Inverarnan to Tyndrum

Longer day today, cross the road from the Drovers on the grassy path back to the forest track from yesterdays descent. Followed this up Gleann nan Caoroann past the pipeline following the track as far as it goes towards Ben Oss. Aiming for the bealach between Oss and Lui which was just visible. The cloud level dropped and missed the bealach by about 100 yards, starting the climb up Oss, turned down to the bealach and up to Lui's summit, no views. Back towards the bealach and came off the ridge too early working back to the ridge nearly turned back up Lui again, ignoring the advice of my phones GPS! Spotted Oss's steep flank through the mist and turned back before any extra ascent. Followed a fain path to Oss's misty summit.


Short down and up to Dubhchraig, then about turn back to the wee lochans and down to the Cononish green huts and an easy jog to Tyndrum finishing in just over 8 hours, a few more damp pictures here.

Inveruglas to Inverarnan

Set off about 1 from Inveruglas on the Sloy Dam access route, turned right just past the sub station up to the radiomast and onto a faint path where the road ends. It winds up into a huge amphitheatre of rock and ridges leading to Vorlich's summit. Great route to go up.


Stayed below the ridge line as far as possible to avoid the gusty wind. Joined the usual ridge path a few minutes from the top. Scuttled along keeping as low to the ground as possible grabbing rocks when the wind tried to take control. Windy drama soon over as we made our way over the summit and down into the glen the next climb to the lochains ahead.


Ran over rough wet ground towards the last descent into Inverarnan. Finished in the sun in about 5 1/2 hours. More pictures here.
