Woke up on Saturday knowing I had a free day and that I was heading out to a hill somewhere regardless of what it was looking like. Had a wee check on the group to find that there were a couple of different opinions/locations afoot then decided to give Sean a call. With there being an issue on the motorway and that it was quite a drive, we decided to meet up at Gargunnock just after 10am instead of making the trip down to Bodesbeck or even the Eildons.
A few off us made our way to Cacra today. Rob appeared at my place and we made our way round to Cacra in the landrover, and thanks to the Goodridge all terrain tyres we were able to drive to the top for around 11am.
Back in the saddle after a few months away doing other stuff. Plan was to meet at Mountbenger as the wind was due to swing round from N to S through the day. Unfortunately
Windy, Rain, grey, grotty, shitty.. sunny(!?!) all valid descriptions for todays weather. There was a hint of a chance of a weather window for some flying at bridgend.
North Westerly forecast for Saturday or something in that general direction. maybe turning a bit to the west later. so.. where to go. I was half thinking of clough head then someone (Logan) suggested the moorfoots might be worth a look.
I've always felt the Moorfoots were a tad far for me (from Lockerbie) but for some reason I thought it might be worth a look.
