A very pleasant walk. We did it clockwise yesterday and were rewarded with some great views Northwards as you get to the loch. We took plenty of stops e.g for looking at tadpoles in the forest pools, and took about 2 h 20 minutes. The weather did change very quickly: quite warm at the start but cold and windy at the top (but all the more exhilerating for that).
