Glad to get out for a short walk....Cruach Tairbeirt

Hill: Cruich Tairbeirt
Category: Sub2K
Height: 415m
After a week of storms it was still not walking weather for the higher slopes but there was a glimmer of hope for a lower one today. Forecast looked ok! 
A check though my hills map showed that my closest unclimbed Sub2k was the shortish drive up Loch Lomond to Tarbert and get this one off my to-do list, it has been hanging about for too long. The views are said to be excellent.
I had company from Iain today so not a solo venture.
Previous reports have mentioned an irate local lady if you park at Tarbert train station so being cowards we parked down at the cruise boat parking area, plus it has a free loo.
The walk is a short one so no hassle to do the extra stint to the train station and enter the woods. Under the railway bridge then up the obvious track. 
More ruined stone wall dyke boundaries on the track
Take a right turn and follow it through the pleasant woods up to the forestry work.
There is a standard route up through the trees but when the deforested area is hit the fun starts as the track ends. Well not quite ending but does not go where we want to go.
The area is meant to be ‘no go’ because of the ongoing forestry work but today……..It seems everywhere I have been recently that there has been forestry work.
Today there was neither sight nor sound of operations so it did not affect us but there was machinery around so forestry operations are still ongoing.
No path just over the rough stuff and into the trees
The next section was scrambling over the debris to reach the trees. Thankfully this section inside the trees was pretty good walking and before long we could see light and were out of the trees.
It's steeper out of the trees
Still it was good to get out of the trees even if the gradient went up just a bit and the breathing got faster!
Good spot for a cuppa the top ahead
A short moorland crossing and we came across a reasonable path from our left but not sure where it came from, Arrochar maybe?
It was now much colder and damper with the clouds lowering themselves as we ascended. 
A'Chrois
The temperature had dropped, as evidenced by the new light snow dusting A’ Chrois which was just across the way from us, hopefully would not get us.
Summit on right but trig not visible 
We kept on the decent path, very wet underfoot but clear to follow.
It was not before long when we reached at the trig, hidden until the last moment and just 90 minutes from the car park. I had hoped for better views but not to be today. 
Looking down Loch Lomond Luss hills on right
Still we could see both Loch Lomond and Loch Long at the same time, not many walks you can do that on. The Arrochar and Luss hills were all covered in their grey shrouds A good excuse to come back on a blue sky day and see the real view.
Coming down if you can avoid slipping good views
On the descent we followed our original path until we found a junction so decided to be brave and explore. Very wet and slippy, took a nice heel slip, a hard smack, thought I had damaged my wrist, no doubt will find out soon.
Typical tree section
The track brought us into the trees further down than our ascent and natures fallen trees gave us a bit of scrambling exercise. Some very sharp protruding edges on these obstacles, great care required on these slippery trees.
Then we simply followed the trail back to the railway and to the car park at Tarbert.
Well that was another Sub2k ticked off. I was delighted to get out for a walk and thanks to Iain for the patter as we went round. 
Another good day experienced in our great country.

Wildlife: Chaffinch yes that was it.

