If the march yesterday was a bit of a strain, the suggested day stage today is a lot shorter. It will take you away from Loch Lomond and north easterly, crossing the Glasgow-Fort William railway line in Glen Falloch, and then ascending through Forestry Commission plantations, from where you can drop down to Crianlarich, situated under the giant buttresses of Ben More. The village is good for a re-supply, or even a day’s rest, because now you are approximately halfway on the tour amidst mountain splendour. There is plenty to see along the way, although much of the day you will be aware of being accompanied by the road and rail arteries. There are babbling brooks and small torrents, forest glades and, if you are good with your map and have a good eye, you might even see the na Briton - a rather large boulder high above Glen Falloch, which was supposed to be the marker that divided the ancient kingdoms of the Britons, The Scots and the Picts. You should also see a few remnant pines of the Caledonian forest that used to cover much of lowland Scotland. The remaining pines now look fairly sad and incongruous on the grazed hillsides.
