Conic hill on the WHW

The approach to Conic hill and a view from the top.



Looking down on Loch Lomond.

That looks a very tiring walk up that hill, Jim

Stunning scenery, a photographer's paradise I would think...

Lovely views. I don't think I'd make it up even a quarter of Conic Hill.

It was the first real challenge for an older person, but it's just a case of taking a few stops on the way up to take photos.
lovely scenery indeed but sometimes a bit misty.

It's hard but if you take your time you get there, the views were good because the weather was good.

Hi Jim, I've done the WHW but I was only 50 at the time. I did a few more of the long distance walks after that and enjoyed it very much.........my little adventures I called them.
