Took WH advice about parking at Lawers Hotel but had to deal with Basil Fawlty like tantrum from owner, so moved on and parked at the parking at the antler shop. Glad that I won,t need to go back to do this walk again due to the rubbish parking facilities, that are not uncommon around Scotland.
Anyway, bad start compounded by awful weather (winter-like), mainly driving rain, high wind and low cloud. Accordingly, had to rely on grid ref, map and compass to confirm that we were on the right route.
Would have been a lovely walk and particularly enjoyed the wee scramble at the top of An Stuc.
Nothing else to say!
