From W, barrier, track then path from NS 81371 36300 to summit. Sunny breezy morning | RHW | 13/10/2023 |
Parked on road at west at barrier. Foreground and midground approaching bing have been cleared and bulldozed. Mid ground has some holes in ground upto ten feet deep. Tread carefully or pack potholing gear. Good view. | colazione | 15/08/2023 |
Shame people have to be so untidy and just dump rubbish. Even the road driving here is littered | Andrew Simmons | 08/04/2023 |
Part of a 3 mile wander on the old Bogie Line and through the edge of the SSSI Moss, from Coalburn Pool car park. | DaveGraham | 12/10/2022 |
From NS 8119 3612. The profile from the M74 can't be ignored. | summitsup | 02/10/2022 |

From partially flooded layby to the West. Fine views from the Top. if anyone is on the lookout for a second hand bath, then look no further..this could be the Plumb Center of S. Lanarkshire. With the F.C. | The Captain | 15/03/2022 |
Parked in layby beside bing. Fine views from summit. | vuirich | 09/04/2021 |

Pity about the rubbish around the bing but a fine viewpoint | hillsman | 15/08/2019 |
Parked just S of Glaikhead, bing side of road, where track heads to the bing. As noted, lots of rubbish, but a great view from the summit. | Minto | 30/06/2019 |
Park at entrance. A fine bing. Should put Coalburn on the map. | Thearlaichdubh | 24/12/2018 |
A spoil tip which nature is reclaiming for a nice amenity hill. It will be even better when they remove and prevent local fly dumping. | Topographer57 | 02/09/2018 |

3000th tump parked small layby south of glaikhead. | robertphillips | 08/02/2018 |
As Chris. Still a mess at the bottom, but enjoyable on top. | agentmancuso | 04/03/2017 |
Parked to the WNW then used a direct route to the bing's summit. It still looks an artificial hill to me but it does make a grand view point even on a grey morning. | Dugswell2 | 28/12/2016 |
P just S of Glaikhead. | chrisbien | 17/08/2015 |
