A stunning day on Beinn an Lochain

[absintheboy]

Thought it was about time I posted my first walk report. Early in April, myself and two friends decided to take the drive up to Arrochar to take advantage to the (somewhat) clear weather we were having that weekend. Although we did end up getting caught in a few little downpours, the walk was fantastic with stunning views all day.

Beinn an Lochain is now firmly rooted as one of my favorite climbs so far.

The final gear check/fag before setting off


A very wet and muddy start


Views looking over to Gen Croe (I think)


Looking down to Loch Restil


Glen Kinglas in the distance


The summit looked rather daunting from this angle


Weather heading in


"It's only a little rain"


Time for the steep bit


Not quite as bad as it looked


Good footing despite the wet grass


Looking down to Loch Restil


Stunning views


He had wanted a photo on this spot for a while


More rain heading in


It's always amazing to see just how quickly the cloud can roll in....


....and then back out.


Time for a quick bite to eat


and to appreciate the stunning scenery





Before the final push


Just in time, as the clouds roll in once again

Loved the photo's

Attempted to do Ben Lui from Rest & Be Thankful, until the heavens opened & was up to my knees in water, nice to see photo's from that angle

Thanks folks, I appreciate it. I really should make more of an effort to write up more reports.
