Some shots from my walk up Deer Hill at Carradale last Saturday (30th June). The walk took me north along the forestry
road at Moineruadh to the car park near Coronation Wood. The Kintyre Way took me uphill from there for the next mile or
so to meet the Deer Hill path just below the summit. From the trig point there is a path that runs south all the way
down to the forestry road just above the Network Centre. My walk didn't start at the Network Centre, but it is accessible
from there and the car park can be taken advantage of.
Although I wasn't actually following the official Deer Hill Walk, it is very well signposted
