Dad and I did this walk because I complained
about being stuck in the middle of a cloud at home. Yes - Glasgow was
covered in an inversion, with no sign of blue sky above. But if
Glasgow's in an inversion you can bet your bottom dollar the Campsies
will be sunny and usually warm.
So we drove to Lennoxtown where the cloud started clearing and as we
gained height on the Crow Road, we came out the top.
We parked at the top to the road and headed up the hillside. I hadn't
been up this hill for over two years. That time there had been many
people up, now there was none. But dad and I strolled up, taking
pictures or gawping (at least in my case literally!) at the immense
scenery.
Dad turned around after a while but I continued to the first top on the
hill, Crichton's Cairn which seems to be the name of the cairn on top
rather than the hill itself. Whoever Crichton was. Anyway - after a
quick visit and a wee panorama (can't resist) I turned around and headed
back too, catching dad near the bottom.
We drove back to Glasgow and back into the cloud. I was glad that at
least for a while, we could poke our heads out the top and observe. Damn
I love this weather.

Note: To explain the lack of times at the
bottom - the camera time settings were not correct in both cameras. I
remember setting off 11.25am but nothing else. I estimate duration as 1h 30m. |
