Climbed this hill to take some photos for work. It was on the day of our Christmas night out, and also our Christmas jumper day, so while I was almost late for the meal as a result of the hillwalk, I did manage to wear a festive jumper for my 'shift'.
Some surprisingly Highland-ish scenery in the glen to the North (Glen Scaur)
We went a detour to Polskeoch first.
Polskeoch Bothy
The perils of working in winter.
Could be Glencoe! Almost... This glen is a real hidden gem, to the extent that it doesn't even appear to be named on OS.
Headed round to Glen Dalwhat (also not named?) and parked up on the grass at the side for the hillwalk
Simplest instructions ever for a hillwalk: follow the ridiculously steep firebreak to the top. The Fara-esque...
Aha! One of the four Striding Arches constructed around this valley. One is in the valley itself (joined onto a house), one is at Benbrack and the other is at Colt Hill.
The climb was quite uncomfortably steep, but short, and the views were pleasant at the top
Wintry haze over Wether Hill
Well, rather down than up. The ground was uneven here but there were rumblings of a path most of the way.
See, I had a Christmas jumper! For the greatest football team that ever played...
Job done so headed through the Lowther Hills and back to Glasgow
