From Bennan came down the wide ditch to W of summit running SW/NE to awkward fence/wall combo then some roughish ground, working gradually clockwise round skirting trees completely. This proved to be a much better approach than trying to find the invisible more direct track - a hideous mix of thistles,ferns & new plantings as I found on the way back. | agentmancuso | 09/07/2020 |
bennan hill and cawin hill parking in layby opp new track 200m south of craigfad. | robertphillips | 07/03/2018 |
After my 7 hill car tour visiting Craigie Hill (again) Sornhill, Mauchline, Tarbeg, Raith hill, Craigs of Kyle and Lindston hill i refuelled with soup and coffee at the Hollybush Inn and then drove to Craigfad near Balbeg holidays. Up pasture into woods and into pleasant open hillside but....as others have indicated, dense new forest plantings block your way. It was rough and was crawling through at times. Summit is a pleasant grassy knoll and descent via perspective offered from the summit was easier. The walk up towards Bennan was a lot easier! | Dazingdale | 07/05/2017 |
I didn't find any track up to Cawin, just some seriously unpleasant stuff between the hills. And the new plantings are a pain. Occasional waymarking posts on the way down but little hint of a path | Colin Crawford | 28/12/2016 |
From Craigfad. Track through wood to Long Craig and onto summit of Bennan. Down to and across wall and track to top of Cawin. Complex topography. | chrisbien | 11/04/2016 |
