	Chapter XXXIII Hills
		The Campsie Hills have taken their name from the place where the village of Old Campsie now stands; and, therefore, were probably so called only in the later times of Gaelic dialogue south of the Forth.
		Each hill has a considerable degree of curvature, the convex of which is uniformly presented to the west; while the central part of that curve forms the highest point of their elevation, and they gradually slope towards the extremity of the segments which their curvatures form.
		The view from this summit is very extensive; but the Wood hill, the Middle, and the West hills are incomparably the most beautiful of the whole range, from Glen-Devon on the east, to their termination near the bridge of Alva on the west.

	Across the Conic Hill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The hill is not cone-shaped at all, it's much more of a knobbly ridge - perhaps to avoid this confusion it is often spelt with two "n"s i.e.
		This is the view of the Conic hill from the very edge of the forest, standing upon the big wooden stile.
		The Conic hill is a small hill at only 351m(?), but it stands alone by the side of Loch Lomond, so the views from the top are rather impressive.

		The Cotswolds are formed from a limestone escarpment and the scarp slopes are full of interest, yet the highest point lays on the edge of a flat pasture adjacent to a car park, a golf course and a cluster of radio masts.

	West Highland Way - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is 152 km (95 mi) long, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with an element of hill walking in the route.
		Milngavie is a town located on the northern fringe of the conurbation of Glasgow, and the path rapidly emerges into open countryside.
		It proceeds by way of country roads, an abandoned railway, the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and scenic Conic Hill, to reach Balmaha on Loch Lomond.

		Dotted along the Highland Boundary Fault, we are blessed with many interesting hills which have dramatically contrasting vistas, with wild rugged mountains to the north, and much more gentle country to the south.
		Conic Hill is usually approached from the large car park in Balmaha using the West Highland Way (WHW).
		By the time I had set off, albeit after some lengthy lessons in hill names and a matronly dose of local history, I could see some members already heading back to their cars as they slopped their way from under the full-weight low cloud.

	The West Highland Way
		The easy walking on the forest track enabled us to set off in the half light well before sunrise to ease the pressure on the schedule, and it is always a pleasure to see the landscape wake up at dawn.
		The western end of the forest is felled and the view opens out to Conic Hill and the southern end of Loch Lomond.
		The woodland path undulates at some length before climbing to the edge of the trees and a signboard indicating the path to the hill fort and viewpoint of An Dun, a very worthwhile diversion of 400m to view the W face of Ben Nevis and the northern Mamores.

		Once she had recovered enough, she was driven off the hill in the Team Landrover.

	Drymen to Rowardennan - Walking Land's End to John o'Groats with Mark Moxon
		We spent yesterday loafing around on top of Duncryne Hill, a small bump of a hill that's easy to climb and just a stone's throw from the main street in Gartocharn; it's also home to what must be one of the best views in the country, that of Loch Lomond.
		From Duncryne Hill their tree-covered slopes take on all sorts of shapes, from the one that looks like a man who's fallen face down into a shallow puddle, to the one that looks exactly like a motorboat, complete with a wake when the wind picks up.
		Few views are this captivating or this vast; from the top of the hill you don't so much get a view as a panorama, and with perfect weather, soft grass to sit on and a whole bag of food to munch on, the day passed by like a dream.

		On leaving the old railway, there are some stretches of road walking, and shortly before Drymen, at the crest of a hill, we got our first glimpse of Loch Lomond, before dropping down into the village.
		The path eventually emerged onto open moorland and climbed up Conic Hill, which offered excellent views of Loch Lomond, and to the south we could see the Firth of Clyde.
		The weather forecast in the morning had suggested showers in the morning turning to continuous rain in the afternoon, but it stayed fine all morning, and although it was quite cloudy, the sun kept breaking through, shining on the surrounding mountains from time to time.

	(GCJ9MP) WHW Day 2 (In the shadow of Conic Hill) by Pooter
		Conic Hill is an easier climb than it's big brother up the road, with stunning views of Loch Lomond from its 358m peak which always seems to be just below the low cloud line, so you can always see something, unlike the top of the big Ben.
		No dogs are allowed on this stretch of the WHW and it is also closed during the Lambing season (April 19 - May 10).
		The cache is placed just at the limit of the dog friendly zone, so it is not on the hill, but it is accessible all year round to Dog and lamb lovers.
