I did a different route for these 2 hills in winter starting at Broughton. They aint the highest hills but I've become quite attached to this area over the past 18 months. Maybe its because I couldn't travel any further during the big freeze - even the shortish drive down here was treacherous a couple of times.

Some nice pics :)

I did Trahenna during the winter after work. I started from where you rejoined the road. This is the forest you have a picture of next to the Muir burn when I was walking up.
