Hi everybody,

Starting point of my favorite cliff hike in the Campsie Fells is Strathblane, just at the Church - following up the street direction east and then by the first possibility through a gate and into the field before heading up to the Binnen crags. I tried them already three times but couldn't find a safe way up, the rock is just to loose for my personal comfort level - anyway I just headed up the steep gras bit next to the crags and then followed all the way long to Jenny's Lum and the black Craigs just along the Cliff. It is a truly amazing nice walk which is completely unique in the Campsie Fells and I highly recommend it to everyone. After reaching the Black Craig's I went up to Slackdhu always next to the Cliff before heading finally up to Slackdhu and returning via the normal way to the car at Strathblane. This is one of the best hike the Campsies have to offer in my opinion!
