Too dreich for Ballageich

 Present: Bob, Gus, Killie Davie, Derval Davie, Dougie, Paul, Rex, Hugh, Malcolm and Ian


10 of us braved the elements on Wednesday to do the proposed circular walk from Eaglesham to Ballageich Hill. It was decided to do the walk in an anti-clockwise direction and so we set off full of our usual optimism. However by the time we reached East Moorhouse Farm, the wind and rain were blowing in our faces, and the prospect of climbing onto the Ballageich plateau appealed to no-one.  Consequently there was no dissension when it was suggested that we retrace our steps; this time we veered left, down past  Bonnyton Moor farm onto the old main road, passing Castlehill House and arriving back at the cars just over 2 hours after setting out. No coffee stop, no lunch stop - it was that sort of day.
