Wood. High point easily found but take your pick of tree stumps.NormanW07/03/2021
Mix of tracks and paths from Broad Moss. Great name for wee forest to south -'Glour oer him Wood'.daviemore14/05/2020
parked at gate, along field edge to pick up the southern track to near the top.robertphillips06/09/2019
Parked on road to west, at start of northern track. Followed this track across ride, to NW of summit. Then XC to S track, and summit. Returned along the S track to field edge, where path leads back to the ride, or continues to the road, at field edge, where there is more parking.Minto01/01/2019
From W, little circuit on good paths, keeping out of the wind! Bonus Rivet BM at gateway. Last of 8 New Years Tumps with Minto.RHW01/01/2019

From due west, starting at gate at west corner of mature forest. Parking OK. Walk along forest edge for a short distance, stay in wood to avoid possible cattle issues. Then easy track to within 20 metres of summit.Topographer5711/01/2018

Parked by gate at NO18584881, SE along edge of field then over easy wooden fence to pick up good path east to summit (not north along the tempting firebreak).alda14/01/2016
Parked at NO187490. Track, path in firebreak, then track to N side of hilltop. Easy to walk around summit area as forest has been thinned there.Lindsay M19/06/2015
