Ben Donich

[v7mcj]

I tried this earlier in the year but never made the summit due to rain and thick cloud. I couldn't see where to put my foot for the next step.

Today however, was slightly different. Excellent weather, although still a bit wet from the snow melt and very slippery where the snow was still settled and frozen in place. There was also a chill easterly wind, which necessitated a little detour down to the shade of the west slope for a cuppa.

Anyone who has been on this hill will know it's not a long walk as the carpark is quite high, but it still takes it's toll on the legs.

Anyhoo. Here's some pics: -

Bens Ime, Narnain, and The Cobbler.

Down the Clyde estuary.

Some good pics there - certainly looks like you had better weather this time round. I particularly like the last shot you took 'down the Clyde estuary'

was there not much snow about up that way?

Just as you see on Ben Ime (first pic)

It had loads more than that 3 weeks ago. Could you see any snow further north?

Just on the tops.

I think this is Cruachan in the distance.
