The ascent of Meikle Bin had been straight forward and easy but the fallen trees after the recent storms made the descent less straight forward

 

When we were clear of the trees the terrain improved. This is the Carron Valley Reservoir seen from below Little Bin

 

We relaxed during the last few kilometres which were easy walking with pleasant views
