| Parked at Thriepmuir and followed road over Redford Bridge, up the hill and turned right on track to Ninemileburn. Followed this track past the west side of Hare Hill to col where post marks a sharp turn back north-east. A distinct path leads to the summit - Old quarry with cairns looks like it offers a choice of tops but marked top is boring rounded top to east. Brilliantly sunny day but frozen ground meant no squelchy bits as I headed east to descend to Green Cleugh and then back to car | Jubilado | 28/01/2019 |
