i worked many years ago digging the footpath around high bulough reservoir .we uncovered the stone steps ,the iron gate & ladder is visable giving access to the farm above.the original path ran at the level of the wall at the top of the hill & was very tricky to walk safely. the stone steps seemed to me to be a suitable starting point.other people say it started at the far end of the reservoir but there is absolutely no sign of any ladder at all. i have not updated any of my photos for a while ,i forgot about them will have do get out snapping

in the centre of the shot the stadium spotlights can just be seen
