Glen Luss Horseshoe Sun 11th March

High winds, clouds, rain, snow so back to the relative comfort of the Luss hills. 2nd attempt in recent weeks to run the horseshoe.

Climb up Beinn Dubh followed by a run along the broad ridge skirting the 2 corries before dropping down into Sith Mor and then the steep climb to the highest point of the run, 2408' of Doune Hill. Undulating ridge run along to Beinn Eich via Beinn Lochain then a quick descent to Edentaggert farm at the top of Glen Luss. A couple of tortuous road miles to finish.

Huge amount of water everywhere today made slippy going on all the steep climbs, even slippier going up Beinn Dubh was the frog spawn inhabiting every pool of water, much the same as Glen Loin a couple of weeks back. Only bits slippier than the climbs were the descents.

Hills empty today only passed 2 guys walking up Beinn Dubh, maybe the low cloud, wind and driving rain had something to do with it?
