Description

A 11 mile loop of Coire Grogain north of Arrochar. MWIS had given a poor forecast with cloud down to 200/300m and rain/snow. Decided on low level walk for the day. From Arrochar walked 4km north through Glen Loin on good tracks. Then at old Coiregrogain farm headed east under Ben Vane into Coire Grogain to a dam. From there west through plantation to Glen Loin and 4km south back out. Weather very poor with limited visibility and heavy snow. Easy day as navigation very simple on good forest tracks and occasional tarred lanes.

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.
