THE
WALK
Dont Get Lost Take A Copy With You
Start in the village and is well signposted be warned its a long steep climb allow at least 2 hours
each way plus stops, the track is rough so strong footware is essential, also near the top are old Copper mines
where the going is loose scree don't enter the old mineshafts
The views from the top are stunning and the small lochan is a surprise
A hard climb but worth every step, go on try it you will love it
