From the road to the West of Dalbeattie reservoir. Here for the trig. | NormanW | 10/07/2023 |
Down from Knox Hill to join main track up, was puzzled by what looked like the traces of unusually manic orienteering till I remembered the comments about offroaders. Passed by cheery maintenance man-in-a-van who then abseiled up the mast. Came down W to just shy of Rumbling Well, which was a bit daft, lucky to get through the gorse & hawthorne relatively unscathed, would be better to stick to the top of the ridge till much nearer the road. | agentmancuso | 18/05/2023 |
Walked from Buittle farm. Farmer very kindly let me park at their son's house (which is not abandoned). Word of warning! The road to the farm has badly deteriorated lately and the difference in height from left to right is strongly noticeable. I nearly couldn't get back up with my Micra so people with cars with low clearance should avoid! | Katrina89 | 28/11/2022 |
From the west as others. | robertphillips | 23/01/2022 |
From Dalbeattie Reservoir along path left of Res. End of Res found a break in the wall and followed cow track to the main track which ascends straight to trig and masts. From here it was on to Knox Fell | Wayne Mac | 12/01/2022 |

Here for the trigpoint 'Buittle Mains' TP:UK log: 
Parked a derelict building at bottom of track to reservoir and walked up track to mast. Reservoir is drained at the moment and lots of workmen about. We met the farmer on the way back and had a long chat. He said people off road at the top near the mast hence the churned up ground and hazard tape. | thejackrustles | 07/05/2019 |
Roadside parking to W of Dalbeattie Resr. Mostly dried up, so a direct route across it to top of the hill. Track starts 250m further N along the road if resr is full. With Alex C. | jonglew | 21/03/2018 |
Space to park by footpath sign towards north end of Reservoir. Across to res then S to KH. 2 gates. Down to outflow from res. Across field, over break in wall and rough track to main track and top. Back along path on E side of res. | chrisbien | 03/06/2017 |
From footpath along reservoir, water level extremely low | Colin Crawford | 18/07/2016 |
