After Saturday's epic day on Beinn a' Bheithir I couldn't see myself doing anything too challenging so I decided upon these two hills as they were on my way back east and I knew the walk would only take 6 hours or so. Jockstar was also heading back to Fife so I suggested he tag along. After we said goodbye to the gang at the bunkhouse in Glencoe we headed to the cars where we met Nathan who claims we twisted his arm to join us, but in reality he twisted his own arm. We got started from the Bridge of Orchy just after 10am and made our way up the wet track to the bealach. For pretty much the entire route we reflected back on the weekend, mostly with laughter and fond memories of the various comedians in the group. We stopped for a break at the bealach before trudging up the boggy slopes of Beinn an Dothaidh. No view from the summit. These guys must think I like punishing them with cloudy conditions. On the way down Nathan starts talking about getting Pizza Hut when he gets home at which point I became pretty jealous. Of course by the end of the walk he had revised his strategy: he would eat a Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza in his bathtub, with a beer, while reading the newspaper. Jockstar and I really couldn't compete with this plan
.
We all agreed that Beinn Dorain was the finer of the two hills since there was at least something to look at. The cloud did clear off the summits and we were rewarded with fine views over to Ben Lui and later Ben Nevis. In light of the previous days' epic adventure we all felt a real sense of achievement after doing these hills. Thanks to Jockstar and Nathan again for the fine company and the excellent chat. I hope that pizza and fish n chips hit the spot later on for you boys, even if you ate it in the tub.
