Baltic at Loch Humphrey!

So today we decided on another walk up the Kilpatricks, this time to Loch Humphrey from Old Kilpatrick. The last few days had been beautiful with white snow and blue skies. Today was very overcast with more snow forecast.

We headed off just after midday from the car park near the train station. Google maps had indicated that our walk was 2.8 miles each way, however the sign just after the car park said 2 miles. Google was correct.

It started off with a gentle gradient, which then became steeper and harder going. The views looking back over the Clyde would have been great in clearer weather, but today they didn’t really warrant a photograph.

Finally the path levelled off again and the last bit headed gently downhill to the loch.

It was very windy during much of our walk, that kind of wind that cuts right through you. We were pretty well layered up, but our legs were numb by the time we reached the loch.

After a “selfie” and a couple of other quick photos we decided to head back rather than go any further. We were so cold that our hot tub was calling!
