The route took us up to about 750 feet (or so the leaflet, obtained from the local library, informed me**) affording panoramic views of the valley, the Fells and in the other direction Glasgow, only 10 miles away but another world. On a moonlit night it would probably look very pretty.
The two dogs in my care trotted round with great enthusiasm even though they were kept on the lead: never game to let dogs I don`t know very well run free, at least at first and it proved a good call as we came back down towards the town on a long straight road and three tiny roe deer ran across in front of us. Wouldn`t have seen the dogs for dust.......
Tomorrow, all things being equal, we may go for "The Double Hedges", building up slowly to getting up those Fells.
