The Cobbler from the climb up Beinn Eich
Last time I did this route was in a few inches of snow that made for a long slow run.
View from Eichs summit to Doune Hill, the Arrochar Alps behind
The top of Eich, Lochain and Doune Hill had some snow, took a couple of pictures but didn't hang about as it was a cold cold north wind.
Ben Lomond just peekin out over Mid Hill
Stopped just before Beinn Lochains top to put on a pair of ski gloves, should have put them on earlier, don't think my fingers have ever been as cold. Thought about turning back at Doune hill but would have meant staying in that wind, ran straight passed the trig point down towards Sith Mor, too cold to stop for a picture even though the white topped Arrochar Alps were looking great. Good run into the glen then a slow wind assisted plod up Mid Hill and along to the two wee cairns for a quick photo or two.
Snow capped Cobbler, Ime and Narnain over a green Tullich Hill
No Snow on Mid Hill, just a bit of ice
Turned back for the steady descent down Mid Hill to Glen Luss to finish inside 3 1/2 hours.
