After the long walk-in along Glen Luss we started to climb above Edentaggart Farm through the bracken

 

It was a long and arduous climb although we stopped for our morning break near the rocky gully seen here

 

Eventually we reached the summit after several false summits

 

For a short time the weather improved as we headed down towards Glen Luss but the cloud never cleared the nearby summits and the rain returned as we approached the glen

 

There was a good path hidden in the bracken

 

Almost back at Edentaggart Farm and the road back to Luss
