[quote="rockhopper"]Loch Lyon ?[/quote

Now you mention it I'm not sure. It's either Lyon or Giora... I suspect it's Lyon. Lovely, lonely spot. :shock: Over to you...

Thank-you, it has been a long time since I was that way but the loch has stuck in my memory.

How about this one?

Spot on, actually from the slopes of Bheinn Bheag, I had no views from Groban as the cloud came in just as I was reaching the summit from the south,

Thanks ST :D We had a fantastic day on Aonach Buidhe last year, walking and cycling. Still the two Grahams left to do, so we will go back for sure, hopefully next spring!

Next question...
Name one of the two lochs in the picture (or both):
