Along the North Side of Loch Lomond.

We had a good breakfast at the hostel and set off in good time for our 14 mile walk to Inverarnan. It was another hot day and we enjoyed the shelter of the trees. This part of the lochside walk is quite hard with lots of scrambling over rocks and trees but for the first part this section of lochside path was closed due to erosion from all the rain. Instead we made good progress over the first 4 miles walking on a forest track.
The rest of the path follows the loch closely until the end of the loch just opposite Ardlui, where we were booked in for a night at a B&B.

The above picture was taken at Inversnaid which is half way along the route. The hotel allows passers-by to use their toilet facilities! How pleasant to have this attitude rather than signs stating "FOR RESIDENTS ONLY". Needed as well.
Across the loch from Ardlui, the path continued up the side of Cnap Mor and down into a campsite at Beinglas Farm. Here there was a welcome sight of a bar, cold lager and some little wooden huts which used to be wigwams apparently. The option of travelling on the busy A82 back to Ardlui seemed a very uninviting prospect.
When I booked this B&B I wan't aware that it was so far off the WHW as it was listed on the website as accommodation. I assumed we could catch a bus easily enough but we succumbed to a cold lager and booked a cabin at the campsite instead. I called the B&B of course and gave the heat as a reason for not making it that far!
We did go the Hotel (name?) and had a beer there later but decided to eat at the campsite bar intsead. We had excellent food (curry for S and burger for me) and breakfast was good too so were very pleased we made that decision.
Sandra had a harder night than me after a fall during the walk when she landed heavily on her right side, left her a bit sore on the hard bench beds.

There were midges here because we could see people in tents swathed in their nets looking like zombies and slightly unnerving, but we weren't bothered by them. After all we had our little hut. (above)
