Beinn Udlaidh and Beinn Bhreac-liath from Glen Orchy

[David Lyall]

With no real Munro’s left with in easy driving distance I have started keeping fit by trying some Corbetts and Grahams. I have never been to Glen Orchy so it seemed like a good place to go.

The track at the start before you turn on to the grass.
I set off at 7am from Dumbarton on a bright clear day and was ready to start walking at about 8.15. I followed the route on Walkhighlands. The first pull up that hill is not much fun luckily the grass is all dead at this time of year, even my wee dog was struggling getting up this first hill. The views just get better and better and once the steepest section is over it is a great walk. Just as good as many Munro’s I have tackled.

Zach decided enough was enough and went for a sleep.
