Approx 14 Westies (and Jason's dog) made the trek over the campsies to Culcreuch Castle near Fintry for this nice blast up and down to Stronend. This was about 12 more than last time I was there with Chris, so was a great improvement.I felt like the Pied Piper as we set off as no one else seemed to have a clue where to go. I managed to find the tracks and trods that took us steeply up to the escarpment, where we then had a runnable plod on narrow trods to the Stronend trig/cairn. There were great views north taking in Ben and Loch Lomond, the Trossachs and what looked like Stuc and Ben Vorlich. Afterwards we descended en masse to the Dungeon Bar in the Castle, and then ascended back out thirsty after 15 min of non-service at the bar. Their loss was The Fintry Inn's gain and knocked back those orange juices to the sound of the local musicians having a wee session on the fiddles and accordion. Another good Westies night out.
