Ben Donich V2

As I posted a walk report on this hill from the recce just a couple of weeks ago I have left the words to a minimum and just posted some snaps.
Out with the Kilmarnock Ramblers today for the ascent of Ben Donich. In contrast to the recce  there were no clouds, the skies were clear blue and the visibility was fantastic, you could literally see for miles and miles.

Sitting at the top for lunch and the vista included the hills of Arran, the Paps of Jura and the hills of Mull, all with only turning your head a fraction. Turn a bit more and Cruachan and the Dalmally horseshoe. 
Throw in all the local stuff and it was a day to remember, absolutely stunning. I thought yesterday on Durisdeer was good but this went up a notch.
A great walk in great company, better than watching the telly. On the scrambly bit one or two might have preferred the telly, lol.
Snaps in no particular order.

Time to move on after coffee break

Rugged and rough terrain
