Walked up from Wee Bear cafe at Lintrathen. Access up steps to reservoir then barbed wire fence to cross. Barbed wire fence can be avoided by carrying on past steps and crossing at wooden section of fence | daviemore | 11/04/2024 |
From W up steps then path to Res, then on to Obs stn on top. | Gonk | 01/02/2023 |
Enough room to park car beside gate into field on road just north of Cothelhill. Walk up through field. If coming up from south as I was, there is a high barbed wire fence to get over to reach the knoll at the top. Knew it looked too simple! Good view over the Loch. | Jossker | 11/06/2022 |
Verge parking on minor road to NE. Up through field to hp. | NormanW | 18/04/2022 |
Not really sensible to park on the adjacent road, but a lay-by at the entrance to the SWT hide on Loch of Lintrathan is not much further, it just requires starting at a lower point and walking up a grassy field. Well built wind shelter on summit! | summitter | 12/06/2021 |
Weather fair. | MountainMac | 16/03/2021 |
