Great Effort ! I was thinking of doing the 6 last summer but I could not get parked, the only space there was a sign saying no park large vehicle turning point,so I had to drive away 5am to do a different walk. need to get it done this month, so thinking of maybe taking bike cycle in from the main road.

You can do the Luss 6 from here as well, theres a small carpark just up the track. https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=aa1c9654-3d2e-4577-9688-164e880dabfc&cp=56.07595~-4.778257&lvl=16&style=s&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027
Tough day out mind with some rough terrain.

Thanks prog99. Think malky also started from that point for his route.

SunnyAdventure - agree, parking isn't easy. I often research beforehand using Google maps and geograph and managed to get the car off the road on the right just before the turning circle without impeding access but it was tight. Hope you have a good trip. As prog99 says, it's a tough day but rewarding.
