A sunday drive in on forestry roads, 5 of 7 visited both tops and boulder. | robertphillips | 29/01/2023 |
Returning to car after Craigwhinnie. Left track at NX 5644 6893 looking for a mapped break which doesn't really exists. Took near enough a direct line to the spot height. Unsure by eye if the other 360m contours are higher or not. Plantings are sparse but ground is rough. Returned by direct line to car (parked at NX 5669 6905) over rough clear fell / new plantings. | jonglew | 21/02/2021 |
Both tops and boulder. | Dave Geere | 25/10/2018 |
5th and final hill of the day on a Mountain bike ride from Gatehouse of Fleet, climbing Craiglowrie, Fell of Fleet, Shaw Hill and Craigwhinnie, descending back to the track and bike but then realising that it was a fairly short distance over to the top so i ventured out again over the brash to first reach an indistinct top with scattered spruce. After circling around i headed over to the nicer more compact top then back to the bike carrying it back over the fallen tree and down to the Viaduct, after that i realised i had a puncture. NO signal meant having to cycle back the 7miles to Gatehouse of Fleet with it. | Dazingdale | 12/10/2018 |
