Parking a junction at Christskirk, short walk along the track to Sleepystown then up via zig zag tracks. 5/8 HuMP | N.Morters | 09/03/2024 |
Parked as sarahk, at track end to E, on B9002. Followed track to end of wood, in sight of Sleepytown, then up grassy track, following this up and around to the summit. Descended initially as we'd come, then followed grassy track N and back around to the gate at the car. | LizH | 26/02/2024 |
Parked at the entrance to Christskirk and took the minor road to the lovely sounding Sleepytown. After a few hundred metres a new track heads NW from this into the forestry above. Looks like a future timber extraction route. More track than path through the forest to the lovely summit. A path continues over to Hill of Flinder, and from there a forestry road back to the start. | summitter | 01/10/2023 |
Parking for 1 car at gate (61416 27564). Gate no longer locked. Along main track to Sleepytown and up mown grass road winding to top of Hill of Christ's Kirk and then on to Hill of Flinder. Returned over Christ's Kirk before descent down mown paths along ridge back to gate. (easy to follow once on the hill). All extraction of storm damaged wood has now been completed around the paths and currently no replanting activity. | sarahk | 23/09/2023 |
From the Sleepytown crossroads, along the track for a couple of hundred metres, then up new Euroforest Road, turning right at 60068 27139 for grassy track right to the top. Step over the low fence and you're there. | NormanW | 23/04/2022 |
'Rule of 6' starts today for Covid - can only meet max of 6 others inside or out from a max of 2 households - so our last week's holiday cottage meeting in Ballater of 4 of us from 3 households would not be allowed this week. 'Rule of 10' run here for me with a 10 min ascent to top from the amusing Sleepytown sign at the Kirk at a not so sleepy pace. Then a more relaxed 10 mins on lovely velvet carpet of grass path along crest to Hill of Flinders ..and then neatly as it happened another 10 mins quickly downhill to the car. A new track slices across the top of the first field above the Kirk requiring a fence to be surmounted. | Chris Pearson | 14/09/2020 |
New track,gates and fences but route from Sleepytown track still good. Zig zag up through trees to top. Walked NW to Hill of Flinder- a good circular route. | dave g | 28/04/2020 |
Route as per Gill. | willyross | 29/08/2019 |
Walked along B9002 (before I found out there was a good path from Insch!) to point where there was a sign. Path turns left to follow OHL over shoulder of hill. Just before it reaches the crest a path goes into the wood which winds its way to a fence. Follow this uphill to summit TP | Buteobuteo | 29/05/2019 |
A very pleasant walk on grassy forest tracks from Christ's Kirk. Follow the signpost to Old Flinder and there's good parking near Christ's Kirk a few yards along the Sleepytown track. Over the gate, follow the track across the field, over the next gate, turn right, take the first left, then right at the next fork to the top of the hill. Fine views and easy going all the way. This route is recommended, as the car park on the B9002 is shut and parking is dodgy for other start points on that side. | Gill | 11/02/2019 |
Nice little hill. P just along from locked gates of former CP to ENE of hill. Good forest tracks - a little playing of Ouzlem Birds on ascent. Good view of Dunnideer Hill. | ger | 21/04/2018 |
Up to end of the lane, parked by the fork in road then straight up field and wound up through woods to lovely rain-bowed summit. Avoided the showers just, w Jenx and Bryher | nordicstar | 27/01/2018 |
Took a route from NJ 61418 27533, which started on a good forest track, which then turned into the steepest wee grassy track, sooooo steep! View great from the trigpoint but very windy at the top. Backvia the same route. | thejackrustles | 13/10/2017 |
Doing the trig. | BigJ | 24/05/2017 |
visited when bagging the trig, visited with big J | Nozzer | 24/05/2017 |
Ascent from ENE on forest tracks to open grassy summit with gorse bushes. Trig pillar at high point. | RichardM | 25/06/2016 |
From the little carpark and still failed to follow the marked trail. Not that it matters. That it is Easter Sunday has nothing to do with choice of hill, as I'm a godless heathen. | Martin R | 27/03/2016 |
Do this from south .tracks available | tallblond | 02/01/2015 |
Walked up here one lunchtime for a break. Nice place for a wander. | mcbboyd | 11/03/2014 |
Circular from Insch taking in 3 other P30s. | Smudge | 23/05/2013 |

With AS. Walked. With ES. Car park on B9002 still closed. Went up from Christkirk. | eks | 25/10/2012 |
Parked at the side of the road just west of Insch. A series of gentle grassy tracks take you up to the summit which offers good views over to the hill of Dunnideer | jackwesthill | 24/05/2012 |
P closed. Lots of tracks and paths. | chrisbien | 07/06/2011 |
