Route: Tyndrum to Bridge of orchy via glen lyon
Summary
Start at Tyndrum, join onto the west highland way heading northwards until you come to ta Viaduct shaped like a horse shoe at alt kinglass, this is where you leave the west highland way and head north eastwards along a double path it is here we met a couple of men prospering for gold , they insisted on showing us their findings but It was that small and just visible to the naked eye, never the less it intrigued me to think there is gold in the hills.
We continued over most of the fords towards glen lyon , I swear we must have crossed the same river a dozen times.
We did not go all the way down to the loch but stopped at a water ladder or small Aqueduct.
We considered going back via the bealach, but decided on going back the way we came an then picked up the West Highland Way route Northwards to Bridge of Orchy to complete
