This was my first walk for nearly 7 weeks due to being busy at work, terrible weather on days off and assorted family commitments. Also admit to being a bit apprehensive about tackling hills in Winter, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one...don't know how my legs will be tomorrow though.
The walk itself was pretty uneventful, but it was great to be out and about again and the views were fantastic from the summit, with even Ailsa Craig visible in the distance. However, it was cold enough to freeze the wotsits off a brass monkey at the top and there aint any shelter to be had there, so it was a brief rest then I got going again. Things I need from santa: thermal underwear, thermal gloves, thermal hat and something to warm a caramel wafer - nearly broke my teeth trying to eat it.
The route has been described by others much more eloquently than I could manage so here are a few pictures.
