1 of 6 | thekirkie pirate | 29/08/2023 |
The last of my 5 hills today in lovely weather. Descended by Jock's Road, and diversion by river to avoid section closed by fallen trees. | NormanW | 26/07/2023 |
Came across from Craigs of Loch Esk. Good little summit, good views. | LizH | 18/10/2022 |
The three Subsimms (2 HHBs) from Glen Clova car park. Jock's Road choked with windthrow, possible to pass R of fallen trees, or follow river. Descended from E end of ridge to mapped path, plenty windthrow but found a good line. | RHW | 05/05/2022 |
From Acharn, took forest track NE from start of Glendoll Lodge track, and followed up to forest edge, contouring W along forest edge to an old made path leading up to SE ridge of Cairn Broadlands, up to that summit, then along ridge top to Craig Mellon, Craig Damff, descended steeply NW to near 738m point, up slopes to Craigs of Loch Esk (including its E top), then round to Cairn Lunkard, mostly on a good track not marked on map, descended NW to Jock's Road and followed that back to Acharn | kdbennett | 10/08/2021 |

BRI meet at Carn Dearg Hut, visit to Davies Bourach, on up Jock's road at back via Cairn Lunkard | bertbarnett123 | 27/11/2019 |
From the visitor centre car park we followed the track alongside the west side of the burn towards Moulzie. Once out of the forest, from the bridge headed straight up to Cairn Broadlands, then easy walk to Craig Mellon (including the cairned top), over the ice and snow to West Corrie, and then SW to Craig Damff. The conditions were so good (no wind, lots of sunshine, easy-going snow) that we carried on over Cairn Damff, across Den of Altduthrie, and up the southern flank of Craigs of Loch Esk. From there it was a simple hop over to Crow Craigies (South Top) and a final summit at Cairn Lunkard. A snow-slide down to the Shelter and a homeward trek along the well constructed Jock's road through Glen Doll ended a superb day (about 6 hrs in total). | summitter | 18/03/2019 |

Jock's Road path rougher than expected on descent in near dark, but improved greatly lower down. | alda | 13/09/2015 |

With: lw; UC81: After lunch by Ski debris with clearer weather we stormed up Glas Maol via Meall Odhar then on to Cairn of Claise and both Tom Buidhe and Tolmount before dropping over Crow Craigies down to Glen Doll camping before the forest. | Ian Baines | 17/05/1981 |
