This walk started off at Alva Glen to Ben Ever to Ben Cleuch to Andrew Gannel to Kings Seat.
Andy and i got a wee chance to check out our navigation skills and the group were so patient . (Thanks Janice for coaxing us into it) . :?

However not very taxing as visibility was excellent and plenty of features to keep us on the right track . Actually a really good trip to check out your navigation skills (on a clear day anyway) might be a different scenario if visibility was poor lol

Great walk today weather great , route/walk brilliant and great company as always :) .

Good to check out the navigation skills on a good day so you are more confident on a poor one.
