After Green Hill along a sort of track and then down to SU way | trimarc2 | 22/08/2023 |
Last hill of the day from Wanlockhead | Andrew Simmons | 11/07/2023 |
From the end of the tarmacked road and up the SUW. | hillsman | 06/06/2023 |
Up the SUW from Wanlockhead, then approached the summit from the west, along the fence line, where there is a good track all the way to the summit. A bit boggy in places, but it was February and hissing it down most of the day! Gold prospectors were panning in the river below - one guy said he had taken £500 of flour gold (dust) so far this year. | Toby-and-Dion | 18/02/2023 |
From Wanlockhead, where a path goes up to Black Hill and on to Green Hill. From here, a narrower path heads to Stood Hill, where a fence line provides a straightforward direction finder to Willowgrain Hill and over to Conrig Hill. Then along the SUW, with a short shimmy to Glengaber Hill, all the way back to Wanlockhead. The industrial history of the village is worth a visit alone. 3.5hrs total, including stops at all the interpretation panels en route. | summitter | 26/01/2023 |

Parked at end of public road (NS 8630 1373), could easily have driven a lot further - good ungated track leads on. Followed SUW until due N of the hill, then across rough pasture. On to Slough Hill -> Snarhead Hill -> Sowen Dod. A wet and windy 7.5 mile round. | jonglew | 25/03/2021 |
