Participants: Just me
Where: Brown Hill, 344m/1,129m, P 31m, TuMP, OS 63, NS 245565
I suppose that Brown Hill is the TuMP top of the Marilyn, Blaeloch Hill. The latter is now home to a wind farm but Brown Hill is fortunately clear. The access road for the wind farm however provides easy access to the hill and there is a large car park at the start so its not all bad......
I followed the track to around the 280m contour before taking to the hill. Other reports that I have read talk about bogs but after the long dry spell, there were none of those today. The highest point was on the easternmost rise but the best views were from its near neighbour a few yards away to the west. The high point is unmarked and from it, the tops of the Arran hills can be seen poking out.....
Looking down on Muirhead reservoir.....
The view to Arran, Cumbrae, Bute and Kintyre from the west bump.....
A pleasant, short walk.
