32km circuit from Glen Doll. 4/15. | PGCE | 24/02/2024 |
From visitor centre via Cairn Broadlands and Craig Mellon. A few peat hags to negotiate. Then on to the two sub-Simms and a descent down Jock's Road. | NormanW | 26/07/2023 |

From Craig Mellon. A bit wet and peaty in places. Great views across Glen Doll. | LizH | 18/10/2022 |
From Acharn, took forest track NE from start of Glendoll Lodge track, and followed up to forest edge, contouring W along forest edge to an old made path leading up to SE ridge of Cairn Broadlands, up to that summit, then along ridge top to Craig Mellon, Craig Damff, descended steeply NW to near 738m point, up slopes to Craigs of Loch Esk (including its E top), then round to Cairn Lunkard, mostly on a good track not marked on map, descended NW to Jock's Road and followed that back to Acharn | kdbennett | 10/08/2021 |

From the glen doll CP track and path to cairn broadlands, craig mellon, west corrie top, craig damff, criags of loch esk, cairn lunkard, crow craigies south top, sandy hillock, dog hillock, ferrowie, down the capel mounth path back to the CP. | robertphillips | 17/07/2020 |
From the visitor centre car park we followed the track alongside the west side of the burn towards Moulzie. Once out of the forest, from the bridge headed straight up to Cairn Broadlands, then easy walk to Craig Mellon (including the cairned top), over the ice and snow to West Corrie, and then SW to Craig Damff. The conditions were so good (no wind, lots of sunshine, easy-going snow) that we carried on over Cairn Damff, across Den of Altduthrie, and up the southern flank of Craigs of Loch Esk. From there it was a simple hop over to Crow Craigies (South Top) and a final summit at Cairn Lunkard. A snow-slide down to the Shelter and a homeward trek along the well constructed Jock's road through Glen Doll ended a superb day (about 6 hrs in total). | summitter | 18/03/2019 |
Started with the 874m top to NW which for some reason I mistakenly thought was a Corbett top! Then headed SW over Craig Damff and Cairn Mellon. Descent down NE edge of woods onto Jock's road was ok for return. | dickscroop | 23/09/2016 |
