Cobbler, his wife and A'Chrois

Trying out a new hill today, A'Chrois, attached to Beinn Narnain by its west ridge. Tried it in August last year when the clag forced a retreat. First up today was the Cobbler, easy run up past the Narnain Boulders and loads of Beatson 3 peak walkers, met a couple on top who explained the Beatson walkers would be doing 1, 2 or 3 of Cobbler, Ime and Narnain, good effort for a good cause. Good view to the Brack, new race up there today. Easy run down the stairs and across the beallach to the short climb up Narnain.

Short break on top then found a faint path that wound its undulating way from Narnain along and around a few crags finishing in a short steep climb to the wee summit cairn of A'Chrois. Sat here for a while taking in the views.

Set off down a ridge towards Arrochar, the path disappeared after a while, some tussocky boggy ground to cover as the gradient eased in the valley. Found a narrow trod beside the stream that ran towards a concrete sump, the path crossed the stream just before it and cut off to the right for a few hundred yards joining the old concrete block covered access path, ran down to finish in about 4 hours.
