Turn up left, alongside the tree edge and Benroach Burn. After 300 metres the right-hand (north) bank is obstructed by windblown trees. Cross to the awkward rough ground on the left side of the stream. Just above, a clear gap continues uphill, east. (The gap separates young trees on the right from newly planted trees on the left.)

The ride arrives at the wall at the plantation top, south of Sheuchanower. Turn north, with the wall on your right, across Sheuchanower’s slight rise, then up the grassy slope towards Larg Hill. Here, at the natural treeline, scrubby dwarf pine has been left to itself on the slope to your right. At a wall junction, keep ahead to the summit cairn on Larg Hill.

Head northeast, to the left of another wall, down to Nick of the Brushy. The col is a small meltwater channel, from when ice filled the Loch Trool valley on your left. That same glacier has dumped granite boulders along the ridge. A small path leads up Lamachan Hill. The summit is marked by a gateway gap in a falling stone wall.
