WHW Day 3 - May 3, 2019 - Rowardennan to Inverarnan


WHW Day 3 - May 3, 2019 – Rowardennan to Inverarnan

Distance – 24.78; Total Time on the Trail – 9:04:09;  Avg Overall Speed – 3:00 kph; Walking Time – 6:14:52; Avg Moving Speed – 4:00 kph; Elevation Gain -  569 m; Temperature: 7.2 C. Trail: Rugged walking along undulating lockside path; Overnight: Rose Cottage.

It was a beautiful day of walking. We started out on the “high road” around Loch Lomond. Through the trees you could glimpse the glistening water of the Loch below. The route was quite wide and easy walking. There was an alternative lower path which we chose not to take. When we came down from the highlands, we embarked on an undulating, lochside trail where the boulders, rocks and stones, and tree roots competed to grab your feet and smash you into the ground. We crossed numerous burns on conveniently, or otherwise stepping stones; we passed feral mountain goats and saw the tiniest mouse in the world. Later in the day we left the lochside and took a trail up into hills. The path became easier. Soon we bade farewell to Loch Lomand lochside and climbed up onto the side of the glen. The sound of the cuckoos led us along the path. And finally down to the B & B.
