Overview

An easy winter walk, we will leave Toadhole carpark at 9.00am and head west to Carron Reservoir, there we will cross the B818 and head along a single track farm road heading towards the Earls Burn where we turn right heading to the wind farm and up to Hart Hill.  If the weather is clear we should have a good view of Carron Valley and to the south the Meikle Bin,  hopefully we will have lunch there, before heading back through the wind farm.
