7th/7 tumps in Loch Ard Forest from Aberfoyle. Forest thinned out. From track to NW. Loose and dangerous barbed fence just before summit, narrowly escaped injury. On the way down I discovered a place where I was pleased to find the barbed wire hand been cut.Topographer5706/02/2024
Garbeg Hill and Kirkton Hill from Aberfoyle carpark, tracks / paths most of the way.Tisteln29/12/2023
From road to the north.colazione10/11/2023
After Garbeg by bike. Parked to the north and a pleasant ascent through the bluebells, picking up balloon litter, to the summit area. Money is on the boulder and the fun of a climbing summit. Tree in the way (just like the other summit candidate but was able to drape myself over the point. A lovely hill best done before the bracken seasonfasgadh13/05/2023
Drove along the minor road to the north until NE of the summit. A simple walk through beautiful woodland from there ... although a little damp underfoot in places and a bracken festooned summit this time of year.summitter23/09/2022

Hill 1 of an anti-clockwise round of 7 Tumps from Aberfoyle car park. Thought about using a bike, but decided it would be more of a hinderance. Easily up open woodland from track to northMinto24/03/2022
As sclater, no access problems, gps confirms top. Freezing but no ice, sunny, wind but sheltered by trees.iangalbraith10/02/2021
From parking area at start of Doon Hill walk to track end SE of summit. The final hundred yards is fiercely defended by close packed firs. Reached anthill cairn on all fours. Forest tracks to S of Kirkton hill, passing a forlorn set of picnic tables and some squashed metal pipes. Through a bluebell glade to the summit. Just beyond two mossy rock ribs, a large boulder beneath a pine seems highest. I used the head above summer rule to avoid damaging the small tree growing on it. The direct route back E involves confronting an awkward drainage ditch and another belt of close growing trees, so it is probably better to return on forest tracks.Nick Down108/05/2020
Walked up from bridge to S of cemetery. Easy going up through broadleaf woods. Deer fence near top is damaged and easy to get past.sclater02/03/2020

Not the best, to put it mildly. With Ben.hillsman02/11/2018
