Ben Cleuch circular from Tillicoultry. Walkhighlands route | hummusg | 23/09/2023 |
Dedicated parking in Alva 100m N of golf club car park (NS885976). PF up the Alva Glen, crossing burn several times, then sticking to zig zags on steep W flank until gate and stile. Through gate, thin path fades out, then zig zag up on grass between bracken, to gully up Wee Torry (not recommended in descent unless you’ve been up this route before), on to Mid Cairn, then Bengengie Hill. ATV tk to Blairdenon Hill and round to Craighorn before col at NN888010, then pathless to col at NN894005 and up to Ben Ever. Up Ben Cleuch, greatly assisted by the wind, on to Andrew Gannel Hill and col at NN928004, up King’s Seat Hill and back to col. FP down E flank of Gannel Burn seems to be falling into disuse. Back along A91 to Alva, to give wind a chance to dry everything out | Isbjorn | 21/09/2023 |
