We had our morning break at an old quarry at the foot of Gouk Hill

The weather improved as we climbed onto Bromley Muir – Here we see the view from Bromley Muir of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond (with cloud on the summit)

There was a footbridge here, we had used in January 2014, but it was no longer safe to use.

 

We returned to Cardross through the neglected estate of the now demolished Kilmahew House
