Welcome to the site – you’ll find plenty of advice on this site and there are lots of friendly people. Have a look at the tool bar at the top left of the web page and click on ‘Walks’ there is heaps of routes and advice there as well as the general forum board. You can access accounts people have posted in and out of Scotland.

I hope you find something.

Regards,

Paul

Hi
Welcome to the site.
From where you stay, you are within an hours drive from some great climbs.
There are several Munros and Corbetts starting from Arrochar or drive further on to The Rest and be Thankful,
where you can climb Ben Ime, Beinn a Lochain, Ben Donich and Beinn Luibhean.
At Tarbet turn right and head for Crianlarich, park just before the village try Cruach Ardrain a great climb with a ridge that will give you a feel for ridge walking.
This site will give you a lot information
