From Baudy Meg around north side of Black Moss on heathery ground that wasn't too bad. Went too far north and ended up having to drop down to about 380m before climbing back up to the Fungle Road. (Should have skirted closer to summit of Black Moss). From FR it was NE up easy track to impressive summit cairn and monument. 4 of 5 Tumps on circular from Birse Castle.Jossker29/10/2022

Parked at the Birse Community Forest car park at NO5450 9623. Followed the forest track (not on my older map) linking in with the track coming from Oldyleiper, and continuing all the way to link with the track up the NE shoulder of the hill. Straightforward, tracked walk, all the way to the summit.LizH25/11/2021

My 4th Dodd of the day. Looked easy enough on the map with a road to the top. Not so. To avoid Birse Castle sp route is a foot pathSouth of the burn at Ballochan. Finally on to estate road with mtb, but last 1k up to summit is walking only. Afterwards on descent also cycled almost to top of Hill of Duchery. Walked the last 300m due to rough track.NormanW03/08/2021

Solo. From Aboyne. I walked up Fungle Road (path) until out of the forest, then went up the heathery slopes to the summit of Carnferg. Deviated to include Craigendinnie on the descent. Warm and sunny so many others out and about.pwbellarby12/07/2020

Beautiful mint conditions on the last day of the year of sunshine, blue skies and light wind -perfect for our a 6 hr 5 Tump hillwalk / chat from Birse Castle with L and John & Becks -on the first day of their 5 day visit over New Year. Busy summit of this distinctive hill above Aboyne - with family groups enjoying the views incl. a girl I teach - I first recognised her distictive lime green outdoor jacket which she normally wears in the playground!Chris Pearson31/12/2019
