We started our walk at Kidston Park with a view of Rhu Marina

 

Our morning tea break was taken at the lowest of the three Rhu Reservoirs

 

After our tea we continuing climbing above the reservoirs and could see the Rosneath Peninsula and the River Clyde

 

We had a short walk and were soon enjoying the sunshine on the summit of Tom na h-Airidh

 

We had a good view from the summit and could see a dusting of snow on Beinn a’ Mhanaich with more extensive snow on the distant Beinn Ime

 

There was a strong, cold wind on the summit, so we returned to the forest for lunch

 

We finally emerged from the forest onto a forestry track taking us to the Highlandman’s Road
