Solo. From the forestry car park south of the Bin. I followed the Yellow Trail, which does a circuit over the summit of The Bin, clockwise. On the descent left the Yellow Trail to make my own way to Boddum Hill. A nice Autumn day.pwbellarby25/10/2020

Parked at the forest gate at NJ 49096 43384. Followed the forest track round and upwards, following the uphill yellow marker, then the white indicator up the pleasant forest path to the summit. Very pleasant walk.LizH21/01/2020

Parked below the old quarry, former FC car park, plenty of room before locked gate. Disagree recent comments, it’s nearer and as good tracks from here than up over the road col to NW. we were following White route all the way with ease on a gusty windy sort of day but bright sunny weather too. A fine summit with views if you look, continued on over past top and used a mix of yellow/green to return but branched off to follow overgrown track back to quarry and fast descent to car. Less than hour all told.nordicstar24/01/2018

A very pleasant evening stroll from the car park on the A96 just NW of Huntly. Started on the yellow trail then the white trail which crosses the rounded rock outcrop at the high point. Pines bending in the gusting wind.RichardM27/09/2016
Green, yellow then white FC tracks. It would be quicker from the main road summit rather than the FC carparkjimbloomer20/04/2016
