We had our morning tea break after climbing to the top of the Lang Craigs
We passed three reservoirs and saw many more. Here is Greenland No. 1 reservoir
Passing Loch Humphrey before the path deteriorated and became a quagmire as we approached Duncolm
A well-earned lunch on the summit of Duncolm
The view from the summit was disappointing as it was very misty
Having left the summit, we start the walk back to Kilpatrick – almost all downhill
We stopped to admire the view of the Erskine Bridge but the mist descending shortly after we arrived and obscured most of the view
