Arrochar Dunbartonshire


Our latest walk was in Scotland 0n 28th March 2013 - A round trip from Forest Holidays, Argyll Cabins.
You can see the walk at http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=5867719.
A cold week but sun shining when Chris and I set off on the walk. From the Cabin we made our way past the "Retreat" ...

with its Otter carvings...

through ancient woodland up to the Information Centre. Here we made the decision to walk the "Yellow Route". 

As you can see there were some more wood carvings - Buzzard and Otters.
Apparently there was a gentle climb - Scottish humour me thinks - up into the forest.
It did level out

As you can see, it was cold

The colours and variety of mosses impressive

One of two sad deaths on the footpath
And the shrew the second
The reflections of buildings on the far side of the loch (Loch Long) were impressive.
Reflections in the Loch
As we decended to the "Old Military Road" we saw more carvings on both sides of the road.
Fox
Not sure who this person is/was!
The loop was completed by walking loch side back to the cabins.

Time to put our feet up!
