Good starter for my new hobby as this was a fairly easy test. Good weather helped and some great views of Fife's rolling countryside. There is a guide at the top to the hills that you can see to the north which was really helpful. Quite popular as there is a car park at the east end which means a very shoet walk to the top. Better to park at Craigmead and you can walk both in 3/4 hours. Also you can extend the walk to the Bishop where hangliders are often seen.The west Lomond was a good walk and you can return by Hallo Farm as an alternative way back. Lots of wild birds and the Limekilns make it a bit more interesting
