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.
This was a recce walk I did. I was planning to do Ben Vorlich as a walk with my Meetup group, and I wanted to see if it would be possible to return via the east, instead of via the ascent path. My fitness was starting to improve rapidly, following a few years of poor health, and I got to the summit much more quickly than I'd expected. I then started to head down in a south-easterly direction, but I felt quite nervous, as there was no one else around and visibility was very poor. After a while I found myself back at the main path, and I decided to abandon my alternative navigation plan. At the time I wasn't as confident in my navigation skills as I am now.
