| This series of pictures, photographed around Easter 2001 takes us on a scenic afternoon drive following a circular route from Benderloch round the parish of Ardchattan. |

The Virtual Drive The route goes in an anti-clockwise direction, leaving Benderloch car park and heading south to North Connel. It then follows the north side of Loch Etive until the junction with the road to Barcaldine. Here it goes over a pass into Gleann Salach and rejoins the main road back to Benderloch at Barcaldine. The views would look equally good if we'd gone clockwise - but the afternoon sunlight made for easier photo taking this way (and fewer cricked necks!) |
The Real Thing The journey is of about 12 miles and
is equally scenic in either direction. The route is suitable
for cyclists, as long as you don't mind the steep climb to Gleann
Salach! |
