Westies Ochils Run

SAT 7 FEB 2009

A cracking trundle in the deep snow. Starting from Dollar, myself, Moira, Stuart and Andy headed up Dollar Glen to Castle Campbell. We then took the snowy trail on the right of way through Glen Quey, hanging a left at the end of the reservoir on to the ridge. Deep snow made it hard going up to Innerdownie and Whitewisp, breaking through the crust alternating with falls into deep snow and trotting easily on icy patches. From Whitewisp we made a beeline for the Castle and back down Dollar Glen, for lunch in Castle Campbell Hotel.3hrs 8mins and about 12 miles and 920 metres ascent. A classic day out.
