Heading home, decided to bag this. Easy bag, just follow the numerous sign posts to Corse hill from NS 638468 car park 8 to 10 spaces. There's a very short grassy climb to the trig from turbine 104 (I think). About 1hr45min on foot. Probably best to MTB it for under 1hr. | Jhimmy | 29/08/2022 |
From parking area to E. at 638468, along Spine Road to fingerpost & then a short climb NE up track to trig point. Returned along Spine Road to 610466 & then along northern route (Cleughearn Road) back to car; this passes through more areas of open ground & adds interest. | gerrybowes | 10/08/2022 |

This access road from eaglesham to carrot , where the public road ends, is now a Clearway . Meaning ther is no legal place to park a car. I asked a local where to tuck car in, as i didnt want to tick any one orfff. He said the clearway restrictions came into place after , and as a consequence of , people blocking the road. Residents could not get in out of their homes. 
That leagl restriction would have come into play 2021? 2022? After Covid ‘19 ( March 2020). 
So……ticked car in. With a note on dash board. You will take a left, across previously walked grass in a field. This worn pathway will take you across a stream on a bridge, through a padlocked gate and upwards towards FLS land. There are now signs….interpretation board. Follow wide tracks. There are plenty of FLS finger sijgns including one for this hill. Enjoy. | VerySlowPlodder | 06/05/2022 |
From the small Whitelee East car park, north of Ardochrig. A busy spot for local dog walkers. Pleasant enough walk along the Spine Road on signposted route. Back on track further north. Solo walk on Good Friday. | Dangerous Dave | 15/04/2022 |

From Whitelee East CP (or just below as all of East KIlbride were dog walking). Out Spine Road but back on a more southerly track. Dank but a pleasant enough stretch of the legs. | SS | 22/01/2022 |

Revisit, this time from the east avoiding, as far as possible, the main spine road. | lordtonult | 24/10/2021 |
Down the NW road to Carrot and along the windfarm track for a mile ignoring the 'No unauthorised vehicles' no entry signs. After blocked gate...Good wide road /tracks to the summit. 215 windmills on this overall windfarm. | vegibagger | 21/10/2021 |

1 of 3: From Ardochrig CP at 9.55am after a long drive south. Sun starting to burn through at the start of a hot day. With Karen. | ChrisR | 21/07/2021 |
With Bob from the east. Good views,warm and windy. | Play2End | 18/07/2021 |
From Carrot, where parking seems to be more contentious following Covid. No parking on the road and only a couple of spaces off the road. Perplexed that the mapped track goes through a garden and has been blocked; instead you start about 100m N of Carrot Farm where a path goes across a field, then down to the bridge E of the house. Easy after that, lots of signposts. Muddy track up to log stacks then wind farm road to top. | Gill | 13/05/2021 |
Parked just before Ardochrig car-park and the new double yellow lines as car park was full. Followed the well-signed wind farm access roads. Great views north to Glasgow and Ben Lomond, west to Arran, could make out Ailsa Craig through the turbines. | Buck | 02/05/2021 |

On the bike from the Ardochrig road after having parked on the edge of the access point for the wind turbine near the Logoch turnoff. Did a nice loop of the hill, got rewarded with spectacular views all around on this sunny day. | Gebirgsjaeger | 02/10/2020 |
