A group of five of us walked this straightforward Corbett from Millden. The landrover track now runs pretty well all the way to the summit with a wide gap in the electric fence having now been formed. It is no longer, therefore, necessary to straddle or climb over the aforementioned fence!

Extended the day a bit by ascending over Hill of Saughs and descending down Bennygray and Mount Een.
As mentioned by others, the Land Rover tracks are much more extensive than shown on the OS map.

Done on a fine day in a round from Milldens Lodge Glen Esk on the landrover tracks virually all the way. Easy, pleasant walk but views other than over to Hill of Wirren, Clach na Ben & Mount Keen limited by haze.
The electric fence is nuisance & I had to straddle it over to get to the cairn & back to start down again. An Irish Wolfhound bounding toward me, like previous comment, felt the full force of the fence too, judging by it howl.

Don't be fooled by the broken down nature of the electric fence. Goodness knows where the power comes from but I tried to keep the trailing wires under my boots to allow my friend and two dogs to cross but one of the dogs trod on the wire which resulted in a fair bit of yelping!

The boundary line shown on the map which runs across the summit is an electric fence. The summit cairn and trig point lie inconveniently on the north side of the fence!
If approaching from Wester Cairn there is a short insulated section about 100m before the summit where it is possible to cross.
If approaching from Hill of Saughs, there is a spring ‘gate’ where it is possible to cross just before reaching Hill of Saughs.

Climbed this mountain from Glen Esk to the south. Extremely easy ascent on landrover tracks, wide variety of birdlife too on the heather moors. A bit of a tramp that would be a little tedious in poor weather/visibility.
