Parked at nearby hospital cp and followed core path to Craigs Rd. Followed this R to Craigs Farm where we entered field to top of hill. Back to road where it turns R to Glencaple Rd where another R turn to the track off to Camp Hill then back to the road to the hospital cp | Wayne Mac | 25/09/2022 |
Parked in Georgetown housing estate ( Wolfgill Road) to N and walked S through alley to side road. Followed field boundary SE from Craigs Farm (we decided not possible to park there) over sheep pasture to domed summit, unmarked. Good views of Skiddaw. The rocky edge is more impressive from the road below- invisible from summit. We scrambled down the red sandstone cliff-with interbedded brecia- for a better look. | Denise | 21/04/2022 |
A 10km walk across Dumfries from brother's house with an hour's halt half way at the dentist. Continued up here with the left side of my head slowly throbbing back into life. A rare of late wave of sunshine made for a pleasant mini adventure - although not quite on the gripping scale of Free Solo or The Rescue (Thailand Cave football boys) which I watched last night. Excitement rose however inspecting the conglomerate cliff with its unsorted angular pebbles hinting of a rapid flash flood in a desert here during the Permian era. Such things are noted around Dumfries as are desert sand dunes (cross section of one in the quarries across the road). Many of the fine old buildings in Dumfries are built from this desert sandstone. | Chris Pearson | 27/01/2022 |
5 of 5 on 28 mile bike ride starting at the car park on broom road in Dumfries. Another nice hill jumped over fence and followed fence line upto summit | The-Z-Man | 01/08/2021 |
Up from near gate at craigs farm. | robertphillips | 23/04/2021 |
Parked on road by Craigs Farm (NX 9927 7466). Took first field gate, sheep pasture. Contimued on over hill regaining the road at NX 9965 7422 for a small circular, but also to pick up a few benchmarks. The craig looks quite impressive from the road, not so from up on it. | jonglew | 21/10/2020 |
