| From main track near substation which followed to track along shore of Loch Howie where we headed through the trees easily to Wallace’s Rig, back to main track to Blackcraig Hill. Onto Benneeve and Fell Hill. Through the brash for a short while to meet the track past Loch Skae. Carried on past Loch Howie to the road and a short walk then back to the car | Wayne Mac | 12/02/2023 |
| Along windfarm track from main entrance with short diversion for Wallace's Rig. Like Jon, did consider short cuts but wisely stuck to the main drag. Decent view today, 8/8 cloud base sitting about 3000ft, on to Benneeve. | agentmancuso | 11/06/2021 |
| Parked at wind farm track start (NX 6882 8374). Diverted off for Wallace's Rig, then after rejoining the main track just followed it all the way up. It winds around the hills a bit, but thought preferable to stick with it rather than bash over the snow-covered rubbish. On to Benneeve and Fell Hill on the same track. | jonglew | 06/02/2021 |
| Windfarm track from north to Blackcraig Hill then on to Benneeve and to the large cairn on Fell Hill. Overcast all day so views came and went. Returned by dropping fairly easily through felled area to Loch Skae then track to Laggan and back to car. | SS | 17/01/2021 |
| From A702 on windfarm tracks to less than 50m from top. Someone has driven over the last bit to very close to the trig. | chrisbien | 26/08/2020 |
| Up tracks from A702 to NW. Wind farm track now links Blackcraig - Benneeve - Fell Hill. | 49pp | 07/08/2020 |
| Tracks from north then up through pretty awful brash, on to Benneeve, wind farm tracks making it an easy link | Colin Crawford | 07/08/2020 |
