Where: Druim Mor (Gallanach), 137m/449', P 88m, Tump. OS 49, NM 841 282 and Dun Clachach (Connel), 78m/256', P32m, Tump, OS 49, NM 905 385
Good weather had arrived in the west of Scotland so it was off to Oban to do some hills before the midges arrived. I drove straight to Gallanach just to the south of Oban where I had one hill still to do. I drove past the Kerrera ferry terminal up the the high point of the road where there was a good parking area beside a building and where a good track started up the hill (and went all the way to Oban). On the track with Druim Mor ahead.....
I branched off the track steeply up the hill at an obvious point and was soon on the unmarked top. It was a fine viewpoint as expected. Looking towards Oban, the Etive hills and Ben Cruachan distant.....
Over Kerrera, the hills of Mull beyond.....
Over north Kerrera with the Ardgour hills beyond.....
South down the Sound of Kerrera.....
Me with Kerrera and Mull beyond.....
It was still early so I decided to head for Connel to bag Dun Clachach. There was again plenty of parking at the start of a track which went as far as Connel loch before taking to the hillside. There were two tops with the Tump being the furthest away.....
West to Ardgour and Mull.....
East to Ben Cruachan.....
Connel bridge and Beinn Lora.....
A good start to the trip.
