View from the first steep section of track above Glenbanchor After an easy approach across sheep nibbled pastures, the track into the side valley of the Allt-Fionndrigh ascends a short steep [to those in their 8th decade] hill before levelling out. The view is back into Glen Banchor where a plantation of conifers has suffered damage during winter gales.
