Conic Hill Sun 14th May

With a 3 race week behind looked for a change of pace and location. Decided at the last minute to try Conic Hill, picking up the WHW at Drymen and following the route through fields and coniferous woodland. The WHW runs almost to the top of Conic Hill and it is only a small climb to get there. Climb was well worth it, good views of Loch Lomond from the Vale to Ben Lomond and on up to the Arrochar Alps. Started just after 8 and it was fairly quiet on the way out only passing about 3 small groups. Sun shone until just before Conic Hill when it clouded over. Returned by same route but v busy by now passing many groups up to 20 odd people in size. Just under 3 hours including a 25 minute detour through forest on the way out.
