| 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 |
| Good view of other Eildons | thekirkie pirate | 10/01/2018 |
