Arrochar

First run over the Arrochar tops for some time, Glen Loin, Ben Vane, Ben Ime returning via the path between Narnain and the Cobbler, 14 miles and 5700' of ascent.



Easy run up Glen Loin then a steady plod up Vane, jackets and wooly hats on for the cold wind and snow at the top, cloud above the tops meant views to savour all round. Careful run off Vane, picking a good line past the crags down into Lag Uaine. The climb up Ime too snowy to take direct so we traversed across above Glas Bhealach to avoid the worst of it.



Super steady snowy walk up, views to Jura, Arran and Ailsa Craig from the top. Run off easy at first over snow then we found a nice dry trod to left of the main path. Finished off with a helter skelter run down the  man made path between Narnain and the Cobbler. Out for just over 4 1/2 hours.
