Luss Sat 4th April

Met at 8 Sat morning with no real plans & went with the suggestion of Luss Hills the route would depend on time and how we felt.

Set off on the long climb to Beinn Dubh. Reached the top in just under an hour, felt slower but quite easy. We had entered the clouds on the way up & this meant head down to concentrate on the path which twists its way round the two corries.

From the back of mid hill we dropped down into Sith Mor but instead of crossing the valley for the ascent of Doune Hill, we contoured down the glen to pick up the farm track back towards Glen Luss, mindful of others fragile state! This would give us similar mileage but a shorter climb, to 1500', up Coille Eughain Hill.

Pleasant run down the Paps and through the fields and woods back to the car, about 11 miles with 3800' of ascent in 3 hrs 21.
