Buddha still there, slowly contemplating the meaning of, 
hillbagging? | colazione | 16/07/2023 |
Up to the buddha trig from the lay-by. | sclater | 15/03/2023 |
Handy roadside layby to the ESE. | jonglew | 04/03/2023 |
As others from the layby | Andrew Simmons | 01/09/2022 |
Parked in layby, along soggy path and then up the hill to Buddha's trig. Landfill higher but too manmade in its current state. | JAdair97 | 12/02/2022 |
5th of 8 in sunny drought conditions. Usual route from A706. Stone buddha found sitting on trig looking out to landfill site. | lordtonult | 30/06/2021 |
From layby | curlebd | 08/02/2020 |
From layby as others. Fine viewpoint. | hillsman | 03/12/2018 |
Do landfill sites count? Surely, their man-madeness rules them out? | summitter | 04/11/2018 |
From layby to E after end of trees. As landfill site is clearly higher I climbed the awkward fence despite people working and dashed to the highpoint of the landfill. Anticlimactic final W Lothian TuMP. | Thearlaichdubh | 14/07/2018 |
Parked in lay-by on A706. Through the nice shiny gate into the wind farm and followed the fairly well-made stony path scarily close to the wind turbine to the junction. From there a crisp, cold day made a direct approach to the summit a dry, comfortable walk. | Jubilado | 30/11/2017 |
From lay-by on A2016 to trig | neimcv | 29/11/2017 |
Nice view of the Queensferry Crossing fron the top. | Steve511 | 17/06/2017 |
A706 to trig then hp of tip. | robertphillips | 08/02/2017 |
The Levenseat tip appears to close at 1300 on Saturdays(and all day Sunday). I parked by the main gate on a Saturday afternoon and saw no-one as I walked up the tarmac road to the end of the trees, then up to the trig. The tip is clearly higher than the trig, but appears to be about 20 years away from passing the <looks like a hill> test. A moderate fence separates the trig from the tip. | Pete R | 19/12/2015 |
A706/B7056 junction-Blackhill-Hendry's Corse-Leven Seat-Forth. The boggy track can be avoided by taking the landfill site track until it emerges from the trees. | campagvelocet | 15/07/2015 |
Used the boggy track from the A706 to bag the summit and trig point which now appears lower than Leven Seat landfill site. Thankfully no nasty smells today. | Dugswell2 | 12/07/2015 |
From A706. Take wellies for the first 10m (puddles and bog!) Thereafter good track and easy walking. Top of rubbish tip is now higher than the trig. Someday the summit will be relocated, but not for a long while yet. West Lothian County completion. | Minto | 09/07/2015 |
Land-fill now over-tops trig. | chalky1953 | 27/03/2015 |
Track from A 706. Then diagonally up. Start of track under deep water. | chrisbien | 21/10/2013 |
Trig visit. | ARM | 12/06/2009 |
No smell tonight - wind coming from the East fortunately. Decent view to Tinto. | agentmancuso | 21/05/2008 |
