Alltbeithe YHA snow conditions

Hi All, Just looking to see if anyone has been on any of the surrounding hills from Alltbeithe, going up at the end of next week and it would be good to know what the snow /underfoot conditions are like to estimate how long the round of 3 will take.

Re: Glenfinnan Snow?

Re: Glenfinnan Snow?

Thanks both, yeah I kind of guessed the conditions would be 1/2 decent but just wanted to check in case anyone had recent personal experience.

Cheers

Re: Mulladoch Ferry

I used him a couple of years ago and its a fantastic service, he books you in for a timeslot and you pay him at the boat. Well worth the money.

Re: Pack raft

Thanks both, will have a look at forum and decathlon. Yeah just to cross a loch for me, no carrying it about the hills. :lol: Probably use it 3 or 4 times and then it will be relegated to the garage. Might even look out for a 2nd hand one and hope it floats. :? If that's all you want, get a wee inf...

Re: Garmin etrex 32x

Did your Garmin come with mapping?

If not you need to buy mapping

The individual walk reports on this site have GPX routes you can download and then store on your device.

Re: Sunrise Hikes

Got to the top of Ben Lomond 30mins before the actual sunrise and was freezing even with additional layers on. Enjoyed the walk up in the dark but I think that was because it was a clear path all the way to the top. Got some great pictures.
