Whilst others went kayaking, Julie, Tom, David and I left a car in Callander and walked back to Tigh Mor along the Great Trossachs Trail, though David left us at Brig O'Turk and I took a short cut at the end of the walk.
We set off past a small lake then along a disused railway track.
After a short way we left the railway track and spent the rest of the walk on well maintained undulating forest tracks. There were good views back to Callander until we turned a corner.
We took a diversion to Samson's Stone.
Skeletal trees lined the route.
We looked across Loch Venachar to summits that Sue and Phil were climbing today.
A suitable bench for elevenses was found.
There were good views from this high, contouring path.
After descending through the forest we said goodbye to David and continued past the Byre Inn. It was very shut. An abandoned London bus lurked outside.
Achray Farm offered a sighting of goats and foals.
The path ran beside Loch Achray, with good views to the distinctive form of Ben A'an.
Here's my route - 17km with 400 metres ascent, taking about 5 hours.
Finished in a hurry. To be edited...
