Walking towards Balloch Country Park alongside the River Leven at the start of our walk

 

On previous occasions we had found the paths very muddy and boggy but they have now been much improved

 

Care had to be taken throughout the walk due to the patches of ice we encountered

 

After leaving Knockour Hill behind we had this view of Loch Lomond with Ben Lomond on the right and Ben Dubh on the left

 

We had lunch near the farmstead, now a private house, of Lorn
