Today will start with the perfect view of Mount Lomond, and at this stage of the tour it is already a bit challenging. But when you see the right combination of different landforms and landscapes, it's all worth it. The area is a frequent haunt of Rob Roy McGregor. As we walked in his footsteps, the leader would tell us interesting stories about this "Robin Hood of Scotland". The difficult terrain will greatly slow down the speed of travel, but it is a very interesting thing to "explore" in such an original environment. Road conditions will improve as we approach our next destination, Inverarnan, a small village north of Stirling.
