The intention was to bag two munroes above Glen Lochay taking advantage of the high road from Loch Lyon after a very long slow drive. The good weather forecast hadn't been noticed in this part of the world and the summit was looking cold and wet. After setting off I slipped on the boggy ground after 20 metres and after a further 80 m came to a deep marsh that was too deep to jump across. Rather pathetically I decide this wasn't for me today and headed back to the car and drove down the hill again. The head of Loch Lyon didn't look very inviting for a bike ride so drove onwards to Ben Lawers which was looking much more appealing both in terms of weather and path. Unfortunately I discovered that my water bottle had dropped out of my bag in the car and so decided to turn back after about an hour.
Head on to Killin and cycled up Glen Lochay which was a pretty pleasant cycle. Got a decent view of the alternative approach to the two munros which may try for the next attempt which may well be next year.
Bit of a disappointing outing.
