We started walking around 9.00 am and headed past the dam and along a track round the loch. It was a fairly scenic view and we stayed on the track for about an hour until the track turned into bog and we decided to take our luck through the Heather. It was still very boggy and I got some water in my boot. I stopped to get my water bottle out when I noticed something slither in front of me. I called my dad over to have a look but he didn’t see anything and walked away again. Not even a second after he left a next 2-3 inches long scuttled out of the clump of grass and slithered off. We then started the ascent up Ben Chronzie and reached the top within an hour. It was really crowded on the top which was surprising because we only saw 3 people on the way up. Most people had come up from Glen Turret. We then headed along the ridge to do a horse shoe shape walk, easily topping Meall Na Seide. Then we headed back into more bog before coming to the rocky peak of Càrn Chois. Heading down we started along a path before my Dad decided we were heading in the wrong direction and made us turn off and walk down through the heather and grass but luckily there wasn’t any bog. After finishing the walk we had to head along the dam where we got a spectacular view up the loch to Ben Chronzie.
