Richard Webb: You can still get into the forest from the north, but the road is now impassable at a phone mast 2.5km in. Forestry work has chewed it up, and a new rougher track has been dug. I went round to the south, where there are more roads than are shown on pre-purple mapping. You can get in at NX733734 and there is a parking space at NX727749. It's an easy walk up from there through fairly open woods; no crawling or pushing required. Mind you, a compass is advised, as I got lost on the way back. At the moment this is a rather pleasant hill, however soon it will be felled, and things could get nasty. There is work in progress clearing the wind-throw, which is no longer a big problem. I like this hill, yet I had been dreading it for years (White Top of Culreoch is another matter - pure evil).
