Mid afternoon start for this 9 mile 3700 foa run in the Luss hills. Views to the South & West looked clear, to the North dark clouds obscuring much of the views.
Usual breezy ascent up Beinn Dubh @ 642M in just under 45 mins. Kept to the path along the broad ridge to the un-named top (657m) in about 18 mins and another 18 mins down Mid hill to Glenmollochan farm. 20 minute climb up Coille-eughain hill (449M) through shoulder high Thistles followed by a 20 minute run down over the Paps and back to the car at the bottom of the glen.
Tried a couple of route changes on the way down, one worked, one didn't through thick Ferns and Thistles. Finished in a few seconds over 2 hrs 30 mins.
Would have been a minute or so quicker but had to have a wash in the river after ploughing through thigh deep mud in the fields below the Paps - didn't smell like mud.
Couple of pictures in the Galleria.
