| Bus from Glasgow stops close to Cumbernauld hill. I also stood on the crescent.. A walk down the hill and into Seafar wood wildlife reserve and footbridge over the motorway to Airdriehead hill and a visit to the Arria statue. | Buck | 11/04/2024 |

| Walked from Airdriehead Hill mostly thro woodland and on cycle path Number One. Pleasant walk apart from Motorway traffic noise. | bjewing | 02/02/2021 |
| Satisfying walk from Tesco CP armed with pages torn out from A-Z to trig, back to Airdriehill HP, down to red bridge over M80 and up to Cumbernauld Hill's former HP at Blake Rd. Continued along ridge visiting all possible contenders. Being a damp foggy Sunday during lockdown felt safe to climb crescent feature. Returned to bridge and on to Tescos without any road walking at all. | lordtonult | 10/01/2021 |
| Simple walk from town centre just outside entrance to St Mungo's Parish Church. | thegecko | 30/12/2020 |

| Might have been a nice hill if they hadn't built Cumbernauld! | hillsman | 28/06/2017 |
| Watershed bagging | jimbloomer | 11/05/2017 |
| 64th birthday treat from Cumbernauld train station. Then on to much nicer Airdriehead hill. Better to arrive by bus as the stop is 100m from summit. | Thearlaichdubh | 22/02/2017 |
| Park in Home Bargains then a stroll to the summit to claim the Pap of Cumbernauld overlooked by the Paps Nightclub. | Dugswell2 | 11/10/2016 |
| A very short walk from the office. Today, I rested on the ornamental crescent rather than merely walking by. | Nick Down1 | 21/07/2016 |
| Did car park, shopping centre and into the copse. When running over the half crescent one of the local ruffians shouted out ' you are f**king mad'' | Adrian | 19/06/2016 |
| On the way to meet pals at the Cumbernauld Weatherspoons. Climbed onto Minto's cobbled crescent moon. Easy when dry. A mini arête. Wandered around nearby woods trying to establish highest point. I'll settle for the cobbled crescent moon. | russell61 | 07/06/2016 |
| Early morning, high point on cobbled area. | robertphillips | 15/12/2015 |
| Level area just E of St Mungo's Church (intersected trig station). Nice granite setts feature, natural HP could be in adjacent copse; car park about same height. Late pm Sat plenty parking | RHW | 12/12/2015 |
| Yes, no problem. May have been here on the bus. | Play2End | 11/07/2015 |
| Blue skies in EK, thick fog in Cumbernauld. Weird, but it made the ascent a little more exciting. Could barely see the church. | agentmancuso | 29/12/2014 |
| Good walk round the streets, I prefer the trees behind the British Legion, but the church/trees would do. Apologies if the photo is not correct. | iangalbraith | 19/12/2014 |
| Date is a mere formality, as a local I often pass this way, though not to the adjacent Fryery chip shop. | neimcv | 26/11/2014 |
| Either Minto's slippy climb or the trees NE across the car park. | chrisbien | 21/12/2013 |
| Who knows where the highest point of this hill once was. I settled for the cobbled 3D crescent moon; it's ascent was quite tricky in the dark and drizzle. Slippery when wet. Nearby buildings are at least 20m higher! | Minto | 24/09/2013 |
| Town centre location makes it candidate for most urban tump. | campagvelocet | 14/11/2011 |
