I wasn't holding out much hope for decent weather as I headed off, however, as I arrived at the Loch Achray car-park things semed a bit more promising wwith only the threat of a shower....I hoped.

Overnight and morning rain made the hillside pretty heavy in places.

Well worth the effort with great views over Loch Achray and Venachar.
