Re: Loch Etive - which side?

I should have added that I walked from Taynuilt to the north end of Loch Etive, camping around Dalness in Glen Etive. Camping spots were hard to come by.

Re: Loch Etive - which side?

I walked along Loch Etive in 2012 https://blogpackinglight.wordpress.com/2012/05/20/tgo-challenge-2012-part1/

Re: Loch Etive - which side?

Many thanks for the helpful replies and your experiences - as a result, it will be West Side Story for me in May.

Re: Loch Etive - which side?

I did the west/north side in 2009, although i did have a route planned for the east side if I felt up to it. The west side was pretty straightforward, although obviously not as many hills to get a look from atop of.

I should note that after Glen Etive I went north through Altnafeadh instead of NW to Glencoe, but at that point East and West will have already merged, unless you would stray further west towards Achallader or Orchy.

PS Loch and Glen Etive are both beautiful!
