From the Donview Car Park, on the unclassified Monymusk to Keig Road, I followed sign-posted tracks and paths through forest and onto the open hillside.

I then climbed to the summit of the Marilyn, Millstone Hill.

Thereafter I Initially continued north-east along a path which swung east then south to re-enter the forest. More sign-posted paths led back to the car park.
