A tale of two hills

[Ian Bayne]

An early start due to the yellow thing in the sky . Both these hills done ASAP before the dog (and me) started to overheat. Started off at 0700hrs at the Littlerig parking area this was going to be pretty basic just follow the track . Looked at the reports on this hill and opted for the easy route seeing it was sunday no loggers about so ignore the warning signs followed the track to the end at the top of the hill ( the track then becomes a firebreak ) On the right there is a fence and a slight track follow this over the dry stane dyke then 50m to the cairn A quick photo shoot then down the same route job done Got back to the car at 0900hrs then headed for Steeles Knowe via the River Devon just below the dam so the dog jake could have a dook .
Got to the wee parking area at the start of the service road for the windmills . This again was going to be a route 1 Starting to get warm now drop the pack two bottles of water for me and the dog then took the track to the top of the hill to windmill 6 . Not a breeze so the monstrosities were still no cups of tea from this lot . Once you get to No6 you can pick up the faint atv track and this takes you to the cairn then back to the car time finnished 12 noon a good morning out sod the tennis a pina colada and the sun lounger to catch the rays . This is what hill walking is about.
