Our walk started with a gentle climb along a forest track
We paused for our morning break at the base of Tom a’ Bhothain, where we enjoyed an unobstructed view of Beinn Ruadh and the distinctive ridge we planned to traverse later
After our break it was a steep climb to the northern summit of Sligrachan Hill
This is the view we had over Loch Long, the Rosneath Peninsula and Ardmore Point from the northern summit of Sligrachan Hill
Some of our group setting off for Sligrachan Hill's southern summit, marked by the large cairn visible in the distance
We passed this small lochan as we walked along the knobbly ridge from Sligrachan Hill to Beinn Ruadh
