Left Edinburgh at 6.15am, and two hours later I was leaving the car park on foot. The drive in after leaving the A84 at the Balquhidder junction to the car park at Inverlochlarig is a cracking wee road along side Loch Voil & Loch Doine.

Reached summit of Tulaichean at 10.15, where I met ‘Mountainmac’ and had the pleasure of his company on to the following summit.

Enjoyed some food and a blether for a wee while, until it started to get a bit chilly sitting still. It was time to head back, I was going back to the car and my dogs new best friend was going to climb the tops on the NE ridge, I believe. I walked back down to bealach, where I met a couple who had walked up from Crianlarich heading for Cruach Ardrain.

I then headed down to Inverlochlarig Glen and back to the farm, reached car 13.25. Thoroughly enjoyed my day on these hills even though I then got stuck on the loch road for a while when sheep were being herded along the road.
