Not very inspiring, the most exciting thing was dodging cow pats in the grass. The road ran to within 5 minutes of the top. From the high point, looking south to the Muirshiel Country Park hills.....

and looking west in the general direction of the Clyde coast.....

I was on my way to the MBA AGM at Roybridge, the weather was dull with heavy rain forecast but it would have been a shame to pass a TuMP that I hadn't climbed, especially as it was all of 10 minutes from the road.....
 

Despite its lack of height, it was a good viewpoint for eastern Grey Corries. Stob a'Choire Mheadhoin.....

Stob Coire Sgriodain and Chno Dearg.....
 

and along Glen Spean to Beinn a' Chaorainn.....

Participants: Neil and Ben

Where: Righead Hill (Kincardine on Forth), 95m/312', P 36m, TuMP, OS 65, NS 976 881

 

A cracking late autumn day but with an icy arctic wind. A low lying hill was in order so I returned to the Devilla Forest to climb Righead Hill and take in some of the forest trails. Ben in the forest.....
 

 

Ben at the trig.....

Looking east to Saline Hill.....
 

 

Looking north to the Ochils.....

There is a whopping big gate across the track but fortunately, a few yards away, the fence was down. I walked a couple of hundred yards along the track then, at a clump of rhodies, set off up through the trees....

It was a pleasant wee wooded area, the highest point is hereabouts.....

 

Then on to Aberfoyle to take Ben for a walk.
