This walk I summited the tallest peak in Renfrewshire - Hill of Stake. With travel options still limited, it's been a case of scouring maps to see what walks are within the limits. Fortunately the town of Lochwinnoch, the starting point for this walk, was just within 5 miles of the East Renfrewshire boundary.

This walk offers a great sense of remoteness, something I had been longing for recently.
