East Kilbride hikers bag Munros on 'thrilling' excursions across scenic Scotland
A trip to the Bridge of Orchy area in soaring temperatures and brilliant sunshine gave thrilling hikes.
East Kilbride Hiking Club (EKHC) have been exploring Scotland's scenic Bens and Glens and enjoying the good weather over the past month.
A trip to the Bridge of Orchy area in soaring temperatures and brilliant sunshine gave thrilling hikes with the high group achieving a Munro - the 1004m Beinn an Dothaidh.
Meanwhile the low levellers took in stunning views on their 16.4km hike past Loch Tulla to Loch Ba. Due to coach technical issues the social hour at the Bridge of Orchy was extended and hikers had to endure 2.5 hours relaxation in gorgeous scenery.
Most recently EKHC headed for the Ben Lawers Nature Reserve, north of Loch Tay, both groups heading off north from near Lawers Village and climbing up for a couple of kilometres following the Lawers Burn.
The high group took on the ascent of the Munro 1001m Meall Greigh while low walkers carried on on up, crossing the Lawers Burn bridge on its way to take a look at Lochan nan Cat nestling in a spectacular basin formed by towering Ben Lawers, Meall Garbh and An Stuc.
A social hour at Killin completed a satisfying day out for all.
Have a look at the club website to see where the group are heading next.
