Since
joining EWG, I’ve spent 15 years preparing for this moment but I now feel ready
to take on the challenge of scaling the mighty Dumyat. This hill has
achieved a near legendary status in the folklore of EWG and rumour has it that
ghostly figures can be spotted there on most Wednesday evenings as they descend
eagerly to the nearest watering hole. And like these ghostly figures our
route up this “rocky cub of the Ochils” is a bit rougher but possessed of
considerable character.
Normally
a 40 minute walk, we will, in the finest navigational traditions of Dumyat
baggers, take the long way round thereby making it nearer 4 hours – but
ineffably far more interesting. We start from the small car park just
east of Blairlogie on the A91 east of Stirling. Let’s meet there are 10
o’clock for a 10.30 start.

Usual
stuff about shouting out if you want or are looking for a lift.
Hope
you can join me on Sunday for my initiatory pilgrimage to this seminal summit.
And, of course, also here along with the rest of 2020’s programme – carefully crafted for your delectation. https://easywalkinggroup.co.uk/2020/01/23/walks-for-2020/
