A little swampy at the start but this gives way to rocky paths when the steeper ascent begins.

Incredible 360 degree views of Ayrshire.

It's a straightforward hike to to the summit, need to avoid the wetter parts on the path and can be a little rocky in places but no scrambling required.
Views from the top a very good - we could just about make out Ben Lomond to the north through the heat haze, and Arran to the west.
