| 11.15.Trig S7185 Cornhill. This has to go down as my most difficult hill summit & Trig to get to that took me most grief and time. Approaching on the rough track from the North made the mistake of going up a field on the left before the house on the assumption that i would find a gate through to the upper part of the hill and I went left and I ended up in totally circumnavigating clockwise the entire top of hill with all wall backed by thick gorse on my right but no gates at all, right back right next to field I started at... up the field to entrance from the north the ONLY access point behind the white bungalow cottage. Then came the mega headache, gorse. Last loggers were 2018 and said gorse wasn't a problem and access through to trig was fine. Not five years down the road in 2023. No way without mega amount of secateur work, which I set about doing with my trusty robust Wilkinson Sword Secateurs. I've long valued paying more for these. They are excellent and came in an £11 duo wit | vegibagger | 25/06/2023 |
| From Cornhill along track. Little or no parking on the track. | govanah | 04/05/2023 |
| 3 of 4: After Little Mulderie we drove to Cornhill and parked in the village CP by the playing fields. We walked up the deeply rutted track signed Highlandman's Croft. At it's end we turned left through a gate and wound left round the lower gorse. The gorse round the trigpoint is currently high and dense. Waterproofs enabled a forced ascent to a small clearing at the trig point. A line of weakness made an easier retreat possible. With Karen. | ChrisR | 13/01/2023 |

| Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: Having read Clochandighter's log and others I was put of finding this trig. However it sat there on the map bugging me as it was my closest remaining Aberdeenshire trig. Today out with Mr U2 it was the day to finally tackle it. Drove up farm track at NJ 58518 57902 towards 'Old Cornhill' farm. Decided the abandoned farm house at NJ 57944 56838 was about as far as it was sensible to drive then followed the track up to Old Cornhill farm, over gate (NJ 57656 56465 - don't catch yourself on the pieces of exposed metal!) and then followed a line up towards the trig and picked a line through the gorse to the trig itself. Not too bad at all. Mr U2 already feeling he was mis-sold as the trig was not a poke stop! Hill summit from hill bagging on GPSr showed summit as downhill from the trigpoint in the gorse. | thejackrustles | 25/08/2018 |
