A lovely little walk to get back into things in 2022 after a few years off walking - can't imagine why! :lol: Weather par for the course for January in Scotland, the summits of most mountains were obscured but there was a little sunlight breaking through at the far end of the Loch which provided some beautiful views (and decent enough pictures).

The route is easy enough to follow, though I definitely didn't, and there's a lovely little swing by the boathouse. Plenty of opportunity for skipping stones (though I didn't find any particularly well suited and only managed two skips), and if you time it right you can watch the West Highland Trains on the opposite side of the Loch.
