After following forest tracks, we emerged above Succothmore and Upper Succoth
We left the gentle gradients of the forest track behind and started the steep climb to Beinn Lagan
Although the gradient eased after a short distance there were other difficulties to negotiate
Finally, a well-earned rest on the summit of Beinn Lagan

We had lunch looking towards Bealach an Lochain
Beinn Lochain is on the left and Carnach Mor to the right with Beinn Bheula just visible. Our path to Curra Lochain is the faint line below the trees on Carnach Mor

Our afternoon tea break on the shore of Curra Lochain
It was with great difficulty that our leader persuaded us to move from this delightful spot
