Parked in Glen Afton near the start of the windfarm track. Circuit of 10 summits. 4/10 | PGCE | 13/10/2023 |
Along wind farm road from Jedburgh Knees. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 03/10/2022 |
Limited verge parking at start of new road to Moorbrock (NX640953). Moorbrock. If you take the first track after the residences on W side of Poltie Burn (unmapped), you can still get onto the track around Green Hill via some wide firebreaks which snake up towards it, then a short brush through the trees. ATV track to Moorbrock Hill, Alwhat, then new wind farm road over Keoch Rig, Windy Standard, Trostan Hill, Dugland on old wind farm roads, back to Windy Standard, down new wind farm road to Hags of Poljargen, then scree and pathless deep grass to Mid Hill of Glenhead, An Tx and deep grass on to Dodd Hill. Descended W on obnoxious veg to get to new wind farm road ASAP, which led back to the entrance gate to the Moorbrock estate. | Isbjorn | 15/06/2022 |
Weather fair. | MountainMac | 30/05/2021 |

Dugland, Tristan, Jedburgh Knees, Windy Standard, Keoch Rig, Moorbrock. Beautiful day. Such a shame about the wind farm devastation. With R, B and Brian. | jenx | 27/09/2020 |
Two day walk from New Cumnock to Carsphairn with an overnight at Clennoch | Colin Crawford | 14/04/2018 |
From Afton CP via William's Castle, then Black Hill, Wedder Hill, Millaneoch Hill, Windy Standard, Jedburgh Knees, Trostan Hill, Dugland, across the Clennoch Burn to Keoch Rig and return. Afton is now surrounded by the sprawling and expanding ugliness of Brocklog Rig wind farm. To add insult to injury, construction workers were putting up a radio mast on the summit of Keoch Rig as I arrived | Nick Down1 | 24/03/2018 |

I'd passed very close by on the way to Clennoch c12 years ago, but had forgotten to leave the track to find the top! Final xDT. | agentmancuso | 05/09/2015 |
From Glen Afton Water works, via road above. All the way to Jedburgh Knees by forest track, then back via Windy Standard and Wedder hill (s5D). Cool and breezy. | iangalbraith | 14/09/2014 |
