Round of 4 Hills with Alex and jonathan from tweedhopefoot. Misty with rain and wind increasing through day | cjo | 17/02/2024 |
A reasonable 4 top circuit given the dreary weather conditions today, done in good company and high spirits alongside Chris and Jonathan. | Alex C | 17/02/2024 |
Parking for one at track start (NT048170). Followed forest roads to about NT060176, then used extraction lane to Bught Shank. | Isbjorn | 02/09/2023 |
7th for the day with D.Dave. Clear and sunny and ground still frozen mid afternoon. Headed south to Foal Burn Head. | bolton | 02/01/2023 |
Came over from Whitehope Heights via Whitehope Knowe, Barncourse Knowe & Ballaman Hill. This would have been a very wet route if not for the frozen ground. With bolton. My first new Hump of 2023! | Dangerous Dave | 02/01/2023 |
From Badentree following the fence to the summit. | JAdair97 | 17/08/2022 |
From the Fruid dam, up to and over the smaller dam, then on to the summit via the Hawkshaw castle remains. Descended again over Whitelaw Brae and on to my 4th Hump of the day, Whiteside Hill. Some atv tracks usable. | NormanW | 11/02/2022 |
From large layby at Tweedhopefoot (NT 0525 1776). Tweedhopefoot Rig and Onweather Hill first. From there descended ENE easily through mature conifers to a ford, picked up good logging road running ESE then up Mucle Green Cleuch. On to Badentree Hill for a pleasant 7 mile round albeit over some tricky ground in places. | jonglew | 03/12/2021 |
Bagging the trig. Even spotted an OS Pivot on summit rock. | BigJ | 08/06/2021 |
Parked at the reservoir car park for a circuit of 4 Tumps. Over dam then along track before heading left over stream, fence and gate into summit field. ATV track to Glengonnor Hill. Onwards to Badentree Hill, Craigmaid (trig and summit) and The Bank. | PGCE | 22/03/2021 |
Parked at the end of the forest track to the SE at NT1487 1703. (Gate, though open, had a padlock, and was locked later.) Followed the track around and turned right on the minor track up the Glencraigie Burn. Three small fords on the track were easy to cross, though I guess they could be deeper in heavy rain. Left the track by a grassy area at NT06901 17142, approx. 20m after a tributary runs under the track. Inside the forest, moved up and right through mature trees to a wide break at NT06948 17209. Pleasant walking up this break on good flat ground to emerge at NT07129 17594, then rough grass along a fence line to the summit. (Would have been possible to exit the forest earlier by following a crosswise ride, however walking inside the forest was so easy underfoot that we chose not to.) Returned the same way. | LizH | 03/08/2020 |
Parking area by the Fruid Dam at NT 0892 2056 - Over dam & continued to end of road & bridge over sluice - Along the N. & W. side of enclosure where picked up ATV track to corner of wood - ATV track around edge of wood to fence line in col & then ATV track for much of the way up to the unmarked summit - Path alongside fence to trig point.

From reservoir across to the remains of Hawkshaw Castle (ancestral home of the Porteus family from the cairn) then along rough track to fence then up to and along 'ridge' to summit and then trig point. Returned by the same way. Certainly no issue with social distancing here as the world closes down. | SS | 22/03/2020 |
Hp unmarked a short distance from trig at fence junction within rough sheep pasture. From Bught Shank and onto Onweather Hill, better terrain than expected. | Denise | 08/07/2019 |
Circuit from Fruid Reservoir car park. Whiteside Hill, Glengonnor Hill. The Bank (also visiting other nearby tops within 330m contours) camping overnight near summit, Craigmaid, Badentree Hill. | RobertP | 16/06/2019 |
Drove up forestry tracks then through trees to open ground. | robertphillips | 08/04/2016 |
Revisited during six Tump round. | Colin Crawford | 22/09/2015 |
Parked at Fruid dam. Mostly used faint tracks through the grass - Glack Knowe - Whitelaw Brae - Craigmaid. | chrisbien | 03/01/2011 |
Easy circuit from Fruid Reservoir car park | agentmancuso | 14/10/2007 |
