Brilliant weather on Cruach Tairbeirt

13 October 2015

Participants: Neil and Ben
Where: Cruach Tairbeirt, Sub-2k Marilyn on Loch Lomond-side (again)
 
This is one of my favourite sub-2k Marilyns for views and I have climbed it on a number of occasions. Today, the weather conditions were perfect. The actual walk was a bit of a problem though. There were a lot more fallen trees than when I was last here so the early stage of the walk was a bit of an obstacle course. Once out of the forest it was a different problem. The vegetation was still luxuriant, probably boosted by the late summer weather, and the path difficult to follow in places. The grass and ferns concealed a number of holes in the path and I think that I was lucky only to discover two of them! This route certainly now requires care.
 
All was worth it however when I reached the summit. I'll let the photographs tell the tale.
 
Nearing the top, the Cobbler and Beinn Narnain appear.....

It's a nice hill and viewpoint. Ben looks as though he enjoyed himself as well.
