Where: Meall a'Choirie Odhar (Comrie), 357m/1,171', P126m, Hump, OS 57, NN 806 139
Some nice November sunshine. This Hump, to the east of the Auchterarder to Comrie Road, had tempted me to visit for a while. But the rough ground and lack of a parking place had put me off. Now, however, I had read that a small windfarm had been constructed at the summit and there was now a track network from a car park to the south of the hill, so off I went. It has to be said that it is not the most attractive hill with lots of forestry which has been cut down along the summit ridge to make way for the windfarm track but it was a walk with a new "bag". The track route is much longer than a direct attack from the road but at least there is a safe space to park.
From the north.....
Looking to the Ochils.....
Approaching the summit......
The high point is somewhere in the mess of brash left by the track and turbine excavations.....
