Tight parking for one at start of forest road (NT532013). Forest roads NNE until where road stops ascending and levels out (approx NT554036). The forest on the W side of the road here is impenetrable except for where a deer track pushes through – this is difficult to identify – look for two stunted trees forming a flat bottomed V on the W side, look through the V and 20m beyond. This exits onto open ground followed by fragile ground of rotting trees through a thin belt of trees which exits onto a grassy track to the top. Followed this grassy track back S along a wide grassy ride, severely churned up by motorbikes – just before the trees on the E side of the ride peter out, a FP heads off SE – this emerges back onto the forest road about 200m N of the stream crossing at NT550027, at an overgrown lichenous boulder and lead acid battery. Easy. Take your pick, break an ankle or get wet feet. | Isbjorn | 06/04/2023 |
Drove forest road, parking opp a break at NT 5581 0391. Took break ENE till it widened out then steeply up over rough mossy-boulder strewn ground. | jonglew | 19/10/2021 |
Followed gerrybowes route. Excellent summit views. Spotted this hill with its large summit cairn, from Fanna Hill last year. | ger | 30/04/2021 |
As mae and gerrybowes. There is an ATV track along the ridge: passes close to the high seat at NT 5508 0353 - eases the tussocks a little. | PGCE | 13/03/2021 |
Evening trip taking fire break from west. Made mistake of taking left at the split and had some tree bashing. Came down without any issues (take the right going up). | SS | 26/05/2019 |
As mae. Parked in layby at NT 53712 03569 & keeping close to edge of forest, up left side of burn to confluence at 547033 - Took right fork & keeping to left of burn, up to open ground & large summit cairn. A fair bit of tussock, but intermittent faint paths helpful. (S) | gerrybowes | 29/03/2019 |
From mae's layby took a line mostly outside wood except at top, no sign of path so very rough going all the way, bit of an ordeal. Huge cairn at summit. | Aye Jimmy | 17/11/2018 |
Parked car at whitrope and walked in by hawklaw plantation track. Left road below summit up a small forest ride to cairn. | alanm9 | 06/04/2018 |
gate shut today, followed mae's route up side of the stream. | robertphillips | 09/07/2016 |
From just north of pt263m on B6399. Prob one firebreak up from mae's route. A few twists & turns but no difficulty getting to the top. Last Yeaman on 
LR80. | agentmancuso | 14/04/2015 |
A faint path heads up through the wide gap between plantation and burn, starting at NT 53712 03569 (lay-by). Go right at a T, then fork right when the burn splits, to reach open ground near the summit. No trees to deal with on this route. | mae | 21/02/2015 |
Drove up track till I got just below top, found way through young trees on grass to deforested area, easily over this to gain grassy bank then top. | Anton | 17/06/2014 |
Track from B6399. South then north. Firebreak through young trees. Some of the open ground was treacherous - Left overs from felled trees. | chrisbien | 11/09/2012 |
fine summit & view, tumulus, E slope clear-felled & +/- clear. forest road from SW, can drive partway if gate open | RHW | 05/03/2004 |