First walk of the year is Merlin's circuit....Pykestone Hill to Drumelzeir Law

Hill: Pykestone Hill; Middle Hill; Drumelzier Hill
Category: Donald x 3
Height: circa 800m
How to find Merlin's grave
Three days into the New Year and it is great to be out with friends to get our first hills of the year achieved. Thankfully these rolling border hills are close enough together to allow us to bag a few together.
The start of our walk is from Drumelzier where the mighty wizard Merlin is allegedly buried. There is a plaque marking the spot but it is off our route so not an objective for today. But it is very possible that he tramped these same hills.
We would normally have our first walk on the 2nd but the forecast was bad for yesterday. Today should be dry but cloudy and possibly very high winds.
We planned a clockwise ascent heading for Pykestone Hill as our first top.
Good weather when we started our walk by crossing the half hidden footbridge and going up behind the cottage, they must get fed up of walkers passing their windows.
Looking over to the ascent of Pykestone, through V in trees and follow grassy track
We initially followed the burn but backtracked and crossed the burn at the first bridge. It turned out there was another footbridge further on. We followed the wide, soft grass track up towards Pykestone Hill. What a joy to walk on.
Heading for the trees, Pykestone left & Drumelzeir on right.
The low sun did hinder photos but looking to our side we are flanked by the steep slopes of Drumelzier Law. Looking through the gap, in the distance, the ariel on Broad Law and a few others big and small.
We caught the group ahead at Pykestone trig
A nice climbing gradient but a very chilly wind, time to get hat and gloves on.
Before you know it Pykestone Hill trig is reached. 
Looking back to the trig from the cairn
There is a small cairn about 100 metres away, is it higher? Just in case I crossed the fence and went over but GPS suggests it is two metres lower.
Great views particularly looking back. The nearby hills have cloud cover and some rain but down towards Peebles and the east the sun is shining.
Now we are on the fenceline and the boggy section is the next portion although to be fair I expected worse. The weather briefly catches us with some sleet and hail but it is short lived. The Thief's Road path can be seen climbing up the flanks of Dollar Law but the top disappears in cloud. It can be added on to this route but we leave it for another day. Our walk continued towards Long Grain Knowe, where I realised that my GPS watch has slipped off my wrist. I last looked at it just below Pykestone Hill but it could be anywhere since, a few curses.
Middle Hill summit looking to Culter Fell
Followed the fence to Middle Hill crossing over said fence to the summit marker posts. Still enjoying the views.
From Middle Hill looking at the cone shape of Drumelzeir Law
We backtrack at an angle heading for the shepherd's cairn to hide behind for a brief refreshment stop. Feel like temperature in the wind must be close to minus figures.
There is a descent first!!
The descent and climb up Drumelzier Law looks imposing from here but the reality is fine. The only one of these hills today with a true mountain shape.
First cairn on Drumelzeir Law
The first cairn reached is superior to the higher one slightly further up the hill.
This is a super viewpoint looking far and wide and taking in all of our route.
The valley and road to Moffat, Worm Hill on right
Looking down the green valley and across to Worm Hill there is a very large cairn for a small hill on top. Later find out it is a prehistoric ritual & funeral cairn. Looks a wee toughie to climb, doubt they held many rituals up there. If you take a look at the OS map there are numerous forts and settlements around here.
Sun briefly comes out looking over to the Broughton hills
A slightly meandering descent allows us time to take in the impressive views before meeting up with the outward track.
The rains come on for a brief soaking but we have been lucky today.
First walk of the year and if I enjoy them all as much it will be another good year.

Wildlife: Red Grouse; Meadow Pipit; Wood Pigeon.

