Revisit on way back to Baddinsgill from Mealowther. | agentmancuso | 11/05/2023 |
A clockwise high-level walk around the West Water Reservoir from West Linton golf course. First along the road around & through the course to the green keeper sheds and on past some new fancy holiday cottages to an estate shed, where a grass path leads up to a horse field NE of Mendick Hill. A continued climb over pathless ground eventually leads to a walkers path on to the summit. Animal and ATV tracks NW to North Muir Hill and then N over featureless ground to the wide track to Catstone. Grass path to Craigengar then heather-hopping over to Mealowther. More rough stuff ESE to eventually find a fence line up Byrehope Mount and King Seat. Straight down to the reservoir and the road back to the clubhouse. 5.15hrs. | summitter | 30/01/2023 |
From West Linton golf club. North Muir first then this hill and now onto King`s Seat | Andrew Simmons | 22/07/2022 |
From North Muir, ascent on excellent track. Curlews. HP obvious but not at nearby cairn. Continue on track N to Fadden and over heather to Craigengar.Sunny but windy and remote feeling. | Denise | 18/06/2022 |

Part of a round including Mealowther, Craigengar, Catstone, North Muir, Bleak Law, Darlees Rig and Henshaw Hill. Tough 7 hour day! | curlebd | 08/07/2020 |
By bike from West Linton Golf Club: an hour up, half an hour back. There aren't many Tumps that have as good a bike descent from the top. | Pete R | 02/01/2019 |
From W Linton golf course via North Muir. Comedy staggering down through deep moss to track junc then easy. | agentmancuso | 17/11/2018 |
Parked at 'lay-by' just before entrance to West Linton Golf Club. Followed surfaced road past golf course until it turned sharply north then followed rocky track further west then turned north off this track onto grassy track to summit. Grey, dull, windy, drizzle. Off to North Muir Hill | Jubilado | 13/09/2018 |
Sixth of a headless flawed round with not enough planning and left too late, without a rucksack so no head torch. Suns already set and I'm about 7km from my car. Will have to abandon final two semi planned hills. Idiot..! | vegibagger | 03/07/2018 |
After N Muir Hill. Just a plod in drizzle once reached landrover track. On to Craigengar. | Thearlaichdubh | 05/09/2017 |
With Peter. P by WLGC house. Track to Catstone, over Fadden to Craigengar and then Mealowther and back the same way. | chrisbien | 04/01/2015 |
Year is probably correct. Month might be correct (certainly winter with snow on the ground).
