Description

This was a walk I put on for my Meetup group. Fifteen of us went. About five people rushed ahead quite fast, while the rest of us were happy to go at a moderate pace. One man appeared to be having a bit of difficulty near the top, but he said he was fine, and we all made it to the summit in good time. One man had accidentally left his walking boots at home, and did the walk wearing Hush Puppies. He tried to keep this quiet at first, thinking I might send him home, but it gave us all a laugh and he didn't seem to have any problems. It was very cloudy on the summit ridge, yet warm and sunny on the banks of Loch Lomond when we returned to Inveruglas.

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.
