Round of six Donalds from Glen Afton - Blackcraig, Blacklorg, Meikledodd, Alwhat, Alhang, Windy Standard - back using wind farm tracks | Colin Crawford | 22/05/2021 |
I headed down to East Ayrshire today, aiming for the four Donalds around the Afton Reservoir, south of New Cummock. 
Parking at Blackcraig Farm (about 3km north of the dam), I headed up the track to Quintin Knowe and up a boggy ATV track to Blackcraig Hill (700m) a Graham and Donald. Then in a clockwise motion around the Afton Reservoir, following boggy ATV tracks, I bagged the Donald of Blacklorg Hill (681m), two Donald Tops of Meikledodd Hill (643m) & Alwaht (628m) and ending on the Donald of Alhang (642m). 
The plan had been to head west for Windy Standard, a Graham and Donald, but I was tired and didn’t fancy the descent then re-ascent required, so I followed the Afton Water north to the Reservoir. At the north end of the reservoir, I bumped into the farmer, who gave me a lift back down the glen to my car, saving me approx. 3km of a hike. 
It was generally dry all day, with small patches of snow already lying. With the farmer’s assistance this took 05:55hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 05/05/2021 |

Very ugly new track runs from S end of Afton reservoir to col N of hill. | 49pp | 19/04/2021 |
From Polskeoch, small parking area 600m before end of public road (NS 6921 0253), nothing further on. Newish looking logging track leads off main track at NS 6729 0272, goes to within 200m of edge of clear fell. On to Blacklog Hill -> Corse Hill -> Rough Naze. | jonglew | 12/04/2021 |
