Where: Mugdock Hill, 139m/456', Tump, OS 64, NS 558761
I had a couple of hours to kill today while Ben was at the groomers so drove to Milngavie for a walk at the reservoirs also taking in Mugdock Hill. The round of the reservoirs is a grand walk; I didn't have time for all of it today but I have done it before. Highly recommended. Today it was just a case of parking at Drumclog, a short walk round part of Mugdock reservoir and up the hill. After the reservoir, there was a road initially, then I went through a broken fence and up and across a field to arrive at a summit area which had a lot of reeds. The highest point seemed to be a grassy area next to a wall. The hill was much less interesting than the reservoir walk as the view was almost totally obscured by trees and other vegetation. It was typical April weather, bright sunshine but with heavy showers about and quite windy.

I like Mugdock as even when busy it's big enough to escape onto minor paths few folk know about and you can go for hours without seeing anyone if you avoid the popular trails in the park.
