Beinn Lora

27 December 2015

Participants: Neil and Ben
Where: Beinn Lora, 308m/1010', Sub-2k Marilyn, Map 49, NM 919377

The last day of the Oban Christmas break and the first sight of the sun. I decided to go for Beinn Lora above Connel which I had climbed a few times before, it is a good viewpoint for minimal effort. The forestry had improved a number of the paths since I was last here although the part above the forest and before the final climb resembled a bog, not surprising given the wet December we have endured. I took a few photos.

A good way to finish the year.

A great hill for all seasons. Oban has so much to offer visitors in good conditions.
