Walkhighlands

I parked the the car at the start to the good, signposted track up Corlick Hill on the old Largs Road out of Greenock. It was a very pleasant stroll to this hill with good views over to my next two hills, Scroggy Bank and Dunrod Hill. I left the track, went over a small burn and ascended a well-used grassy track to the summit trig where I enjoyed the views over the Firth of Clyde. I retraced my steps back to the road and walked south for a few hundred metres until I came to the rough road leading around the north side of Loch Thom. Again, the walking was very easy and pleasant. Where the this road ended, a rougher (but made) path led up to the road leading from Overton to the Cornalees Bridge Centre. I crossed this and went up the rough hillside to reach the upper road and the summit of Scroggy Bank with its various masts. From here, yet another good track led south-west towards Dunrod Hill. At the end of this, I headed down over a burn towards a metal gate. Through this, I followed a rather wet, boggy path right up to the glistening white trig of Dunrod Hill, where I sat for a while in splendid isolation to enjoy some lunch and the panoramic views. Reluctantly, I left to follow my route of ascent back down to the car.
