Hi guys, this was only my second munro that I have walked with the first being Ben Lomond. It was a real hard battle at the start but thats what it is all about. Having the strength, determination and will to pull yourself up makes the buzz all the much better. I started off at Invergulas car park at 8.30 am and was back in the car for 13.30pm so it was five hours of good fun. The path was ok to find, you come across it after around 35-40 mins walking and the dam is in full view of the path.

The path is steep, boggy and unforgiven. But really good. The sheep are a bit mental too but eventually after a stare off they run away lol.

Below are some pictures of the day and I can honestly say I have found a fantastic past time away from city life. Doing Ben Vane in the morning so will post report of that too.

Thanks.

Gary.

P.s I think the photos are in reverse order
