Wow, gusts up to 70mph!!! I've been blown off my feet with gusts of 55mph!

Certainly an unusual route, with some superb views at the end (the Cobbler looks wonderful)...

But there was some weird kind of mountain creature invaded your sedate vid at the end .... a troll??? :D

My weight of 107 kg plus 13 kg rucksack keeps me on the ground :lol: :lol: Good round with the Graham, totally pathless so you can choose your own way, there is a fence to overcome before ascending Cruinn a'Bheinn, need to find a decent way down as there are some rocky places and slippery grass, then moorland on the bottom before connecting the hardground track leading down to the West Highland Way.

The "Troll" was celebrating - happy to get out of the wind and bogs :lol: :D then enjoyed @ 9km :roll: of the bottom views over Loch Lomond towards Arrochars 8)
