A pleasant wander on another good day before heading back to Preston.

Easy walking for a Munro (with the track really helping) but much nicer than some reports would have you believe - the summit is a lovely grassy plateau.

A little bit for worse for wear after the previous night in Stirling but the hills soon sorted that.

The track probably climbs 2/3rds of the hill.
