Up the Insh Community Woodland footpath then easy angled tracks all the way to the pillar. Glad I kept this one back, thinking it might be a good one to do in winter if weather was too extreme to do bigger hills - however today it was too extremely hot (!!!) to do anything else. A cool, shady woodland walk was just perfect in 28 degree heat. Too hot even for flies, result!

Additional part of forest walk, taking in Craig Letir. No fallen trees along the track, so quite an easy bag.

Parked at the end of the road (Balnascriten) and followed the main track until we spotted a mountain bike track heading (NH 83056 00758) in the right direction for the trigpoint. Followed this all the way to the top and down the main track to the car.

Unfortunately as it is surrounded by trees, there is no view at all, it's quite an anticlimax and probably the least interesting part of the circular walk.

Parked just past Insh house, then walked the Ballintean road until passing Uath Lochan then forest tracks. Weather good.... flies not good! Pillar good condition. Most of the forest has been culled which not so good...but there was some amazing views back over toward Kincraig because of it!

Attacked by 100's of flies here so shot not great!

The Ancrum Mountaineering Club I persuaded them to do a trig point walk.

Parked at Insh. Track up past houses gives access to path network. I walked up a mountain bike track but came down main track.

A cheeky wee hill but unfortunately no view because of the trees.

Have visited this trig several time on the mountain bike and never log any details. But on the visit was with Big J.

Mountain biking path runs SE along wall from trig point. I used track East/West thru' wood which was boggy and partially obstructed by fallen trees. Found mountain bike track on return and assume it runs all the way down the wall to Corarnstilbeg. IF you do take the track East/West, be sure to choose the left hand junction at NN 828 995 towards the wall to avoid felled forestry and a narrow band of trees.

4.5 mile walk at full tonk in 1 hour 3 minutes...no views as such. Pity they have not cut tress back on top as I image the views would be awesome.

Beautiful Autumn evening en route to a stag weekend at Loch Insh. Came up from road to east following faint track and then mountain bike path through woods. Groom is marrying Vanessa next month so pillar had a particular relevance ;-)

OSBM.10766. By path. Creag Dhubh. Heather clad top with scattered conifers. The Vanessa is in good condition but for slight weathering to the top surface. The spider centre is open, also noted is the depleting cardboard inside. The flush bracket faces NNW, compass measurement 350°. Vented through the back sighting hole. Views limited to gaps in trees all round.

Vanessa with plug missing. (On a MTB trail.) Up from the Corranstilbeag track and along the mountainbikers path. The cardboard is still intact inside the tube, so the isiot with the allen key must have visited recently. Never mind the penny dropper - who is behind the King of Diamonds, and where is the rest of the pack?
