Approaching Loch Long as we left the Cowal Way and headed towards Ardgartan

 

A picturesque wee bothy on the Loch Long shore – but think of the midges!

 

Ardgartan Hotel overlooking Loch Long

 

Morning tea, taken in the woodland beside the Croe Water

 

After crossing the A83 we started to climb through the forestry but were rewarded by this view of Ben Lomond, Arrochar and Loch Long

 

We ate our lunch adjacent to the main tourist route to The Cobbler and Beinn Narnain

 

Now that the forest had been felled the view down Loch Long was impressive

 

We returned along the same route as our outward walk but this time had views up Glen Croe and to The Cobber
