Stob Ban

Glen Nevis campsite for the weekend and an opportunity for a run over my favourite hill, Stob Ban in the Mamores. Forecast was for heavy rain all day, got lucky, dry and mostly clear. Got a lift to the Lower Falls car park and set off up the rough path between Stob Ban and Sgurr a'Mhaim, ran bits but a brisk walk for much of the climb up to the ridge, the tops clear as I ascended, ran along the ridge to the rocky climb to Stob Bans airy summit, the clouds rolled in as I climbed, soon on top, not much of a view but good to be there again, a few minutes taking it all in then back down the way I came, the steep rocky descent much easier on the way down, ran along the ridge, looking back the top had cleared again. Jog and walked down the rough path back to the Lower Falls, the forest track bacK to the campsite seemed to be covered in trucks and machines so I ran down the road, 2 1/2 miles of not so nice tarmac, the views were good.
