2 turns into 3

Arrived at Succoth car park at 8.45 ready to tackle Beinn Narnain and Beinn Ime only to find the car park ticket machine has returned So after a quick dash back to Tarbet for some money off i set, with Mia as always, to bag another 2 Munros As you start on the main path you quickly find the start of the 'real' path on your right, although it is quite overgrown it's easy enough to spot, then its straight up you go over the concrete blocks.

The main path

The 'real' path

Just follow the blocks.

The track can be quite wet in places with a constant flow of water but nothing to tricky.

Splish splash

Beinn Narnian comes into fulll view

Looking back to Ben Lomond

The 1st scramble

The Cobbler makes it's 1st appearence

Mia wondering why i'm so slow :)

A great wee scramble

Is that the top Mia? Nope!

The Spearhead

The final scramble

Mia at the cairn

We made it, 1 down 1 to go

Beinn Ime, your next!

The descent and ascent to Beinn Ime is relatively straight forward and the path is easy to follow all the way although it can be quite soft and boggy in places.

Across the bealach and through the gate

Heading for the summit

I'm coming Mia :)

Summit no.2

Objective achieved 2 Munros done time to go home or so i thought

Decision time to Cobbler or not to Cobbler?

Mia says yes

The path my legs wanted to take :)

Last look at Narnian

And the Cobbler

Another wonderful day complete and i even managed to get a bit of sunburn

Hey Sonic I loved the summit of Ime the views are fantastic aren't they? Found Narnian a tough start to the day but once i got going it was great, the final scramble up the Spearhead is great fun Never thought of doing them the other way round maybe try that the next time

Im doing these guys next. A great report and I shall be banking on it for my walk with regard to the pictures taking as a reference. Thanks

[Jabber]

You look like you had a great day up there . Can't ever imagine going up there without taking in the Cobbler, just got the Cobbler's wife to take in on my next visit and that'll be up Ben Luibean from the Rest & Be Thankful or from the car park towards Butteridge..because I do enjoy Beinn an Lochain which I also consider as the hidden gem in the Arrochar Alps.

Thanks Gary, it's a great 'wee' walk Once you find the start of the path at Succoth just follow your nose, only bit where the path becomes loseable is after the 1st scramble on way up Narnian but you pick it up again quite easily. Good luck with the climb.

Really enjoyed it Jabber, as a newbie it really has gave me a thirst for more and with so many out there its great to get recommendations for my next trip. Had a wee look at other reports on Beinn an Lochain and it looks a cracker so thanks for the tip mate
