| 4th hill of a rainy day route from Maybole to Girvan, climbing Knockbrake (plus Craigdow out and back) Kirk and Quarrel Hill, dropping onto a minor road near a stretch of woodland, stopping off under a large Beech tree where I had food and changed my socks turning at Drummuck onto another mninor road and where it drops away near Craighead I climbed a gate and up gorse bank up over another fence past skittish cows to the TRig and over to the highest point SW of the trig. I got 168.50m at NS2252 01325. Descent Sw to large field, followed edge then across to railway bridge to B741, climbing fence into field with crops but used tractor tracks to cross over to the Baron's stone of Kilochan. Onwards to next Hill: Saugh Hill. | Dazingdale | 15/05/2017 |
