We picked a lovely day for this hill and took the route described for Beinn Dubhcraig up to the bealach. However, it did take us the best part of 4 hours to get to this point. I was annoyed with Emma for faffing aboot and let her know we needed to get on. In retrospect, I think she was actually suffering from heatstroke and so I felt quite bad about harassing her. Anyway, once over the bealach, we made a steep decline before a steep incline towards Ben Oss - this is fine in summer but in Winter would be quite a dicey proposition. We got up the summit and joined the hordes - can't believe how busy some of these hills are. A wee photae and it was off back down to the Caledonian forest before stopping for a fish supper on the way home - yum! Em straight to bed and right enough, it had been a bit of an epic. Poor sowel.
Hello and welcome to my bagging blog. In 2003, I walked up a Munro for the 2nd time and bled from my eyes. From the majestic pinnacles of An Teallach to the classic pyramidal Buachaille Etive Mor in Glencoe, follow me round Scotland as I share my experiences.
