Another good waterfall near the road in the Campsies. Shaded so it's a good spot to cool down on a hot day.

Tak Ma Doon Road Climb from Kilsyth

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

That is an awesome hill. Relentless with varying gradient 15%+ in places. That'd be ideal for hill sprints if anyone mad enough lol. There is a car park with a picnic spot at the top of the hill.
