Blaeloch Hill

Sub 2000s: Blaeloch Hill

Date walked: 25/02/2024

Distance: 7.4km

Ascent: 200m

At long last I had a short time available which coincided with decent weather. Not sure about the fitness level so a quick jaunt up a fairly local sub 2k seemed ideal. In the end I probably broke my unwritten rule of time on the hill being greater than the journey time there/back - was up and down in a little over 1hr20mins including stops.

Parked in the windfarm car park close to the crematorium. Off up the windfarm track.

Followed the track to the high point just before it dips down to a turbine. Then off over very boggy and choppy moorland to the summit. Not far to go off track so no great problems. Wandered round the top a bit.

There were signs of a faint atv track so followed it back over White Knowes and its cairn.

Down to the main track and followed it back to the car.
