Via Bishop's Glen with the wonderful Argyll Mountaineering Club, One of the best views of the Clyde I've seen. | DavieRuts | 06/08/2023 |
Parked at Bishops Glen car park, followed tracks up to Elligan (note these are not all on 1:50k map, only recent 1:25k os maps). Followed fenceline to Bishops Seat then to col below Black Craig, up to cairn then summit of Black Craig. On return followed fence down to junction of Bishop Seat fence, then kept going along fence to South to meet track coming out corner of forest on Horse Seat. Followed tracks and paths down to Bishops Glen. 10 miles, Lovely 6hr day out including stops, and not too bad underfoot, but it has been a very dry sunny week. | JulieB | 22/04/2023 |
