Dumglow for the first time.

Parked in quiet Cleish village and set off West on the road briefly for around a quarter of a mile then turned left through the gate and started uphill. Not a particularly steep gradient but lots of tree felling has been going on. Straight forward track until 2k in where it disappears but just turn left and follow the line of fallen over trees until you meet up with a track at the top where you turn left again. 3.2k in and you will meet a sign that points you right to Dumglow where you walk through a forest and pop out at a stile. Over the stile and continue pretty much straight ahead where you will meet up with the trig point with a view of the Ochils.

I took a slightly different route back down which was quite boggy but mostly a path to follow but did mean a 2.5k walk on the road back to the car.
