Number 13 – Unlucky for Some…
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2013 10:20 pm
Finally… a day off work and I’m free to get back on the hills. It’s been a couple of weeks since I was last out and I’ve been itching to get back out ever since. I had also bought a new camera I have been dying to try out.
Luckily for me the Forecast on MWIS looked good. The best I’ve seen it in a while actually…
10 – 15mph winds, dry and greater than 90% chance of cloud free munros on the West highlands. I’ll take that!
I decided to go for Beinn Ime, my final Munro of the Arrochar Alps. I would start from Butterbridge as I didn’t fancy the zig zag path again.As soon as I Arrived in Arrochar the first thing I noticed was the
spectacular view of the Cobbler.
I pulled into the car park at the Arrochar hotel to take some photos. To be honest I don’t think the photos do the view much justice.

I set off from the car about 0930 with the sun just rising above Ime. Quickly got my gear on and set off....

Getting back to the car I had to stop for another photo. Brilliant view
