We stayed at bein glas farm so we could get a quick start this morning. Left about 09.30 and headed up to tyndrum to find kirkton farm the start of our walk.Eventually found the road in after going into strathfillan wigwams and realising kirkton was the farm 1km up the road towards crianlarich.parked car in layby opposite farm entrance and headed into kirkton farm

Well done on your first report! It's good to see Ben Challum again - and not too much mist!

Nice on JM,
Looks like the weather was kind to you. I have heard this is a bog lower down but i done it from the North. Nice photos.
