Two years ago we made our first foray into these hills on a very hot day. The report, Too hot for hill dogs is here https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=97018

Now it was time to complete the trip, without the hill dogs. We followed the Walk Highlands route, and found all except the final tracks into Kinlochleven fine, but that last part of the track was very badly eroded and proved tiring at the end of the day.

No problem with heat and clear blue skies this time - looking west
