Winter navigation day with a client, who is confident in summer, but wanted to improve their skills for winter journeys. Conditions were perfect, with low cloud and variable snow conditions higher up to limit visibility and require the `real time` application of a variety of winter navigation strategies, without being so challenging as to limit the client's ability to concentrate on learning.
Area :
Inveraray to Crianlarich (Ben Lui)
From the Arrochar Alps to Ben Lui, this area is home to nine Munros. Half of the peaks in the area are within the boundaries of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, while the others lie to the west. The three summits of The Cobbler (884m) contain some of the best climbing in the Southern Highlands while Ben Lui in winter looks positively Alpine. Access is relatively straightforward from the A83, A82 or A85.
