My birthday dawned drench so we pottered about until mid afternoon when we explored the parallel roads in Glen Roy, however the next day was forecast to be beautiful. So 07:50am found us on Roy Bridge station waiting for the train to Corrour to attempt the Loch Ossian Munros. At that point we envisaged a trip round all 3 adding Ben na Lap to the route, but in the event we decided the day was so warm that a celebratory beer or 3 at the Station House would be more appropriate :lol: :lol: So we followed the Walkhighlands route for a brilliant birthday bash. These hills make a stunning viewpoint on a clear day.
