11 of us drove up to Clatteringshaws Loch visitors centre and set off to the radio mast on Benniguinea Hill.
Here's the view to today's main objective, Cairnsmore (Black Craig of Dee). 531 metres. An apt subtitle would be 'Tussocks'.
After climbing through the tussocks, lunch on the summit was most welcome.
The descent started with some convenient granite slabs.
It soon degenerated to deep tussocks, a test for all our knees.
A short stroll along the quiet main road took us past the Clatteringshaws dam - a larger structure than appears at first sight.
Today's walk was 11km with 500 metres ascent, taking a shade over 4 hours. Here's our route:
A bit envious of your trotting about in Scotland but good to see the results. There seem to be a huge number of apparently purposeless tracks on that map?
