This is the starting point of the walk just at the underpass leading from the train station to the main street of Milngavie. From here you have 95 miles of pain or pleasure depending on how fit you are.

This picture shows the first view of Conic hill, when we reached the hill the ground was dry which made the walking easy. I have walked the hill before when the ground was wet and muddy and under these conditions it was much harder, Sixteen miles walked 80 miles to go.

Both pictures below show the first sight of Loch Lomond on the walk, this is an ideal place to take a break to enjoy the view after the slog up Conic hill. From here you have only a few miles to go to reach Cashel camp site, where we camped for the night. I would recommend this camp site, it is cheap and clean.
