Parked on the track to the radio masts. Easy walk to the forested top. Battle over disturbed ground on previous extraction now over head high dense wood. Shortly after leaving wood discovered car key lost, 90min fruitless search later admitted defea. Called for my spare to be shuttled from Edinburgh. The Mill Inn just at start of road to track my refuge…N.Morters10/03/2024
Parked half-way up the track to the Relay Station then followed forest roads to E of the summit. From there I picked my way through newly planted Sitka, my more sensible wife awaiting my return on the road. Could be a very tricky bag in a few years once the forest has grown up a bit more.summitter30/09/2023
Well it was definitely a mental Millstone round my neck throughout my breakfast muesli, but in reality it was far less difficult and relatively straightforward than I expected. From 422 580 parking at the aerial masts at the top of the Forest Road in from the NW take the track going south for 750-800 metres then at the fork take the branch to the left, the higher of the two, after couple of hundred meters or so there is a break in the Tall Trees on the right-hand side through to new young growth from the highest point of the track and it's relatively straightforward walking through the young Pines into within 100 metres of the map marked 300m high point where the new young pine get a bit denser, it's pretty flat and certainly 'head above summit' rule absolutely applies... Bagged Mech challenge Broken Moan trig pillar to the north....!vegibagger29/06/2023
3 of 3: After Whiteash Hill we drove to the Oxhill Walk CP just off the B9016. Good parking spaces are available further up after the tarmac ends. It had been icy on the tracks on the earlier walks. We walked up to the comms tower compound- 30 mins and then south to the track HP at 42240:57227. Then VERY slowly through snow covered brash and young trees to the reported HP.

Parked at ‘no unauth vehicles’ on the track to the NW, followed track past 4 masts. Final 200m thru clear fell and young trees. Not too difficult at the moment…govanah27/08/2022
Parked at the 4 masts to the North. Easy walk in, then double trouble, new planting on area of earlier felling. Found the top, but forgot to take a GPS reading and struggled through trees to reach outward path.NormanW22/04/2022
Parked 425554 as no parking outside Newtonbrae Farm. Walked through farm but track through forest blocked by windblow so had a hell of a job joining main track which leads to near the summit. Final section will be challenging in future years as it's been felled and tightly replanted. Much easier return journey on the track which leads through the plantation to where I parked.sclater26/12/2021
As per LizH. Somewhat unexciting hill. Precise summit point difficult to ascertain.willyross05/09/2020
Walked along track from relay station N of summit.187lenny07/06/2020
Parked at the mast to the N or the summit, then a short walk along the track, and finally across a new planted area to the summit. Nice mix of trees, looking good and healthy. Easier to walk across than expected.LizH22/01/2020
Parked near mast. Easy track then short distance across the replanted brashy area. Will be fun in years to come! WithR and B.jenx29/12/2019
Drove up to the relay station (no lockable gates). There is a horrible vehicle track through the brash from the road summit 150m ENE of summit - so just grotty rather than painful.jimbloomer22/04/2016
The only millstone grit is of the teeth variety as one struggles through the brash in the vain attempt to identify the true true summit. When the replant I can see this one being a wee gem of a hill.Martin R24/03/2016
