With T, 51 and 52 of 89.
Meadow pipit chick in nest in middle of path.
Also saw Golden Plover and Hen Harrier ... and 3 motorbikes.
Wanted to continue my bid to do Dun Rig horseshoe w/o the massive walk. So instead have split it into two massive (for me) walks instead.
Had wanted something easier to do since had not been up a hill since Feb for various reasons. Had Cademuir as an opt-out if necessary but ended up going for this after all. Heart and lungs held up but feet and thighs suffering a but by the end. Used Google Street view to identify the parking sport that is not marked on the map.
- On the slope of Chester Hill, looking towards Cademuir, car parki is the little nick in the forestry on the right
- Joined ATV track just beyond Juniper Craigs
- Stob Law with Tinto (I think) behind
- Great view of Pentlands and beyond to Arthurs seat and even the Forth
- Inspiring Donald top of Middle hill
- Inspiring top of Stob Law with Middle Hill behind
- Came down shoulder of Stob Law over the heather rather than via Canada - looked a bit quicker
