Round of Arnbarrow Hill, Whitelaws, Hound Hillock and Garrel Hill from Arnbarrow. Not a comfortable hill, ground off track is uneven and there are hags around the summit. | Topographer57 | 19/02/2024 |

Parked in a layby at the Cairn o'Mount 455 high point. Followed the short piece of track, then intermittent animal tracks (shredded scarecrow is still there!) to the summit. On to Hound Hillock. | LizH | 23/11/2021 |
From Clatterin' Brig. HH - W - A. Hill fog and rain but not much wind. Trig then top. 
SE side of fence. Zigzag round and through the peat hags. | chrisbien | 28/10/2021 |
Bike from Clatterin Brig as far as locked gate at 630789 then Hound Hillock before Whitelaws. | NormanW | 03/08/2021 |
A sunny Sunday in January with L who once trussed up in boots, gaiters, over-trousers, gloves, hat, many layers and windproof jackets commented that she felt like we were preparing for a moon landing rather than a walk - but proved ideal for lurching through the semi-frozen bogs and numbing SW breeze into our faces on the initial windswept plod. - Passed the shredded scarecrow which is still standing in the oddest of locations -on one of the identical thousands of peat hags. Part of a 10k 3 hour morning circuit over- from the windswept Cairn o' Mount road top. | Chris Pearson | 12/01/2020 |
No path, just bogs, tussocks and heather with no marking of actual summit | Al_N | 12/08/2019 |
Weather fair. | MountainMac | 30/07/2019 |

On way from Sturdy Hill to Meluncart. | Alan Moore | 25/07/2018 |
Some deep peat hags on the way from Hound Hillock. South of fence slightly better. | alda | 26/01/2018 |
The good track at the Cairn o'Mount soon disappears and the summit becomes a hard slog through tussocks. | JohnW | 31/07/2017 |
From Viewpoint car park near top of Cairn o' Mount. Solo. Went up to top of Cairn o' Mount where there is a large cairn. Went WSW a little S of fence finding bits a path (or deer track?). Nothing to mark the highest point of Whitehills. Continued to Hound Hillock and Meluncart. | pwbellarby | 18/07/2017 |
Look out for the shredded scarecrow half way up from Cairn o' Mount. Freaky in the mist! | summitter | 16/06/2017 |
