| From Garlieston | SS | 17/10/2023 |
| Up the Eggerness farm road, over a gate into two fields with cattle. Also over the wall to the trig. | NormanW | 23/04/2023 |
| If you want a quick bag, take the road to Eggerness farm and approach from there. Access from the footpath is either tough or demands a long haul to the south west. Trig enclosed by a cattle feeder, with the high point over the wall in scrubby trees | Colin Crawford | 02/09/2022 |
| from end of the public road as others. | robertphillips | 10/07/2021 |
| Verge parking at end of public road. Took FP SE for 400m to breach in wall (NX 4856 4688), then easy uo through woodland to open cattle pasture. Temptation to hop the wall sooner wil lead to a more difficult crossing of the woodland/gorse belt. | jonglew | 17/05/2021 |
| Along the core path then after 150yds jump the dyke. Hellish route through the woods and gorse but got there. Small cairn. | Play2End | 22/07/2018 |
| Park to S and follow road clockwise. Easy to get to the HP via a gate near the trig. | Thearlaichdubh | 18/07/2018 |
| Short detour off path around eggerness point. | Longwojo | 04/06/2018 |
| Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: Parked at the end of the road near the 'No Parking, No Cars' sign, walked up the road and then into field (N54° 47.911' W4° 21.593'), couldn't see an easy spot to cross the wall so headed to gateway at N54° 47.911' W4° 21.593', then up through old pheasant feeding compound to wall at N54° 47.911' W4° 21.593' which I had to climb, trig is in the middle of a cattle feeder and in full view of the house, luckily cattle were some distance away in the field, back via same route but took road all the way back to the car from gateway at N54° 47.952' W4° 21.183', which in hindsight and considering the time it took to the trigpoint could have been a good place to park. | thejackrustles | 25/03/2018 |
| My driver Adrian parked at the road junction to the WSW. Walked along the path towards Eggerness Point until gap in the wall allowed access. Then up through wood and gorse to summit then onto trig on other side of the wall. | Dugswell2 | 25/03/2018 |
| 1st hill of 6 on the last day of my July/Aug foray in the Rhinns and the Machars. From Garlieston, I walked along the shoreline, crossing thick brambles,rushes and reeds to reach pasture, rounding clear area around woodland to reach 1st knoll then onto summit area, one patch of gorse and several Hawthorn trees, one holding the summit, close to wall and Trig on the other side that I visited afterward. Descent NW along fenceline to wall then over to gate onto track to minor road back into Garlieston but took grassed over track East of Cairn Hill and then onto minor road heading North, onwards to Knockeffric Hill.... | Dazingdale | 05/08/2017 |
| Climbed a gate at SE and made way up a field full of hoof prints. | madaddo | 14/04/2017 |
| Parked at end of public road then ascent through trees and gorse from the path around Garlieston Bay. Easier descent around fields to W. Good views from summit. | RichardM | 11/02/2017 |
| Summit is about 50 p SW of nearby trig, over a stone wall and within a hollow gorse bush. The bay is attractive | Denise | 11/02/2017 |
