There is not a ferry from Inverbeg now, so longer ferry from Tarbet. Glorious day, up tourist, down ptarmigan. The company (D, N, J, I) and weather meant regular stops for drinks, photos, views, so a slow day, but fantastic! Hot sun back at the Lodge and beautiful return on the ferry.callumorr01/08/2016
