Parked at the Castle Semple Visitor Centre and followed the Semple trail. A beautiful day to take in Kenmure hill and the delights of the trail. A trip up to Broadfield hill from Howwood, following particularly muddy tracks, before taking the trail back to the car. | Buck | 07/02/2024 |
Parked in Hill Road, Howwood and took the paths through Skiff Wood. These get muddier the higher you climb but eventually lead to a grassy path to the summit. | summitter | 28/11/2023 |

Walk from home. | Grinner | 20/06/2020 |
Parked in Hill Road, Howwood, and followed the good path up past the viewpoint. Took a grassy vehicle track a short distance after the view point, up to a gate into the Skiff Wood track. Came out of the wood at the SW point, and across grass and short heather to the summit. A good path comes into the Trig Point from the north, so we could perhaps have continued on the forest track for longer, but unsure so we went back as we'd come. | LizH | 16/06/2020 |

I took the same route as Fasgadh starting from Howwood train station which wasn't shown on my map. 
Quite a nice little escarpment to the trig. An imposing hill The hill fort to the SE is also worth a detour | Thearlaichdubh | 10/01/2017 |
Easy ascent of a pleasant hill through Skiff Wood. The ongoing yellow road on the maps from the sharp bend is now gated off. Go up the old tarred road to the edge of wood and then follow woodland paths to avoid the mud. | fasgadh | 02/01/2017 |
Track then path to the trig through woods. | robertphillips | 29/05/2015 |
P at sharp bend - end of public road. Muddy track then path in open (some trees) to trig. Foggy until near top. Nice hill. Down to road at 125m to miss out most of the mud. | chrisbien | 26/12/2014 |
From road to the south via the hill fort. | ARM | 22/05/2009 |
