Day 2
Saturday 13th May - Glen Liver to Loch Dochard.
Friends, fellow challengers. I am not a super legend, nor even a normal legend. Not even a ten timer, but please allow me to offer you a piece of heartfelt advice which you ignore at your peril.
Never, ever set out on a route for the day which has been agreed the night before whilst all parties to the discussion were leathered!!!
Why oh why did we not just follow the track up the loch a little, turn right into Glen Kinglass and make up our lost ground on the track? No. We decided that it would be far easier and indeed quicker to go up Glen Liver...OVER the monster of a hill between and then down into Glen Kinglass. Oh, and as it was only the second day and we had eaten lunch in the pub the day before, the packs were still nice and heavy!!! The only saving grace is that the hangover was soon sweated out. Once down into Kinglass, it was a delightful day's walking, with bathing in the pools along the way.
After a lovely afternoon we reached an idyllic camp spot, just in the edge of the forest on the south side of the river a few kms east of Loch Dochard Close to the bridge at NN 233418.
A good sleep was enjoyed.
