Parked before the no parking sign. No problems all very friendly. Nice round of Kirklea - Bught hill - Mount Stuart - Knockenshag | Andrew Simmons | 14/03/2022 |
After 1783 Kirkland Hill, I headed towards Fingland to climb 13150 Knockenshag and 5056 Kirklea. Made mistake of driving up to the gate attracting GOML attention. Road may be public, but land to the side is private so you can't park off the road or we will get the Police. Beat a retreat to alternatives. Others have probably successfully parked before the No Parking signs, under the radar. | henryfm | 06/08/2021 |
#1 of 7 from Fingland | jimbloomer | 02/08/2021 |
Parked on verge at NS75185 17446, just before a wide flat area marked 'no parking'. Did Stony Hill first, then along the track towards Gareland, left after a field gate and through the gate at the top of the field. ATV track part of the way, then rough heather and tussocks. Better descent on ATV track past shooting butts to NS76529 18004, and back along tracks. | LizH | 02/05/2021 |
Parked roadside verge just before end of road (NS 7529 1756). White Hill -> Mount Stuart -> Bught Hill first. From there dropped down to pick up the new road again. At NS 7778 1885 followed a line of old butts straight up the hill. On to Knockenshag for a pleasant 8.25 mile round. | jonglew | 22/03/2021 |
