Walk: Cononish Gold Mine
Ascent: 185m
Breaking the trip with a short walk for the good lady. Last year we had watched the documentary series about the goldmine so it was an opportunity for her to actually see the location of the mine. Albeit from a distance but vehicles were moving about the entrance but not a great deal to get excited about. The weather forecast was for sunshine and showers which turned out to be a lot of showers, some heavy rain and very little sunshine. The low clouds also meant she didn't get to see the higher summits of Oss & Lui. The River Cononish was impressive in full spate, slate grey matching the skies.
Still a pleasant enough ramble, the first of a few low level walks for this week.
Distance: 9.43km
Time: 2.08
Wildlife: Blue Tit; Great Tit; Raven; Meadow Pipit.
