A few months after Shaz had been on the ill-fated trip with Bish, I offered her the chance to come with Emma and I up this hill, just South of Tyndrum. Once we set off from the car park, we walked alongside the trainline and then over the gated bridge to start the path proper. However, rather than take an immediate right (which eventually takes you over the burn and then through the Caledonian Forest), we missed it and continued up the Land Rover path until we'd realised our mistake too late. An attempt to cross the burn/river and much mirth was had at the ladies' expense. However, once over this and we had made it to the deer fence, we joined the path proper. It was a bit of a slog attaining the ridge and then we headed South-West back along the ridge to the eventual summit. It was quite a long day (about 6 hours) for 1 Munro but we had a real feeling of satisfaction once back at the Rod and Reel, in Crianlarich.
