I'm a fit 27 year old but got knee surgery in February and haven't done a hill since the tail end of last year due to this. Looking for a hill with more of a path on the route up rather than a lot of scrambling. I've done the Arrochar Alps, Ben Lomond, Chabhair. Looking for a new (less challenging) for my first one back. Cheers
Probably a bit much of a drive but my first hill back after a knee op in early March was Carn Bhac, from Inverey, Braemar. A fairly easy cycle in to the ruined lodge, then a very easy angled ascent on foot, a nice wander down and a near freewheel all the way out.
Ben Lawers is probably your best/closest one for an easy ascent, with only the final slopes anywhere near steep. Ben Vorlich (Loch Earn) is another straightforward one (if done on it's own) .
