Be Narnain our first Munro
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2012 10:07 pmMy first attempt at a Munro with Zach our Lhasa apso pup still only 7 months old but already loves the hills. We started from the car park just outside Arrochar and set of up that zig zagging path until we got to a vehicle path then we turned left and went along for a bit before we turned left up a track and the real hard work started.
I was sore on the legs and I seemed to have to stop after a few step but we eventually got above the tree line. But apart from a couple of short sections the hill was steep all the way. We stopped for lunch about 30min before the top according to Jim Milner (took us more like an hour) but we got there.
Very scary approaching the spearhead buttress but I liked scrambling up the side of it, I did not want to stand on top though I’m not very good with heights.
We went over to the cairn at the top got the photo and then headed of the back and down to meet up with the Cobbler path.
It was a long walk out that seemed to take for ever eventually we were back at the zig zaggy path and we were back at the car thank goodness. It took me a couple of days to recover but Zach loved it.

- it was looking a bit scarry at this point I'm not great with heights
- good fun "I think"

- on the top, great view if you like that kind of thing
