Culmark Hill

To-days walk was a 7 mile stretch of the Southern Upland Way, starting at Stroanfreggan up over Culmark Hill and the moors to finish our walk at St. John's Town of Dalry.
We set off from East Kilbride, travelled to the Hollybush for our morning coffee, we then headed to Stroanfreggan to start our walk.
Our weather today was wet and underfoot conditions were quite difficult at times.
We headed up over Culmark Hill onto the moors to continue our walk, we headed on to cross Earlston Burn and skirt Ardoch Hill to eventually descend down to St. John's Town of Dalry. Our day finished with our social stop at the Clachan Inn then our journey back to East Kilbride.

OUR WEATHER TODAY PREVENTED US FROM SEEING THE GREAT VIEWS ON THE WALK, BUT ON THE RECCI THE VIEWS WERE FANTASTIC, KLICK ON THE UNDERNOTED ADDRESS TO VIEW THE RECCI PHOTOS.
