Day 84 of the End to End followed stage 4 of the Three Lochs Way from Arrochar to Inveruglas. It was not a long walk being about 6 miles and it was a lovely day.
\nBob came with me for the first mile through Arrochar village to the start of the path at the head of Loch Long. The path is shared with the Loch Lomond and Cowal Way which comes in from the west.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\ufffcIt winds its way up through woodland and meadows full of flowers and insects to a small rocky pass. Although steep at times there were plenty of places to rest, great views and lots to see. I knew I’d reached the top when the power lines, which follow the same route started to dip downwards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The downhill path went through more woodland and came out to a small bridge over Inveruglas water. The valley is surrounded by spectacular peaks. It had taken me just under two hours to do the four miles or so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I met Bob on the hydro road and there was an easy route down to the main road, past the Sloy Power Station, a hydroelectric scheme. There’s a footpath along the main road to the Inveruglas visitors centre, where I signed the book of achievement. It took them a while to find it and mine was the first name in the book.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were good views over Loch Lomond and the nearby Inveruglas island. A new structure that has won an architectural prize provides an elevated view point. We drove back to Tarbert for some lentil soup.<\/p>\n

From Psalm 46
\n
\nBe still and know that I am God<\/i><\/p>\n

God grant a quiet night and a peaceful end<\/b>
