Yesterday I set off to do some cycling around Glen Orchy and Dalmally. However, the one thing that hadn't occurred to me when I checked the forecast was that the -2 meant it would be frosty and icy. Hence, as the car slithered down the glen I decided to change the plan, and walk at least part of the route instead. I'm rather glad that I did though, as the track along the west side of the River Orchy really wasn't fit for cycling, what with the gates tied up with string, the rickety bridges, muddy potholes and so on.
I walked from a little picnic site where there's a footbridge, down the west bank of the river all the way into Dalmally, and then back along the road. The A85 isn't really the best route for a walker, but it was only for a mile, and there was a wide verge most of the way!
With an hour or so before dusk, I then drove down to Dalmally and cycled the old B road through Stronmilchan and down into Lochawe village, so despite the last minute change of plan, I actually managed to do over half of what I had set out to do!
