Description
This run from the HAAC club house is a climb up to Ben Bouie and the famous Christmas tree view. There are several variants of this run with some starting at the Collins road start point.
The route starts with a short run on pavement before arriving at a small country road and the start of a gradual climb and onto part of the 3 Lochs Way. However, once the trail starts proper the route become steeper so several stops to allow everyone to catch up. Great view at the top, though some dispute if this is the top of Ben Bouie or Gowkhill Muir.
This run takes up to 90 minutes
