We started from Bochastle, walking alongside the River Teith which was in spate after recent heavy rains

 

The view opened up in front of us as we started to climb up the Ben Ledi hill path

 

The hill was very busy, as it was Bank Holiday Monday, but we managed to gain this excellent vantage point overlooking Loch Lubnaig for a brief coffee stop

 

As we climbed higher, the mist came down and the snow got deeper

 

The summit triangulation point on Ben Ledi

 

We dropped off the summit to get out of the wind for our lunch stop overlooking Glen Finglas Reservoir

 

The descent was steep, boggy and again very busy

 

We descended via Stank Glen and returned to Bochastle via an attractive narrow path which led to a Forest track
