Day 3 Sunday 16th May - Glen Kinglass to Gorton Bothy

From the campsite it is always a wild looking landscape up to the watershed.

Having crossed the watershed it was a very pleasant walk down to Victoria Bridge for a brew. From the bridge we were taking the track on the north side of Loch Tulla to cross the A82. We had to go a little way south on the road to pick up the track at Achallader to take us to Gorton Bothy where we intended to stay the night.

It was a hot and tiring walk to reach the bothy by late afternoon. We did see the bothy maintenance man who had brought up some coal so we lit a small fire to make things cosy for the evening. So ended a pleasant day with us the only occupants of the bothy that night.
