Across heather and through newly planted woodland from the Loch Doon cafe to Shear Hill and Carwaur. Then over similar terrain to Wee Hill of Glenmount. An increasing number of baby-heads to negotiate as I traipsed further south to take in Fence of Knockdon and the more interesting Doon of Waterhead, making use of ATV tracks and deer/sheep trods where these were available. NE to Big Hill of Glenmount before E to the Loch Doon road and a well earned butty and cuppa.summitter07/06/2023

Up from the cafe at the north end of Loch Doon. Some tussocky ground between the 322 point and the gate at NS46335 00956. Better way back following ATV tracks from the gate, keeping slightly lower on Glessel Hill. Beautiful day, and lovely views.LizH16/05/2019
