Kilpatricks Hill Run

It's been a couple of years since I ran here, started from the hillwalkers car park at the end of the Erskine Bridge, took the old Kilpatrick Hill race route on the way up, fine for the first mile or so until crossing over the moor, the old path almost invisible, slow trudge through heather and tussocks. Path reappeared up on to the short ridge. Forest road round Loch Humphrey then boggy path to the three Duncolms, over them on the way out, past them on the way back. Took the trail to The Slacks just after Loch Humphrey on the way back. A few walkers, runners and mtbs out in the hills on a fine autumn afternoon.
