Stoneymollen double

With the barometer rising the best weekend for a while so had to get out on some sort of hill. Limited time to run so managed two short runs.

Saturday, ran along to the giant steps and up behind the Carman reservoir, then the usual trek along sheep tracks and paths through the quarry and onto Carman and Bromley moors. Great views of the Clyde and Loch Lomond, both covered in pleasure boats all taking advantage of the beautiful day. Met a few walkers taking it all in. Ran along to the top of Stoneymollen ariving in 58 minutes and all that means. Down the Stoney and along the bypass, back home in 80 mins.

Sunday ran over to Cardross. Ran up the road to the radio mast then onto the hill through chest high bracken and managed to surprise a ditch or two eventually coming out behind the quarry. Half way down the quarry took the farm roads into the back of Cardross, 65 minute run arriving just in time for tea.
