tinkers loch

[bairdo boy]

Have not been out in a while so just went out with the dog for a wee warm up. Nothing too serious, or so I though. Headed up to a little hill loch called "tinkers loch". It sits north of loch chon and south of loch katerine. It is a walk of about 2 miles and 1 mile around the loch, the loch is about 440m above sea level and has a very steep track up to it, about 3/4 up the hill it isn't just as steep then it get very boggy. Once you get to the loch it is quite heavy going thrashing through the heather. Its a great wee walk if you have a few hours spare and there is fish in the loch as well if anyone fishes

steep track most of the way up, it is steeper than it looks

relaxing taking in the solitude

the main track was blocked with fallen down tree, I had to walk into the pine forest to get by. Inside the forest I came across this old stone shelter or something
