STUCHD AN LOCHAIN

od wielu tygodni wyczekiwana wycieczka lazikowa -piekna mamy jesien tego lata, jakos nie udaje nam sie jezdzic w gory zbyt czesto w tym sezonie :(
tym razem stuchd an lochain w okolicy doliny lyon (glen lyon). jest to dosc szybki munro, zaledwie kilkugodzinny szlak. okolica za to jest piekna, jadac w strone glen lyon oraz pozniej wzdloz doliny, nie moglysmy oderwac wzroku oraz nadziwic sie otaczajacej nas soczystej zielonosci i sielskim widokom.

so many weeks we have been waiting for a 'good weather window'! this summer is more like an autumn and we dont really go to the hills too often this year. this time we tackled stuch an lochain, mountain in glen lyon area. the munro is a rather quick one, only couple of hours walk, but the area definitely amazed us and we actually spent there some more time, after the walk... even driving along glen lyon - i just coudnt take my eyes off the juicy greens around...

najlatwiejszy dojazd z edynburga do glen lyon to chyba mala jednopasmowa droga biegnaca obok ben lawers'a  oraz lochan na lairige. jedzie sie nia jakies 25minut, dojezdza do skrzyzowania oznaczonego 'glen lyon' (znak na wschod i na zachod), skrecic w lewo, minac zjazd do zamku (z lewej) i skrecic w pierwsza w prawo (droga oznaczona jako 'droga do jezior' / road to lochs, jedyna droga odbijajaca na prawo). po 5 minutach dojezdza sie do bramy -trzeba wysiasc i ja otworzyc, kolejna 5 minut jazdy i jestesmy na miejscu kolo tamy i jeziora loch na diamh


the easiest access from edinburgh would be going: edi-m9-junction10-callander-killin. then drive along loch tay for about 15mins and turn left (signposted for ben lawers, brown signs). it is a wee, single track road. pass ben lawers, lochan na lairige. after about 25mins road ends with a T junction (both ways signposted as glen lyon). take left. pass small road to the castle, after another 10 mins turn right (one and only turn right along this road) -road is signposted as 'road to the lochs' (or sth very similar). pass the closed gate (get off the car to open it!) drive another 5 mins and you're at the dam and loch na diamh.
