This lovely glen is the final descent back to the car, we all walked at our own pace, in our own wee worlds, relishing every moment and thinking about new adventures to come.

After crossing the bridge at the river Etive with its deep holes for swimming and rocky wild looking character we followed the track for a short distance.
This is my 1st walk report and my 1st munro walk with the Livingston Ramblers. The 4 of us left Livingston at 7.00am and the drive to Glen Etive was quite pleasant, the temperature outside the car was 3 degrees with snow showers on and off. By the time we reached Glen Etive the sun was shining and the weather was hot! We couldny believe how warm it had turned, Bring on the hills!!!!!!

The ascent was a bit of a knee cruncher but the views down Glen Etive were awsome.
