After a stunning day in the Grey Corries we had a rest day with a move from Spean Bridge down to Tyndrum in order to finish the Glen Orchy Munros the following day. The sky was blue, the sun was shinning so what else to do but go for a walk :lol: :lol: , even a wee one.

I've seen so many pictures of the Ben from Corpach and of the locks that make up Neptune's Staircase that I wanted to see the real thing: today was the perfect opportunity.
