The circular walk up the glen

This walk is only about 1 1/2 miles long but is fairly strenuous and takes about 45 minutes. There are several sets of well maintained steep stairs but the steps are not exactly easy to negotiate as the risers vary in height! I prefer this walk when it is windy as there is a lot of shelter and it's not so muddy at the moment as the flatter routes. The downside to it is that I cannot see far ahead so sometimes meet people with rather big dogs, and not all friendly (ie the dogs) before I can get the leads on mine.
