As we started to climb we began to get a better view of the River Etive and of course the loch, which was not far away. In the car we'd been debating whether Loch Etive is a sea loch or not. In fact it is, although it is 20 miles from the head of the loch where we were to Connel Bridge where it opens into the sea, and it is never more than a mile wide at any point. On the far side of Glen Etive we could also now see two more Munros, Beinn Fhionnlaidh and Sgor na h-Ulaidh, of which we had hazy views for most of the day.
