After leaving the minor road from Gartocharn we crossed a field and headed towards Duncryne

 

Our morning tea break on the 142 m summit of Duncryne

 

Conic Hill seen from the minor road from Gartocharn to Croftamie

We should have seen Ben Lomond but it was hidden in the mist

 

Lunch time at the RSPB’s Loch Lomond nature reserve

 

As we walked towards Loch Lomond we had extensive views across Bell Moss and Ring Bog

 

A very relaxed afternoon break taken on the shore of Loch Lomond at Net Point

 

One final hurdle as we returned to Gartocharn was the rotting bridge over the Aber Burn

Fortunately it looks worse than it is and we all crossed safely
