Up from Dykercrofts cottage on forest roads | Andrew Simmons | 12/08/2021 |
From car park at end of public road (got moved on parking at Dykecrofts Cottage), up through woods on a trail, picked up forest road (at NY 5075 8796) and headed NE for ~900m. Then through the plantation to end of the mapped road near Stell Knowe. From there directly to the hill top. The conifers are not mature and it proved awkward to push through as no gloves or hooded jacket with me. On return followed the break NE for precisely 500m then a relatively easy cut through NW to pick up the outward bound forest road. Likely would've been easier (but 2km longer) walking back to the cottage and going from there. | jonglew | 03/04/2021 |
To drive in or not? Padlock hanging off steel gate so parked and walked. Excellent and driveable forest road, got back and gate still open...could have driven up. | Adrian | 28/01/2020 |
From road at Dykecrofts, though I could have driven a fair way up the forest roads. Very easy apart from the final struggle across deep tussocks to the firebreak. Last viable Tump in the Borders | Colin Crawford | 30/07/2019 |
As Aye Jimmy but parked just past cattle grid. | chrisbien | 28/04/2019 |
Minor road from Newcastleton to top of MTB trails, then forest track, L at 'Geordies' then L again past what may have been a picnic spot, now a rubbish tip. Parked 750m from hill, could have driven to end of track. Rough brash, tussocks for 200m then to firebreak that passes over top of hill. Boulder on S side of firebreak or heather by small tree 30m NE. Tentative look in spruce either side, nothing higher noted. | Aye Jimmy | 30/09/2016 |
