We have had a lovely long weekend.  The cottage (Crosskeys Cottage) is nice and cosy and well equipped.  Great location for exploring the National Park.

We were lucky enough with the weather to walk up Ben Lomond, Beinne Ime and Beinn Narnain.  Amazing views on the way down!!

We have had a fantastic few days, thank you.
