Although at the summit and the highest point on our walk we still had another 8km to go before finishing the walk.

 

The view from the summit of Dumyat was both extensive and varied in character

The Kincardine Bridge can be seen in the top middle section of the photograph

 

Lunch was taken at the side of Lossburn Reservoir
