Great report and some stunning photies :D Walking alone really is serene, I love it..... though would probably regret the lack of company in the event of an accident I guess. Perhaps I walk alone because I'm blowing so hard on the inclines I couldn't talk to anyone anyway :lol:

Nice one - love the monochromatic look to it all - I think Loch Skene must be one of the most serene and tranquil Lochs out there.
