Easy access from the golf course. Stunning views across the River Clyde and to Ben Lomond and Arrochar Hills. Views as far as Glasgow and the Whitelees windfarm

Just east of the golf course. Walked up the track to the west then NE along G edge before gingerly easing over Barby and through scattered gorse

Log #485. From south - I didn't want to risk taking the car up the track so I left it at the bottom, but it's easily drivable all the way to the 201m spot-height. Over the gate, and followed Pylon Boulevard all the way to the pillar. Still some remnants of the graffiti and broken glass about. [ExP-326/MiP-38/Rev-6/BM-39/IS-50/Other-26]

Parked beside some houses and followed a path to golf club. Then followed a track up to golf course then went off piste to trig. Very vandalised. Good views.

Nice straight forward walk from Shops carpark in Dubbs Road up the farm track and off to the right into the field round to the trip. Good all round views over local hills and across the Clyde. Returned via golf course :-)

Painted names on trig still there but slowly disappearing with the weather. My local trig ( only less than a 1km away), use occasionally for some radio work. Excellent views on a sunny day

Dry approach from golf course (west) side. Decent viewpoint but a gloomy day. It seems Grant and Lee or maybe Grant Lee or Lee Grant (or perhaps Grant Lee Buffalo) have/has been here this year judging by the graffiti. On top the asphalt plug and much of the spider are covered in some clay or cement like substance (did not probe too deeply) with a little broken bottle glass.

FB facing south-ish, all sightholes open and the N/S tube is clear with the bolt visible! First time I've even seen that...cap is missing with an asphalt plug in place. Pillar in decent condition apart from a lump taken out the SW edge. Really, really good views on a glorious day. Easy approach from Mid Auchinleck Farm road past a wall that looks potentially nice for bouldering....

Revisit to recap details... asphalt plug, all sights open with base exposed tall n proud and a slight nick out of south edge. A new cyclepath runs from the clubhouse due west over Dougliehill towards Knocknair Hill

High Auchenleck ...nicer day :-)

Parked at clubhouse. Beware of low-flying golf balls! Stands on a platform of about a foot in height, but no broader than the width of the trig. Makes the trig look very tall.
