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. | Lynnebe | 15/09/2023 |

Areas of windblow across southern E<->W path/track. Quite easy to pass on slope to south of this path though, and summit okay. | Tricky | 13/01/2023 |
Parked just above Kynballoch. Through forest to wooded summit. Then continued east , crossed between ponds and turned SW to Broad Moss. | Adrian | 10/06/2022 |
From just N of Kynballoch along the track that leads to the summit, avoiding much fresh windblow after Storm Arwen. | sclater | 01/12/2021 |
Horrible fly tipping problem at two of the entrances to Drimmie Wood. High point easily found but take your pick of tree stumps. | NormanW | 07/03/2021 |
Mix of tracks and paths from Broad Moss. Great name for wee forest to south -'Glour oer him Wood'. | daviemore | 14/05/2020 |
parked at gate, along field edge to pick up the southern track to near the top. | robertphillips | 06/09/2019 |
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. | Minto | 01/01/2019 |
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. | RHW | 01/01/2019 |

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. | Topographer57 | 11/01/2018 |
As Alda. Wooden fence now overtopped by broom thicket | Colin Crawford | 03/11/2017 |
From W P at gate by S end of wood. Path through wood develops into track after the firebreak. | chrisbien | 28/08/2016 |
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). | alda | 14/01/2016 |
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 M | 19/06/2015 |
