The 2012 Challenge, Day 3: Oban to Loch Arkaig (5)

At the top of the pass I came across this signpost, which gets my nomination for the "Pointless Sign of the Year Award 2012". I tried my mobile phone again ... but still no signal. Then I descended into upper Glen Pean which, although not particularly photogenic, is certainly immensely charming. Indeed, as I threaded my way through the boggy patches in search of a good way down beside the young River Pean, I found myself thinking that this was, quite possibly, the most charming glen I had ever walked down. Maybe it was the total remoteness of it all. The lack of any sort of path or track or evidence of human presence. I don't know. All I know is that, despite the obvious difficulties of access, it is a glen which every lover of the wilderness ought to try to visit at least once in their lives. Just don't all try to visit it at the same time, OK?