Ascent: 1026m
Distance: 16.3km

Final Walk of the year....The Fruin at last

Hill: The Fruin
Category: Sub2K
Height: 361m

Last walk of 2019 so it had to be a new hill. Looking at my map this was the nearest driving from home so time to get it done.
In truth I had been putting it off because of its reputation. Walkhighlands description ‘The Fruin is a wet moorland above the Faslane Nuclear Base between Glen Fruin and the Gare Loch’. Wet being the polite way to say a sodden boggy hard tramp across featureless terrain, walk reports concur.
Still the forecast was for beautiful blue skies and great views, this might not be high and a sod to get to but the views will more than compensate.
Misty start
Or so I thought. Still dark when I defrosted the car and set off. When I reached the Erskine Bridge it was dense fog and this continued all the way to the walk start, what had I done?
Here anyway so off I set along a familiar path, the 2nd section of the Three Lochs Way, reminder finish that off as well this winter.
How old is this cracker?
Plenty of old trees in this wood with stories to tell, who does not like old gnarled trees? 
Good news was that the direction I was going did have blue skies and sunshine. But, the landscape has changed since my last visit. The upper trees in Highlandman’s Wood, which you skirt is being deforested but thankfully no workings today.
Head for the treeline and blue skies
Leave the main path to head up the moor. There is a noticeable swathe through the moor, the cattle have been here and their big heavy weights sink into the ground creating huge water and mud filled holes. No other way to go so just plough through. 
Looking back still blanketed in fog
After about 100 metres of gloop the ground hardens and is now just moss water traps to sink into.
I spot a pair of roe deer looking at the carnage, thinking that used to be our home!! 
Followed this track upwards to the trees and the dyke, scramble over the wet fence and surprised on the other side to see a narrow track continuing to the first high point at Tom na h-Airidh. Already the views are picking up with the Luss hills on the right particularly standing out.
Air vents, what lies below?
Secret Scotland up here as well. Spotted these air vents so something is hidden under the moor, MOD secrets.
The frustrating bit is that this point is only 7 metres lower than The Fruin. I can see it ahead. It is about a kilometer away but the terrain in between is where The Fruin fully merits its reputation.
No tracks and the moor has been prepared for tree planting at some point in the past so regular deep channels are another obstacle. Not hard going but great care needed, reminds me of Tullich Hill.
A fence is running on my right so I head for it in the hope of better terrain, nope.
Another junction fence reached and at this one I should have crossed sideways as there was a good path on the other side, unseen from here, which I found and used on my descent, much easier.
Still more wading through very soft grassy areas where you went in deep at times. The previous mud all gone, boots clean, this is just pure Scottish water.
Three red deer hinds appear, got a blurred snap but far too big to be anything else.
Another barbed wire fence, I crawl under the bottom. The top is just over there but next barrier is a big gate, locked of course, with wire across the top to hinder climbing over it. It is either this or the barbed wire, the farmer is obviously not keen on walkers.
Small cairn then about 20 metres away a slightly larger one, another one done. Time to take in the views and enjoy my flask of soup. The fog is still full on down below but up here superb views. I have often said you get more for your money on the small hills and this is another perfect example.
Luss Hills
A cracking view across Glen Fruin to the Luss Grahams of Chaorach and Mhanaich with The Strone ridge, memories of a very warm day.
Arrochar Alps and typical terrain in foreground
Of course the Arrochar Alps are all clear, another different angle to admire The Cobbler. 
Arran & the mast
Arran hills stand out above the fog and nearer a mast pokes through the cloud. This is brilliant and worth the effort, just 90 minutes to the top.
Time to descend. Staying east of the dyke the path was good until the fence junction. Then back over and the slog to Tom na h-Airidh where I speak to the only other person I saw on the hills, but he is a local and not daft enough to go onto The Fruin.
On descent western fog lifting
Reversed my route, took in the views, thought of the people below the cloud blanket unaware of how good it is nearby.
Last barrier still foggy down in Helensburgh
Objectives fulfilled for today, a short walk, another hill bagged and the end of a first class walking year stacked full of memories.
Time for a dram or two, Happy New Year.

Wildlife: Roe Deer; Red deer; Wood Pigeon; Snipe; Meadow Pipit; Redwing: Redshank; Carrion Crow.

Still rambling alongside the Clyde. Strahclyde Park - Crossford

Walk: Clyde Walkway; Strathclyde Park - Crossford
Category: Long Distance Walk
Height: n/a

The blasted lurgy had still not cleared but I desperately needed an outing so a low level solo effort was required. I wanted the River Clyde Walkway completed this winter so another leg of this was ideal.
Gaiters on mud a theme today
Dropped off by the bus at the Park entrance and headed back to the road bridge underpass. Although it looked like the water had covered up here the sign posted short diversion was not required but gaiters on from the start. 
Impressive railway viaduct
Before long I was beside the massive Ross Viaduct pity about the spray painting. The path enters the RSPB Barons Haugh Reserve and the first issue of the day, eroded banking so a diversion away from the Clyde.
View from the hide
I had hoped to sit in a few of the hides but could only get to one of them and of course the birds were all over at the other hides.
As per previous reports there are next to no route markers so on this section the OS map was required to stop me going too far away from where I wanted to be.
At one point I was being steered inland so I decided to follow a private road back towards the Clyde. It thankfully became a track that eventually led me back to re-join the diverted walkway track. 
An example of the erosion
With all the recent rain there are large chunks of banking washed away at various sections, nature reclaiming its territory. 
Open countryside for a change

