Glen Kinglass

Starting at Bridge of Orchy, the heavy rain soon lifted as we climbed over Mam Carraigh and descended to Victoria Bridge.

Crossing River Kinglass at NN185402.

Ian PV chooses the damp option, while Steve B chose the scary option.

Picking up tarmac at Bridge of Awe it was a long road ride back to the cars.

Neil B opted for the Scotrail option, Crispin#2 went it alone, while the rest partook of food at Cruachan Power Station Visitors Centre.  Useful top for next time: cyclists get a free tour!

Excellent day out - 77km in 7 hours.
