With a day off for his birthday, join Douglas as he bags the nearby Corbett of Ben Donich. On yet another glorious day, enjoy stunning views down to Loch Goil and across to the Arrochar Alps of Beinn Narnain, Beinn Ime and The Cobbler.

The high starting point and good path make this a relatively short and easy walk, but the views are no less impressive than some of the more challenging neighbouring peaks.

Great video, very informative! It makes me feel more confident about potentially tackling this one on my own!

Nice. A fine day always help. Watching this just brings home how thoroughly short changed I was with the weather I got up there!