The guide said that the next section is often flooded in winter but thankfully I did not have to take the inland detour. It was nice to be walking beside the river again. 
No cows for once
Plenty of dirty sheep but thankfully no cows out today.
Sadly the grass track ends too soon and back on a hard surface passing a bridge carrying pipes over the river. Here you pass the ruins of a huge mansion, the Bishop of Glasgow's summer retreat apparently.
Bishops summer retreat
Away from the river again and up and through Highmainshead Wood.
At a cross section go right along the track until you hit the busy road.
Cross and head down to Cardies Bridge and turn right into Mauldslie Woods, a proper tree cut marker. 
Interestingly this section is non stop markers even when they are not required. I think the put the whole routes marker posts into this one section!!
Maudslie Bridge
The route is a mixture of riverside and woodland as it heads to Maudslie Bridge. I presume because the bridge is closed I was the only wanderer for many a mile.
Knowing the bridge was closed I had decided to push on to Crossford and hope that I would get there in time for the occasional rural bus, a long wait if I didn’t.
Reminds me of sections of the River Ayr
The finale today was a 4 mile section and it was at times very similar to my local River Ayr walk. Thankfully it stayed mainly beside the river with a few inland sections, to miss the big houses seeing walkers!
Where there are rivers there is industrial legacy and old ruins dotted here and there would be factory river inlets and outlets.
You also pass the remains of out buildings which belonged to Milton Lockhart House which no longer exists here. Unbelievably it was bought by a Japanese actor, dismantled, transported to Japan and rebuilt as was over three years, amazing.
Downriver view from Crossford bridge
The village of Crossford has plenty of expensive houses to look at as I make the approach to yet another bridge and the end of my walk.
A good walk particularly as it stayed dry. My son phoned and said it was hammering down in Glasgow. For once a sound decision. This area was the orchard of Scotland with plenty of indicators as to its past success.

Wildlife: Bullfinch; Buzzard; Wren; Cormorant; Dunnock; Gooseander; Blue, Great & Coal tits; Mallard; Wigeon; Wood Pigeon; Blackbird; Carrion Crow; Goldeneye; Magpie; Teal; Grey Squirell x 3.

A muddy River Clyde ramble. Cambuslang - Strathclyde Park

Walk: Clyde Walkway; Cambuslang to Strathclyde Park
Category: Long Distance Walk 
Height: n/a
I started this long distance walk last winter with the intention of completing it last winter. But I could not bring myself to get motivated for this section. I had read that it was full of diversions, through housing estates, beside motorways etc.
Be positive no such thing as a bad walk so deliver. Well I did and it was a mini adventure. Not nearly as bad as I feared although it did have its moments.
My warning to anyone completing it is to have either downloaded a gps route or have good notes. I had the notes and was grateful. You cannot go wrong surely along a river in an urban setting, oh yes you can.
One of the very few signposts
The route is minimal on signposts particularly when you need them. It is crisscrossed by cycle routes, other well made paths and diversions like the aforementioned new housing estates. I really needed my notes and used them in conjunction with my phone OS maps or I would have been heading in the wrong direction a few times.
Final point don’t forget the gaiters, this was a very muddy walk as my trousers testified.
Onto the walk which began at Cambuslang Station and head down to the cycle path opposite Morrison's Car park. 
Carmyle Weir
Go right along the path along the south bank of the Clyde passing the large weir at Carmyle. 
Muddy going starts here
Before long you reach a fork and left keeps you riverside as you go under the viaduct and the mud starts.
Watch the ducks on the river until you reach another fork and head up to the pylon. The track goes alongside the houses and then first big decision.
The track continues through the new estate but it felt correct to go left into the rough ground. I went through the estate before circling back to where I had been and headed into the rubbish. It felt right and I soon found a faint track, saw roe deer was it their track? Along the back fences of the housing and the track improved I was right after all.
I was having some doubts but came across the path with some brick paving (this was in my notes).
Finally found the bridge over the Calder
This took me to the footbridge over the Rotten Calder.
After crossing over a busy road follow the slightly inland wooded track until a left turn at a cycle route which took me back down to the Clyde and another bridge. Turn right and then left to cross the river on a footbridge.
Bothwell Castle
Cross over and go right keeping the river on your right until you encircle the ruins of Bothwell Castle. 
Fantastic ancient copiced tree
This section of the walk through a very old wood has some spectacular looking ancient trees which could tell a story or two.
The path continues through the woods and at another new housing estate take the right fork down to the river.
David Livingstone Memorial Bridge


