Baton Bing- a newly "discovered" TuMP

8 July 2019
 
Participants: Just me
Where: Baton Bing, 277m/909', P 39m, TuMP, OS 65, NS 876615
 
It was a bright morning but with rain forecast for later and a wet forecast for the rest of the week. So I decided to get a TuMP in and the nearest interesting one not yet climbed was this newly discovered one, an old bing north of Shotts. It was only a short walk from the road and there was a convenient lay by at the start.


Because it is situated in a very flat area, the views from the top are excellent. Looking north-west with Stuc a'Chroin and Ben Vorlich visible on the horizon......
 
 
The view north-east with the Campsie Fells on the left and the Bathgate Hills on the right.....
 
 
The view south-east to the Pentland Hills......
 
 
The view south-west over Shotts.....
 
 
I feel that I am warming to these Bing TuMPs!
