    Hiking

    Mostly rideable except for a few steep ramps and some short boggy bits. Stunning views. Goes from track to grassy path half way up.

    Running

    At 578m Earl's Seat is the highest point of the Campsies which makes it a great target for a run in this area. The views are great, it's got a nice trig point and although mountainous it's not that steep.
    Normally run from Strathblane in the south or from Dumgoyne in the west.
