Depending on the weather, and how energetic we're feeling, we'll decide which route to follow over a cup of coffee. There are two options:
- Glen Artney loop. We'll drive to the parking area at NN 763 201. The route follows the road north for a short distance, then west towards Cuilt and via Montillie to the south-eastern slopes of Ben Halton. A track will take us to around NN 726 187 from where turn south to meet the track to the north of the Water of Ruchill, which leads back to the car park. The distance is 13.5km, with a total ascent of 365m. The walk should take 4.5 - 5.5 hours.
- Ascent of Ben Clach (533m, Marilyn). We'll drive back to a layby at NN 775 178 on the B827. A track runs along the northern slopes of Little Hill, turning south and then rising westwards from NN 767 168 to meet an ATV track at around NN 758 165. From here, we turn south towards the summit of Ben Clach via an ATV track that may peter out closer to the summit. The return is by the same way, although a detour to the trig point on Little Hill would add only about 50m of ascent to the route. The distance is 10.5km, with a total ascent of 453m. The walk should take 4 - 5 hours.
