From a new, unmapped, forestry road (NT 7679 1972), parking ok in wide entrance. Track meets up with the mapped one that winds its way up to near the summit. | jonglew | 21/01/2023 |
From Morebattle by bike. Walked up the new forest road and then a pleasant grassy path to the summit. Very fine ramparts. | fasgadh | 25/11/2022 |
From Chatto Craig. Nice hill fort. | Adrian | 22/08/2022 |
Used the forestry track from the NE which makes for a quick bag | Andrew Simmons | 27/02/2021 |
As others, used large foresters' track then eventually an old grassy one which branched off. Descended more directly, steep and brackeny. | Aye Jimmy | 17/10/2018 |
P to NE, forest road till near high point then older grass track to near the top. | agentmancuso | 11/04/2018 |
From NE, good parking at forest entrance. HP on hillfort earthworks | RHW | 24/02/2018 |
Newly bulldozed track from NT768197 curves round hill and takes the sting out of the ascent. Parking at bottom | Colin Crawford | 15/03/2017 |
Staying in a holiday cottage at Hownam, up and down from near Point 177. Didn't quite make the highest point due to overly friendly cows. | Jake994 | 12/08/2012 |
