Parked at the ruins with boats, track to near the top. | robertphillips | 10/07/2021 |
Good verge parking going towards the farm (NX 4639 3602). Walked from there. Manure mound becoming naturalized, all grassed over, perhaps it's the HP now. | jonglew | 17/05/2021 |
P at farm road end to S. Bitten by dog at farm. HP is adjacent to dungheap. | Thearlaichdubh | 18/07/2018 |
Parked passed farm track which was then used to bag messy pasture summit and higher possibly old manure heap with Adrian, | Dugswell2 | 25/03/2018 |
5th hill of 6 today on a tough cattle-strewn route from Port William to Garlieston, climbing Fell of Barhullion, Camp Hill, Fell of Carleton and Hill of Glasserton, descent down to dense gorse, tracked West, forced my way down through the gorse where gaps had opened up (ouch) before taking slope with stream down to shoreline, then headed along edge of crops before crossing boulders and pebbles to St. Ninian's Cave, up Physgill Glen, across crops ENE to track near High Arrow then along fenceline to Low Arrow before climbing across field (again thundering of hooves showed 20+ cows thundering towards me but I was near wall so not unduly concerned)to climb upto grassy, nettle covered mound. Descent to track leading to Drummoral and then on road to Isle of WHithorn. Quick soup at the popular pub. Started walking on road to Garlieston but expressed interest in a lift and this was forthcoming after only 5 minutes on the tarmac! Next Hill: Gallow Hill. | Dazingdale | 04/08/2017 |
Along farm track to summit of rough pasture and good views. | RichardM | 11/02/2017 |
Good location for a fort with extensive views. Manure pile higher than grassy natural HP. Parking awkward. | Denise | 11/02/2017 |
