Participants: Neil and Ben
Where: Dungavel Hill, 458m/1,503', P 44m, TuMP, OS 71, NS 675 354
It was cloudier today but visibility remained excellent. I had looked at Dungavel Hill on the map and wondered how bad the forestry was. However, I needn't have worried, there was a good track and the paths from there through the trees to the open ground above were clear and obvious. There was space for the car at the start of the track; there is a mast there as well but it is surrounded by trees so you have to know that it's there if you're using it to identify the start point. The walk was straightforward, I followed the track until it reached a T junction and the path through the trees started opposite. Another path left this one close to the top edge of the trees and went to the summit, marked by a trig and a large cairn. This hill obviously gets a lot of visitors. The views were extensive.
Approaching the trig and cairn.....

The return followed the outward route.
