| 1. Catch an early ferry from Gourock to Kilcreggan.At Kilcreggan the coast road is easy till Coulport.
A long climb for a mile then a great quiet wide road to a roundabout.
Turn left then follow the side of Loch Long to Arrochar(10m).
From here Take a break, have some lunch and get ready for a long gradual climb to the Rest and be thankful(views are stunning).

This is your treat, a 4 mile, newly laid downhill through the glen, then up through hells glen.
