During lockdown I was restricted to accessing the Ochils from the car park at Castlehill Reservoir due to travel restrictions, so I spent a lot of time walking new routes and finding new ways up the hills. This walk takes you round to Glen Sherup and up Innerdownie from there before descending to the old drove road through Glenquey back to the start It can also be used as the basis for a circular walk up Innerdownie from Glen Sherup and back

I can assure you that the weather wasn't quite as changeable on the day as suggested by my photos (caused by a mistaken deletion) but this is a high-level walk and appropriate clothing and footwear should be worn and an ability to navigate in bad weather is advisable, though there are clear underfoot tracks throughout (when it's not snowing).
