Same as Fasgadh, quite straightforward now that the trees have goneColin Crawford02/01/2024
Road in active - so parked at the substation road end. Forest road is longer than mapped, left bike at highpoint and walked up extraction lane across clearfell to the summit which is currently out in the open. On to the horror that is Divot.fasgadh01/03/2023
Parked in entrance to forest (NX 6906 8397) - plan A was to drive the forest roads, but gate locked so plan B in action. Along the road and up onto Stroan Hill -> Divot Hill -> Lawglass -> Margree (trig pillar) -> Hog Hill. After Hog Hill left forest road at NX 6729 8637 and rejoined it at NX 6780 8627. Followed it to where logging operations are in play (NX 6828 8462), then breaks and edge of forest. On to Knockman Hill for a 21km round.jonglew28/02/2021
