Typical moor at the bottom but at least some trees |
Narrowly avoided a roe deer running under the car on the way here. I was 1st to arrive and sat in the car thinking they wont be coming, wait 10 minutes and home again but nutters they are and arrive they did.
I left the camera in car, could not afford another rain destroyed one so all snaps are from my phone.
Wet track its a bleak place |
Approaching bothy |
Hard graft |
Burn in spate |
Hill of Stake trig |
We crossed the moor to the old fence line, the boundary between Ayrshire and Renfrewshire and followed that up to Hill of Stake trig point. 2hours 20min to this point.
Up there I think? |
Misty Law |
Where is that rock? |
We only had one more burn to cross and it was in full flow so an awkward step onto a submerged boulder and then jump. All of the group made it without falling in but it was close for some. A bit of excitement to end the day.
Mountain goats final climb |
Finish in sight |
I will have to return to see the views but I will be picking the next day carefully, an excellent viewing day only and drier underfoot.
