They don't come much easier than this! Cairnpapple Hill

Ascent: 35m

They really don't come much easier than Cairnpapple Hill do they? Visited the nearby cairn and henge first, which gave ample opportunity to check that the hill was clear of cows, before driving round to the small car park at Knock Hill and walking back up towards the gate. Initially I planned to take the dogs but on reaching the gate it was padlocked and no easy way to get them over so I took them back to the car leaving them with my OH while I went back up the road, climbed the gate and walked over to the trig point. So this became my only my second solo hill without being joined by any of my dogs!

Headed up the Knock on the way back, which was a lot more interesting!
