From CR at end of South Brae road, track N to rubble barrier on left, across this to slight ridge, then S between broom and trees to obvious summit, passing two fire circles en route to Summitter's cairn.Nick Down129/12/2023
Car park at end of South Brae road from Lennoxtown. Bagged this tump first via track then a short hop through the veggie matter,then on to the trig, which has a path to it (not on map) Sure this hill must have decent views to the highland line, but not today.hils20/10/2023
From cp at end of South Brae road. Made very heavy weather of this one. Best to use google maps satellite view and take track North from cp til you get to piles of rubble and follow grid ref from there.colazione09/07/2023
From the end of the driveable road. Warned by a dog walker that an old man had been seen in the area earlier and that he had no clothes on from the waist down. Luckily did not meet him!Crumblie202/03/2023
Near ride up from Lennoxtown. Easy walk from road to the east over stony ground (site of the quarry) except for the last couple of metres - wire like brambles over rotting logs. The cairn is still there.fasgadh26/01/2023
The summit point is not simple to determine due to fallen trees and loose boulders. I've added a small cairn to my best guess.summitter05/08/2022
Walk from Lennoxtown, visited trig as wellhillsman16/04/2022
North from the Lennox Forest Car Park. Visited the trig to the south-west on the way back.JAdair9728/12/2021

From Newlands. 10minutes to top then down past spooky buildings to cycle track and onto Dunglass. Difficult going over tussocky moor directly back to car.lordtonult01/12/2020
Note that there is no quarry any more, its all been filled in. Soil is firm enough at present, so not a barrier.Belfarm 04/11/2020
Slept in the car at the CP to the south. Started off in the dark. The quarry is being filled in with soil and stones. Despite overnight rain, it safe to walk on.Campbell Singer09/10/2020
Short walk direct from CP. Summit could be tricky without a chainsaw in future due to rapidly growing densely packed spruce seedlings.sclater08/03/2020
Parked at road end to south and good track to quarry. New trees planted on top, s o could be fun in a few years. With C.PeterD19/05/2019
Long circular walk from Milngavie. Summit area clear felled since my last visit a few years backColin Crawford23/12/2017
parked at the end of the minor road, up forestry track to the quarry.robertphillips03/02/2017
from John Muir way via bridge at 613746. Follow obvious forest roads to summit which is a good viewpoint now that the trees are being felled. Spy on Celtic FC training ground on way down.Thearlaichdubh25/01/2017
Parking restricted due to forestry operations although none seen during the quick walk to the summit.neimcv09/01/2017
Warm, sunny, calm and good views.iangalbraith29/05/2016
Visited trig as well.hillsman25/02/2016
From parking place at end of road. All the trees in the current summit photo have been felled long ago - which confused me when I first arrived at the summit quarry.Minto29/08/2015
Ran up from Anne's house in Balmore and visited trig on the way.stever23/08/2014
P at jnct due S of summit. Top is a heap of soil. Can't see the original surface. Just west of barbed wire fence.chrisbien06/02/2013
The highest point is now definitely the spoil tip from quarry excavations, possibly slightly higher than the natural hill was. Visited nearby trig first and bagged this on the way back.andy15/10/2011
Work was going on around the summit. Given the amount of earth moving going on it is possible the summit has shifted! The highest point I could find was a probably temporary mound of earth, perhaps slightly east of the listed GR.campagvelocet24/10/2007
