Set off on a clockwise circuit of Glen Finlas parking at the bottom of the new road and set off up Shantron hill as the sun rose, cold with high broken cloud. Ground soft, wet and as your feet sink in almost every step toes soon like lumps of ice.
Conditions change as you go further up the glen. The wind picks up so you need to keep moving but the ground was frozen, much better as your feet don't sink in and finally get a chance to warm up.
Good views from the top of the Glen where the usual wind gusts down Glen Luss and into Glen Finlas.
Return route means a run through the dreaded peat hags, managed to avoid the worst with a couple of detours and soon on the steep descent past Mulea Plantation. 10 miles with 2900' of ascent in just under 2 3/4 hours. A few pics in the Galleria
