Hart Hill (Campsie Fells)

 18 May 2022

Participants: Just me

Where: Hart Hill, 437m/1,434', P 53m, Tump, OS 57, NS 697 884

Hart Hill is the twin of Cringate Law which I climbed a year or two ago. Both are within a wind farm. I accessed it by way of a really narrow road to the north of the Carron Valley leaving the car at a parking area at the end of the track that goes to the Earlsburn reservoirs. It was a bright day but there was a strong breeze which made taking photos on top somewhat problematical. Cringate Law (left) and Hart Hill (right) from the Carron Valley reservoir.....

The approach track.....

Earlsburn reservoir (No.2, there is another further north which I guess is No.1).....


Hart Hill from the reservoir, the going was easy on grassy slopes.....

The reservoir from Hart Hill, the hill beyond is another Tump, Earl's Hill.....

Almost there.....

Looking north, the hills of the Southern Highlands in view.....

And looking south over the Carron Valley to Meikle Bin.....

Apart from the wind, this was a pleasant short day out, in an area which I doubt sees many other walkers.
