About to enter Ledrishmore Wood as we ascended Whinney Hill

 

The view of Loch Lomond from this viewpoint is gradually decreasing each year as the trees grow taller

 

We stopped for lunch on the road to Meikle Boturich and Lorn from where we had an excellent view of Loch Lomond and the surrounding hills
