Dropped Hannah early at airport so started from Visitor Centre at 0630. Revisit to marilyn but added 4 further hills this time. Horrendous conditions, saw nothing, forgot phone/GPS and had a thigh deep burn crossing. Prided myself on navigation with tatty map and defective compass.lordtonult01/07/2023
From Muirshiel Country Park, crossed concrete bridge ~300m NW of the visitors' centre. East Girt Hill and Hill of Stake first then across to here. On to High Corby Knowe, Long Hill, Box Law, Windyrise, Capet Law, Misty Law and return for a 17k round over rough heathery ground after Stake. One saving grace was nearly frozen ground, otherwise would have been a very boggy round.jonglew07/12/2022
A circuit from the park office of Hill of Stake via Queenside, West & East Girt and Misty Law and back by the Raith Burn. Plenty of heather, bog and tussocks but nothing drastic.sclater28/04/2022
Heavy rain, high winds and fast flowing burns made this walk a bit of an unexpected adventure. We followed a recommended route pinned up the the Visitor Centre noticeboard. From the Visitor Centre to the barytes mine then up to Hill of Stake, West Girt Hill, East Girt Hill and Misty Law. We then made the schoolboy error of heading NE directly back to the Visitor Centre, not realising that the bridge over the River Calder was no longer present. Once we realised this and because the Raith Burn was in full turbulent spate we had to clamber back up its southern bank for a couple of km before finding a narrow enough section to try and wade across thigh deep. Once this proved impossible we re-surfaced, walked upstream even higher and found a spot to leap from. We eventually made it back to the car - wetter, colder and wiser!summitter07/02/2022

Easy walk following fence from Hill of Stake. With Gavin.Dangerous Dave09/06/2019
Of all my logs on here, this was the one I was least certain I'd actually visited the top, so had to come back to check. From High Corby Knowe, on to Hill of Stake.agentmancuso02/01/2019
On walk from Largs to Muirfauldhouse via Hill of Stake with uncle and cousincampagvelocet10/05/2018
A round of eleven hard won hills from the road to the west. Terrain a nightmare and twelve hours of non stop rain before leaving turned it into a quagmire. The rain continued all the time I was out. I don't want too many days like this!thenomad20/11/2017
9th hill of 13 on an epic route from Largs to Lochwinnoch, climbing Jock's hill, Rigging Hill, Paton's hill, Feuside Hill, Irish Law, Black Law, Windyrise, Box Law, Long Hill and High Corby Knowe. I dropped onto a knoll below to try and get some wind cover to eat my lunch before heading to the summit. Explored All high areas and then continued onto Hill of Stake.Dazingdale22/09/2016
Parked at the end car park in Muirshiel Country Park then took the track towards the mine to cross the River Calder at the second bridge where I then headed directly for Misty Law which involved a steep crossing of the Rathy Burn. Then onto East Girt Hill, contoured around HoS to West Girt Hill before having a break at Hill of Stake where there was a lovely cooling breeze on a very warm sunny day. A direct return route to the bridge via an easier/higher crossing of the Rathy Burn then on to bag the pretty Windy Hill before returning to the car, a bit hot and dehydrated.Dugswell201/06/2016
