A Sunday afternoon outing to Dumglow back in October, roughly following the Walkhighlands route. A very pleasant trip with some lovely views. Don't miss out Dummiefarline.

Trees across the path - a detour is straightforward

After coming back through the trees there's a choice - head back or follow the forestry track down to the road.
