Tinto Hill

18 June 2013

Present - Neil, Steven and Ben
Where - Tinto Hill, 711m/2,334', Graham, Map 72, NS 953344

We went down to Lanarkshire with the prime objective of picking some strawberries. But I was so slow going up the hill that we didn't have time although as it happens it would almost certainly have turned out to be too early in the year for berries. The late spring seems to be having an effect.

I've blogged a Tinto ascent before so just some pictures this time. The start at the very much improved car park.....


They've built a new topograph since I was last here.....

 
 

Looking down on Dungavel Hill, a sub-2k, with the masts on the Lowther hills just visible in the background.....


The view over the Clyde valley to Culter Fell.....


And back down again, a bit faster than I came up.....

Not many strawberry picking places left Neil as some folk ended up eating more than they pick. I knew a family years back with five kids that treated it as an 'all you can eat' day out.
Great views from Tinto on a good day.
