The wind had reduced in the night, and I got up to some nice clear skies, and the prospect of a bright day.
Where i was staying ‘Achnabreck’ Forest, contained some ancient Rock carvings http://www.skipnesshttp://www.welcometoscotland.com/things-to-do/attractions/historic-attractions/argyll-bute/achnabreck-prehistoric-rock-carvings-hs , which I was anxious to view, so not having decided what/where to go to, I decided to set off for a look whilst I decided.
I was soon at the first rock carvings, from at least 5,000 years ago, called ‘cup and saucer’ marks, although actually normally concentric circles, done,believed at differing times, but for what significance ?
Then it was further uphill, to view more of them, and look down on Lochgilphead below.
I then returned to Wally, surprising a forest ‘resident’ 
with snow forecast for the higher roads, I decided to move across to Central Scotland, and was soon rewarded woth lovely blue skies, and views I’d never seen before as I travelled through the Arrochar Alpshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrochar_Alps
So, off I travelled along the A83, in great sunshine, although ‘threats’ of what was to come as there were lots of Gritters on the roads, 
and then along the side of Loch Lomond http://www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/ , and around to the East side of it, for views of tomorrows climb Ben Lomond…with snow already on the top, and me raring to go …
I decided to stay at the Camping and Caravan Club site at Mullrochy Bay, and parked Wally alongside the Loch, looking out onto the water, for an easy afternoon, in the sunshine,although quite cool..