Part of the floral tribute
When I crossed the David Livingstone Memorial Bridge it was said as there was a large floral tribute to a young lad who had committed suicide here recently, makes you think. Crossed the bridge and headed left where I got talking to an old worthy who informed the route ahead didn’t exist as the track was never completed!! Why oh why do the authorities continue to let outdoor activities down. These activities get people out getting fitter and it saves the NHS and us taxpayers a bloody fortune.
Viaduct ruins and the supposed dead end
The original Clyde Walkway kept ahead here and past the old Craighead viaduct and on the advice of said worthy I followed it. After the viaduct head over a grassy field which has been fenced off all round, presumably more housing. At the far end of the field part of the fence was down and after scrambling through the wood I climbed a wall back onto the cycle track. The worthy had said the wall was broken at one point and indeed I found it further on, would have saved me a climb. 
Bothwell Bridge
Shortly I arrived at Bothwell Bridge, crossed the road to the monument that marks the Battle of Bothwell Bridge, the downfall of the Covenanters battlefield. 
The original route followed some steps down and past some boardwalks. Previous reports said it was closed off but not today so off I went. Down I went and past the rotted boardwalks the track was clear at first then faded but looked as if it was still occasionally walked. My concern was that I was now walking parallel to the M74 and to get to the park this track would need to go under the motorway. A bit further on decided it wasn’t going to so back to the Bridge, another couple of mile detour. That night a study of a drilled down map showed the trail but staying this side so right decision made. Presumably the boardwalk section went through the newly constructed road network.
Shadow selfie
Now a traffic filled walk, crossing two footbridges before heading through a hotel and finally the park.
A rowing pontoon on the loch at Strathclyde Park
A choice walk the near side or far side. I chose the latter and as I reached I bumped into an old mate so ended up doing a circuit of the water, another 2 miles added to the walk, but he did drive me back to Glasgow.
So a bit of an adventure, muddy trousers and for the most part enjoyable and reasonably remote considering the urban nature. But for the next leg, gaiters with me.

Wildlife: Grey squirrel x 2; Roe deer x 2; Blue tit; Great tit; Coal tit; Greylag geese; Robin; Magpie; Crow; Little Grebe; Moorhen; Mallard.

Time: 4.46
Ascent: 72m
Distance: 14.92m (includes a few added extras, normal walk circa 11m)

2019 My walking year Roll of Honour

2019 Roll of Honour

It has been a superb year of walking with many, many highlights. 
I have listed below the new hills that I have ascended, a couple of hills already climbed but with a new ascent or descent, along with some excellent trail/path walks.

Among the very many I have picked 3 highlights:

1. Up at Fort William with Ayr & District I led the walk to the Sub2k of An Sgurr on Eigg. Although a lowly walk in some respects it was a dramatic and varied day fondly remembered by many who came along. The day involved a ferry trip and for a few the first look of the hill was from the ferry. Looking at the imposing stack of An Sgurr not sure how we would ascend. But we did and the views from the top stunning. Back at the ferry terminal tea and cake as well as a paddle for some. An excellent outing.

2. On the same Fort William trip a small group of us tackled the Grey Corries ridge, a dramatic day with more stunning scenery, just outstanding.

3. Last but not least the traverse of Bidean nan Bian from Glencoe. The low clouds disappearing from the summit as we lunched to let us view the magnificent surroundings followed by a very interesting descent into the Lost Valley.

I hope 2020 is just as special.
