The Pentland Hills

(28.4.2012) Carnethy Hill 573m, 10km, 4.30 hours

Me and Neil started at the Flotterstone car park and ranger centre. Headed West ascending the ridge onto Turnhouse Hill  and then SW descent and re ascent to the summit of Carnethy Hill. Descended West  around 130m of height to the bealach, again marked by a fence. An old right of way - the Kirk Road. Then North to the Howe before the tarmac road beside Loganlea reservoir. The road runs NE beside the Logan burn to reach the larger Glencorse reservoir and then SE back to Flotterstone.Weather cloudy but clear and rained at Glencourse Reservoir.
