A return to the Ochil Hills for Ben Thrush which is on the east side of Glendevon and most easily approached by the Green Knowes wind farm road. It is a fine viewpoint overlooking the glen and made a pleasant short walk.

I'm not sure that I approve of disused coal bings being included in the British Hills database, maybe in 30 or so years time when they are just another piece of high ground in the landscape. However, I see this one in the distance from my house every day so I just had to climb it......
I have to admit that it is a fine viewpoint. Looking over Kirkintilloch to the Campsie Fells.....
The summit and Kilsyth.....
South over Lanarkshire.....

I've cycled past that bing a few times on bike tours and thought of climbing it as it has a fairly dramatic profile. Popular with local trail bike riders anytime I passed it in summer.
