The Loch Laggan 3

[thorburn7]

After my epic trip to Fisherfields to cross the half way mark on my munro bagging journey I was looking for something a little less demanding to continue with. Also I wasn't up for another 5 hr drive so soon after the last one. My plan has always been to try and do all the multi munro days in summer and leave solitary peaks for the winter months. With this in mind the 3 munros at Loch Laggan were looking ideal.

Left Greenock at 7am and got parked for about 10am ready to set off. Pleasant walk in to the foot of the hills and just before the real ascent begins you are presented with a wonderful little beach.

Followed the path up along side a small burn. We left the path turning right and headed for the corrie below the first Munro.

We aimed to summit Beinn a'Chlachair from the south ridge.

A steeper climb than the traditional route but that means we gained height quicker. We all love a good scramble so this satisfied our urges.

Finished the walk just in time as the dark clouds rolled in.

Great walk for these hills and the added bonus of the wee beach is nice. This set me up well for the epic South Glen Shiel ridge the week after.
