Today's Munro is brought to you by the letters B,O and G and by the number 10
Up early and headed for the station to catch the 8am train to Tyndrum, got to the lower station at 10.30 and started to walk along the WHW towards the carpark at Dalrigh.
I had read the reports about this and decided to follow the normal path over the shoogly bridge and up through the beautiful Caledonian forest, I crossed the rail bridge and like a few people totaly missed the path and walked the ultra boggy path at the bottom over the shoogle and up into the woods.
Made good time getting to the first fence line in 2hrs but the bogg was starting to take its tole, I was totaly drenched to the knee from the bogg and starting to wonder if I would be able to make it in time to catch the train home?
Soddit I said to myself (thats a norm for me and its not maddness to talk to yourself
) Push your fat rear up the hill n baggit, this is for your 10th!!!
Got to the top and was a bit disapointed, fantastic weather most of the way up and down but the only bit I realy wanted to be nice and clear was clagg bound (dam the weather lol) swithered with the idea of heading over to Oss but taking the time into mind took the safe option and with a fist shake over to Oss (shouting "bag you soon big man") it was back to Tyndrum!
Half way down the bog was realy starting to get on my last nerve and then I remembered Mountainlove's report about the bog free path! A quick look at the map and decided to make for the landrover track (NN3192-2721) crossed the streams(NN3178-2717) where the join just before the waterfall and up onto the track and followed it all the way down to the rail bridge, only problem I had was climbing over the red gates with the shooting warning!!, Im taking it for granted that your not realy ment to go up that track due to the chain and padlock but never saw a no entry sign just the one saying that shooting was taking place around Feb?? But it is a crackin bog free way up or down!
Got to the station with 30min to spare, time to change my socks and try clean my boots a little! found that my boots had ripped so time for a new pair, cant grumble they lasted 2yrs and were only £20 from Go Outdoors!
Time for the pic's!
