Dry conditions best as it’s steep!

Home to a compatriot of William Wallace. Very interesting Earthworks from 13th century fort with commanding views across the Carron Valley and towards Meikle Bin.

Just metres past the path up to Meikle Bin the forestry track widens for a turning circle, parking and possibly a portable sh#tter. Just metres past that wider section there's a line of dilapidated fence posts and the partly rideable descent path. The trees west of (after) the river crossing have been felled so you can see the terrain and work out your route before you start the descent. About 30 mins for descent, photos, river crossing and back onto a cyclable path.

Carron Valley Reservoir is a scenic man-made lake in central Scotland, located about 30 miles northeast of Glasgow. It was built in the early 1930s as part of a hydroelectric power project. A flat tarmacked road follows the length of the reservoir and makes for a very scenic cycle.

Descend line of fence posts, some marked by white ribbons just after (south) of path up to Meikle Bin. Recent forestry work (2023) make the start of the descent look like unpromising mess of waste wood. However the descent is pretty quick and mostly(?) rideable.

Route variation using alternative ascent towards Black Hill.

Wet in parts and you probably would not want to ascend NW in the other direction.

An eastern outlier of the Campsie Fells encircled by the Carron Valley Forest. At 570m it's a good hill with a trig point and great views. A good short but steep run from the forest car parks in the north it can also be added to the Kilsyth Hills ridgeline when running from the Carron Valley Reservoir.
