Well it looks like we had the pick of the weekend weather yesterday for Stirling Young Walkers' first ever walk......who are of course our 55th Ramblers group in Scotland :)

It was the Ben Cleuch circular walk from Tillicoultry, which heads up the narrow defile of Mill Glen via an amazing series of bridges and boardwalks, before hauling steeply up The Law. I'll be honest, I was walking around with my jaw on the floor. It's been 15yrs since I climbed Ben Cleuch via Mill Glen, and I had no recollection whatsoever of just how impressive and beautiful the gorge and its wee glens are. A truly stunning place....although doubtless the lovely weather helped in that regard ;-)

It was an odd weather situation actually, with blazing sunshine and warmth on the ascent ridge, then a murky and ominous crossing of the plateau when snow or hail threatened for a time....before the blazing sunshine and warmth returned on the descent ridge. All in all a really enjoyable walk in enjoyable company, and I wish the fledgling group well for all their subsequent walks. Speaking of which, if you want to give them a go then you can find them on Meetup. https://www.meetup.com/Stirling-Young-Walkers/

Their next walk isn't as steep or hilly as this but it sounds a good 'un. A 10 mile walk from Bridge of Keltie to Doune on 31st March.
