Ardmore

Decided on a lower level run as the forecast was for snowy showers and wind on the hills. Started out in bright sunshine.

Climbed Mount Malow and down towards Carman quarry turning off on a farm track towards Cardross, came out just behind what was the Priest College.

Still some paths through here although not maintained, the old castle hasn't changed much apart from some graffiti and the ivy we used to climb up on the front of the castle has been cut away. Ran down to Cardross shore and along to Ardmore.

Round the point and I could see a few dark clouds approaching started up the Red Road, snowy sleet started as I reached the black Third farm.

The sky quickly cleared as I crossed the moor on the Three Lochs Way/John Muir Trail into the Vale, finishing in just over three hours.
