Onward and upward for my 4th Munro. I have completed my first 3 with just me and the dog, but i had company for this one. 2 friends who shall we say are far more experianced than me. We set off from Inveruglas car park about 7.30am and headed up the track to the base of Ben Vorlich. Weather was fine and we started the climb.
Reasonable track, slightly boggy in small areas, but i found this one very steep in places which definitely worked the old legs. Cloud closed in a few times, but nothing major. On the top it was relatively calm, but the views were restricted with cloud which had started to come in more as we climbed, it cleared every few seconds so it gave me a chance to get a couple of decent pictures.
Thoroughly enjoyed again and the company was nice to have.
Looking forward to the next one. hopefully next week.
