| Bardennoch Hill & Gairy Craig from layby S of Bardennoch. Bardennoch Hill fine, but trying to get a route to Gairy was tough. Tried to get to Braidenoch to use the track, but a huge area is fenced off by a barbed & electric deer fence?! When finally reaching the forest track there's a reasonable ride to the summit of Gairy. | Tisteln | 14/03/2024 |
| From roadside layby (NX 5796 9145). Deer gate locked so up and over. Bardennoch Hill first then across to here by a tortuous route once the conifers were reached. Mapped breaks I took (starting NX 5594 9100) no longer exist so a battle all the way up. The return was much better using a wide break running SE from the top for 800m then another good break running NE to meet an excellent road at NX 5587 9077. Turned right on this following round to Braidenoch. Then kept SE of Braidenoch Hill and back. NB Best to avoid Braidenoch, it's an occupied residence... and neither the dogs or people are friendly! | jonglew | 24/04/2021 |
