Beinn Dubh Mon 11th May

Went for a walk up Beinn Dubh with number 1 son as he prepares for an attempt on an Explorer Belt towards the end of July. Beautiful sunny evening, cool breeze.

View to Conic Hill over Loch Lomond.



Had to shoo the odd lamb away before mother sheep took exception.

Aim was to reach the top before the sunset and made it ok, not much slower than usual. Had someone else to take my picture for a change as we approached the top.



Spent about 20 minutes at the top taking a few pictures while we waited for the sun to go down cracking views to the Arrochar Alps.



Ben Lomond looking good across the loch as well, no sign of the snow which added a twist to last Saturday's race.



Temperature dropped as the sun went down and the cold wind meant jacket, hat and gloves on. Walked down with the sunset, the wind gradually disappearing as we went. Cut a few corners on the way back, a bit steeper but avoiding the worst of the boggy bits. A few more pictures in the Galleria.
