Wonderful undulating 6mile trail with great views a lot of the time. First time.e I've used Hiiker, but it emptied my battery from 65% to 11% in 3 hours! That's dreadful. Not happy with app.

Autumn brings a dazzling display of changing colours, but the weather, much like spring, can be erratic. Temperatures begin to drop, and daylight hours shrink rapidly, restricting hiking time. Winters are challenging with shorter days, snowfall, and icy trails. For the experienced, it presents a unique, exhilarating challenge. Check https://www.mountaineering.scot/. Best to avoid winter unless highly experienced.
