Parked opposite track end just south of Eildon Mains. Followed track up through woods west then north to signpost to open hillside. Up the easily discerned path to the summit. Had intended to complete all 3 tops but gale force winds almost had us off our feet so decided to call it a day. Off the top down into the saddle and back through to trees to car. | Jubilado | 18/02/2019 |

A very good walk from the fishing lake, which allows a circuit of all 3 hills without having to use the same path twice, except for a short section above the lake. The vehicle track is very muddy because of logging, but the path up the field beyond is fine. Over Mid Hill, on to North hill, and back around the side of Mid hill to Wester Hill. I elected for the bog trot north of the lake, to avoid the muddy track, but not much in it really. | Gill | 08/02/2018 |
Dreich! | thekirkie pirate | 10/01/2018 |
