- This section around Loch Lomond became a bit more of a scramble, climbing around large rocks

- Will and Frank navigating their way around the path

- Ahh, nice and easy!

- Imagine how peaceful it would be to live out here…

- An honesty box where I drank my first ever Irn Bru – quite nice too!

- The scenery is changing again now the trail has moved away from Loch Lomond

- Wide open views like these are what I was hoping for on this trail

- A storm is brewing!
Howard came up to meet me for the weekend and we thought I would have made it to the Bridge of Orchy, but after cutting yesterday’s stage short because of the thunderstorms, I was 10km behind schedule! Today was long enough so I took the train from Tyndrum to meet him at the Bridge of Orchy and we would make our way back to Tyndrum the next morning to continue the trail where I left off.

- West Highland Way day 4, Inversnaid bunkhouse to Tyndrum
What a stunning walk. I think I am going to have to add it to my list for when we return to the UK one day. Thanks for all the info.. Mel
