Description

I wanted to do a solo wild camp, and I was planning to climb Stob Ghabhar with a friend the following day, so Beinn Inverveigh seemed like a good location, not too far from Stob Ghabhar. I decided to set up camp at an altitude of 550m, having found a relatively sheltered spot with a small stream nearby (a very small stream). The main challenge was marshy ground all over the place. I managed to find a dry enough patch, and I was treated to a nice sunset. I cooked dinner, settled in and had a fairly good sleep. The next morning I made breakfast, washed, packed up the tent, walked back down to Victoria Bridge and met my friend at 8.30am.
I really enjoyed the experience.

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.
