Ascent
 

The route starts in the coastal village of Ballantrae and follows the easy path along the River Stinchar up the valley. The route then climbs steeply over fields to a rough path leading to the summit with its decorated trig point. The views up and down the Clyde from here are magnificent with Arran and Goat Fell and very occasionally Ben Lomond visible to the North.  Ailsa Craig, the Mull of Kintyre and the coast of Northern Ireland can be seen to the southwest.

The path then descends less steeply to the shore and back along the beach to finish at the cafe at Ballantrae Garden Centre, where there will be an opportunity for refreshments before the journey home.
