After a good scrape of the car windows I left the lodge at Killin and headed on over to Innerwick in Glen Lyon via the Lawers road, with some icy sections evident, but on the whole fine with no problems really, some difference for the same date last year when there was utter turmoil as cars were sliding all over the place with most being abandoned at lower levels. When I was gaining height I found there was another car in front of me, I was to follow this car to the starting point carpark where I was headed. After a wee chat with the couple of lads who were in the car that I had followed I left the car at the signposted carpark on the Megernie Estate at 0845hrs and headed on the track that entered the West side of the carpark. It was going to be a fine cold and dry day.

- View of the church and Innerwick from the South West ridge. You can see a distinctive sheep pen near the roadside and I headed down towards the East side of it as there was a roadside gate nearby to allow my to walk the last few yards on the road back to the carpark. I should not have worried about daylight and time I was off the hill and back at the car at 1415hrs

Nice area this Rod, though not the easiest to get to during winter conditions. I did a nice circuit a few years back, taking in the Graham as well. It was a mad rush getting back for work though, only just made it with 5 minutes to spare

Looks like a nice wee day out Rod. Two good winter hills which must be why I did them both in the month of July!

Hi JC, just made them before the snow came, I believe there was snow up Glen Lyon yesterday, I fancy going over the road at Lawers to get there in bad conditions. I read your report but I thought I woudn't have time, must be gettting faster in my old age

Thought I had better start knocking off some Perthshire hills, and hope to continue throughout the winter. Glad the weather stayed good after missing the previous Sunday. By the way you looked really cold on the Saturday hill at the WH meet. Hope to see you again soon up a hill no doubt!
Cheers Rod. Aye, the Mamores route that day had it's moments but I've experienced a lot colder, and suspect I may yet experience much colder before this winter is out!
