So again we had another day of sunshine and the day was too good not to go out in the shed or on foot, so I did both.
I piloted the shed to Glen Fruin. From last nights chat with the police officer of where to get good views, I thought I'd take their advice for once in my life.
I decided rather than take the new MOD road (A817) I would take the old Glen Fruin road that your turn right into before reaching Garelochead.
This is a run I do fairly often and I never get out the car, or if I do, I never venture far.
The old road is a wee single tracker and it starts off with some tight turns as it crosses under the West Highland line and then climbs up
Only moderately so but its a fair climb. 3000cc of turbo charged shed dismisses road like this
Being lazy I drove a little further one, and the road widens and you can park off it safely (near to where a path leads you onto MOD property).
I left the shed to basque in our spring sunshine and donned a pair of boots and headed into the Glen
I've lost track of how many times I have attacked Glen Fruin by car, I've been doing it for practically a decade. However, the MOD road cuts on the northern side, and the old road in the bottom. I've never seen it from this Angle
You cannot see this easily from either road, well a little from the old road. What is also afforded from getting off your lazy ass is the chance to walk along the ridge of a small hill and see over to another land mark in this area.
And Beyond to the Firth of Clyde
You could take this in all day, but it started to rain, and with nothing other than a tracksuit on, I made it swiftly back to the shed accross boggy terrain and drove off
