Walked up to Meikle Bin from Kilsyth Golf Club and had intended to descend into Queenzieburn. However, ascent was unpleasant - pretty trackless until I got on the ridge. So instead walked back along ridge via Garrel Hill and Tomtain to Tak ma Doon Road. Now think we'll do your ascent from Todholes and along ridge to Tak ma Doon road. Cars at each end and snorkels for the boggy bits. The ridge wasn't too boggy once I'd found a bit of a path. Walked about 13 miles today but projected walk will only be 8 or so.Paul (Early Ooters)http://earlyooters.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-84892085063793326952009-11-29T19:35:27.417+00:002009-11-29T19:35:27.417+00:00Congrats on your mention in the Scottish Mountaine...Congrats on your mention in the Scottish Mountaineer,and of course blogging the Pendicles of Collymoon(As of today,Google page 2,third entry)The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-83265018702088554112009-11-26T22:30:18.394+00:002009-11-26T22:30:18.394+00:00as well as yours stravaiger- you top the list (wel...as well as yours stravaiger- you top the list (well after chris townsend and cameron mcneish but they had to mention those 2 ! )Brian and Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740733239159089093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-28930762774374330552009-11-26T14:15:35.698+00:002009-11-26T14:15:35.698+00:00Brings back memories! once cycled up the Meikle th...Brings back memories! once cycled up the Meikle though had to carry it up from the burn at the back.<br />btw - your blog is mentioned in this month's Scottish Mountaineer!Alistairhttp://stravaiger.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-80188726459498665542009-11-25T23:06:29.236+00:002009-11-25T23:06:29.236+00:00Must have been some impact to send the debris all ...Must have been some impact to send the debris all the way down to the loch..!

I assume you didn't go chasing the other pieces of the plane? <br /><br />I've still to update my ever expanding "Tail" on this hill as I received an email from a gentleman who owns the fishery telling me there are bits of the plane in the reservoir which can be seen in low water...along with some of the buildings that stood there before the valley was flooded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-64550945713602797962009-11-25T15:59:19.027+00:002009-11-25T15:59:19.027+00:00It says something about the weather when even we a...It says something about the weather when even we are struggling to post a sunny entry for the last two weeks in November.
