Walk 3699 - The Black Lochs from Connel
| County/Area | Argyll and Bute | | Author | Charlotte Starkey (aged 9) | | Length | 6.0 miles / 9.8 km | | Ascent | 750 feet / 227 metres | | Grade | easy/moderate |
This is an easy walk amongst gentle valleys just outside of Oban in Argyll & Bute. The outward route follows a minor road through the valley of Lusragan Burn. The return is on a good, clear path past the Black Lochs and offers good views of the nearby mountains, of which Ben Cruachan is prominent. Although undulating, there are no long or steep ascents, making it an ideal half day walk with children.

So what makes Hunter so much better than all the other brands of wellington? While being very fashionable, they’re a good general use boot that’s comfortable and functional.
More info. Caterpillar Colorado
The classic Caterpillar Colorado style caught my eye. Having worn them for a solid month, I have found them to be a fantastic pair of boots that are very tough.
