| Icy track from the FCS Durris carpark to Cairn-mon-earn, then doubled back to Mundernal, finding a Mt Bike path through the trees once off the forestry track. Returned to the car along the wonderfully named Slug Road. | summitter | 08/01/2022 |

| Parked at parking area on A957 just up from end of track at 779911, though there is a small parking area as well just up the track. Follow track up turning left at each junction. Trig point behind last mast. Back the same way. 4.7 miles 1hr 37 walking time. | JulieB | 03/11/2021 |
| Parked at car park Craigie Daff Wood, and strolled through Durris Forest up to trig. Walked back through forest but took different route. | JasonStark | 10/10/2021 |

| Couldn't find direct route due to vegetation up firebreak from SSW, adjacent to mapped track (where small CP, at approx. NJ781909, just up track before locked gate), so up tracks to summit. However, once on top, good path continued south and down firebreak (the MTB trail?). Deteriorated as it descended, especially in bracken belt but passable (up hill would be hard), emerging om road just north of track entrance. | carole engel | 08/08/2021 |
| Need a photo of the trig pillar so headed up for a walk. Removed our geocache we hid in 2009 the trees have grown a lot since we hid the cache making it very difficult to locate it. a cool walk with no views bloomin coastal haar | LizzieG | 04/07/2021 |

| After Muldernal, descended SE back to the track, rough but not too bad. | Dave McG | 20/08/2019 |
| Parked on A957 and walked back to forest CP which was full. Then did the spiral on forest tracks to summit. Note attempted this hill yesterday but was asked to leave forest as motor racing (rally) was taking place. | garyhoney | 11/08/2019 |
