Followed the Robert Phillips route to bag 6 Tumps | Andrew Simmons | 08/11/2023 |
Think this was the Robert Phillips round, 6 hills, parking in a dirt layby immediately E of the Tererran Bridge (NX 7538 9228). Walked NW on road to turn off at NX 7465 9278 making use of farm tracks to the cairn, then over sheep pastures; wall to be negotiated near the top. On to Tererran Hill -> Margmony Hill -> Stenhouse Hill -> Craigdarroch Hill -> Shillingland Hill. | jonglew | 04/03/2021 |

Marwhirn had a solid vehicle bridge so repairs must have been made. Wet track up to cairn then rough pasture to summit, north of wall | Colin Crawford | 19/12/2018 |
Dave Geere | 21/02/2018 | |
Bridge at Marwhirn largly washed away just crossable with care. Dropped off at the west end of this group of 6 tumps on way to Shancastle Doon to the east. Heavy snow showers all day. | cjo | 30/01/2016 |
