The easiest way on foot or by bike to Greensykes is via the farm track running up the west side of the Meggat Water Glen from the roadhead at Glendinning. The Bothy is situated approximately 2 miles up the Glen, a 45 to 50 minute walk. Glendinning should not be confused with Jamestown, the southernmost group of buildings close by. Vehicles should not be parked adjacent to these buildings. There is hardstanding immediately over the bridge at Glendinning, adjacent to the river bank (GR LT 79 NY298969), where vehicles should be parked. This car park is private land and technically part of a working farmyard. Vehicles are parked there at their owner’s risk. The farm track heading north up from Glendinning is a private road and strictly intended for the use of farm vehicles such as tractors and quad bikes. A notice displayed at Glendinning clearly states that there is no unauthorised vehicular access to Greensykes. The same restriction applies to all other farm and forestry tracks in the area.
