The weather was so sunny on that sunday :wink: so I had to do a hike or walk.
I decided between the Cobbler hike and this walk... and finally I take the walk instead of hiking.

First said, good boots are neseccary due to a lot of swamp parts on the track. Furthermore I would recommend long shorts, cause a lot of high grass.

The walk itself was beautiful. With a good view to the different Loch`s.
For navigation I downloaded the route from this site and imported it into my komoot app. Everytime I wasn't sure which way I had to go, I have taken a look, but I would say it is also doable without a navigation system or just a screenshot of the route.

Additional I add a few photos, taken on 18.10.2018.
I am not a native speaker so pls don`t be sharp with my written english :)

usefull: in Arrochar is a nice Restaurant/Bar, where one can get a warm drink when waiting for the train.
