The West Highland Way, May 2011
Day Four: Inverarnan to Tyndrum - 13 miles
Another day of fun and mixed weather

No pub for lunch! Just as well there is a milk bar, even if it has no pies. And Duncan joined us, to increase the bright jacket count. |
Leaving Inverarnan. Not the most promising start to the day. |
Slightly clearer? |
A pretty river |
At least the rain was off now. |
Climbing out of the glen alongside the River Falloch |
And onto the old military road built by General Wade or his successor Major Caulfield. |
Splendid views |
Some hills |

The climb away from Crianlarich |
There should be a deer in there somewhere! |

Under the arches. |
River Fillan |
To the milk bar |
Coffee time. Catherine, Stewart, Dad, Martin, Iain and Duncan at rest. |
Strolling along side the River Coronish to Dalrigh (the King's Field). Legend has it that in 1306 Robert the Bruce suffered a defeat here by the MacDougalls of Lorne. |
Allegedly the sword of Robert the Bruce is in that Lochan? The man himself retreated to the Kintyre Peninsula and spent some time in Dunaverty Castle. |

The old lead smelting area. Interesting stuff. No really. |
