Arrochar run

Trying to build up my runs and set off for Arrochar to run Narnain and the Cobbler. Started just after 12, plenty of walkers out going up and down. Warm going up the zig zags through the trees, nice breeze from there to the Bealach a'Mhaim where wind picked up, hat, gloves and jacket on for a trudge up the new Narnain path. A few patches of snow from half way up and despite using my microspikes i turned back at the start of a snow covered boulder field below the summit. Good fun running down snowy banks back to the Bealach. Steady walk up the Cobblers back steps, detour to avoid the usual snow bank. Running again as the slope eased then walked up the snowy slope to the central summit.


Not much to see and turned back after a quick refuel. Soon back at the Bealach and the run alongside Buttermilk burn and back down to Succoth, finished just over 3 hours.
