Correct.

A belter of a day out this summer. If anyone fancies, the Postman's walk is a great route.

Matt - thanks for the link to the video. In retrospect, probably better that I used the road after all as I was carrying a big camping pack and would have found the track harder going.

What is the name of the furthest away loch ?

Thanks RH - your clue was enough to remind me about that group of lochs E of Ben Hope.

How about this one?
