Tips for the Tops:

Woodhead Hill (27C, LR84)

Graham Bunn

I had to pay for the car park near Mabie House, but it does have the benefit of a cycle shop and cafe where you can pick up a leaflet for the cycle routes. Take the track west through Dalshinnie Glen and follow the red route, which heads to the west of Woodhead Hill (keeping an ear open for bikes). At about NX924714 take a path uphill to arrive at the end of an old wall. The map here has a firebreak heading for the summit, but this does not exist. After fighting our way through the trees, we came to an unofficial cycle route. If you can find the start of this you will have an easy route to the top, as the cycle route goes right by the top of the hill, which has a small cairn. If you continue along the cycle route it comes down onto a forest track east of the hill, which can be followed south to the main track and then back to the car park and cafe.
