Nice wee Sunday stroll up and down Conic Hill at Balmaha :D
Lovely day - pleasant warm sunshine with a nice breeze
Plenty of daywalkers and West Highland Wayers - the morning shift from Drymen
Many of them carrying full packs but a some who had obviously taken advantage of the bag transporting service

A great little hill with views that befit a hill of greater stature. One of my favourites :)
