I like Dumyat, as I do her Big Brother Ben Cleugh and all the Ochils. Great views and a nice place to linger when it's not too busy.
I am often up there as a nice short blast. Was up Cleugh last Saturday as there was a car crash in Callendar that blocked the road for a couple of hours, stopping me getting up to Glencoe in time to climb, so I had a yomp along to Andrew Gannel Hill and down for a pint in the Woolpack.
Dumyat is my wife and kids' usual walk too - They go from Sherrifmuir as you say, less ascent.
Meikle Bin tonight with the dog.......... another wee stoater!
