Knockmountain

20 July 2019

 

Participants: Just me

Where: Knockmountain, 185m/607', P 32m, Tump, OS 63, NS 363 720

 

A wet morning turned in to a bright afternoon just in time to bag another Renfrewshire Tump- Knockmountain. This one is situated above Langbank. There was space to park the car at the entrance to Langside Farm and a gate a few yards up the road and almost hidden by dense vegetation led on to the hill. The going after the first few yards was easy, following sheep grazed pasture with a view of the hill ahead.....

 

 

There were fine views over the Clyde with Auchendores reservoir close by.....

 

 

and to the Muirshiel hills to the south.....

 

 

A style took me over a fence into the wood and by following a rough path to the left I was able to avoid all dense trees etc. and make my way easily to the top......

 

 

No view from the actual high point but the walk to it made up for that.
