A rather wet and bedraggled group, we took our morning break adjacent to a tributary of the Kelty Water near Corrie
Corrie Aqueduct on the Loch Katrine to Milngavie pipeline – seen through the mist.
This aqueduct was built in 1858 for the first pipeline and is 300m long. It was cast/assembled by a company from Stirling.

After lunch we climbed above Lime Hill as we crossed the NE flank of Gualann and had a clear view of Lime Hill and the track to High Corrie
We enjoyed our afternoon tea break just before the rain set-in for the afternoon
