Really rubbish route: Minor road to the wall corner at NX56247845 then tortuous undergrowth up the ride to the track. Should have started the start of the track. | Eddie | 05/07/2022 |
P Craigshinnie Bridge, track to burn SSE of top, up through roughish ground, easier once over parallel track. On to s3 NE Top then through quite easy patches of trees to old cairn at NX 56854 79314, from where the track in is visible down wide FB. | agentmancuso | 14/05/2021 |
Drove forest road to good parking spot at NX 5624 7845. Picked up an old partially grassed over logging track ~70m back E along track which gave a good start. Some really rubbish ground round here. On to Benbrack. | jonglew | 19/04/2021 |

Drove forest road from Craigshinnie Bridge. Took faint path beside burn. Came on to track, not marked on map, running across Hillside. Followed it East for short way, then cut back onto Hillside. Young trees and rocky outcrops to Trig and Top. Great viewpoint. With the F.C. | The Captain | 05/09/2020 |
Parked near the end of the forest track at approx NX581 787. Followed the track until south of the hill, leaving it at NX56563 78568. Picked our way up from there over some old felling, grass and short heather. Worthwhile summit with good views. | LizH | 12/07/2020 |

6th and penultimate top of the day on a long circular from Glenlee visiting Meikle Millyea Trig point via Meikle Lump, Milldown, Millfire, Meikle Millyea's true top, Little Millyea and Benbrack, following forest edge most of the way then heading direct for the top. Fairly windy but great views of the area i have visited on my adventures. Careful descent to reach open ride and track to head to my last hill of the day and Topo and RHB Section completion: Glenlee hill. | Dazingdale | 21/04/2019 |
In from SE. Just picked the least forbidding looking ascent up through the clear fell. Descended more directly. Good viewpoint | Thearlaichdubh | 19/07/2018 |

From Craigshinnie Bridge. Track to burn a little E of S of the hill. At about 300m hit a stone path/track. Headed W where there is a faint QBT which goes almost to the top. | chrisbien | 29/05/2018 |
