Route: Ben More and Stob Binnein
Date walked: 07/07/2020
Time taken: 7 hours
Distance: 12km
Ascent: 1174m
Left Glasgow around 6 am and arrived at Portnellan, Just by Ben More Farm Crainlarich and managed to get parked no problem on the verge.Rain was forecast for the day so I was well equipped to deal with anything that was coming my way, Given i have been on lock down for the past 14 weeks, So Rain was not about to stop me
Well established & visible path most of the ascent and met 3 lads building the path into the mountain at around 700 metres
Summit was under cloud cover and temperature fluctuating due to the wind blowing from the north.
Good climb, Not to much in the way of scrambles to deal with on route to the top, No summit view on arrival, Fantastic feeling reaching the top, as its a climb the hole route up...
On ascending down to ben more towards stob binnein the clouds cleared and the sun appeared around 11.30, Revealing the full valley and the path to Stob Binnein & views through both sides of the vallleys - Stunning.
Descent back down from Stob binnein and picked up the clear path hugging the side of Ben More, Very boggy on route down however nothing to worry about with good boots and gaiters.
Superb views the hole decent - Picked up the path along benmore burn back to Car....
Fantastic few hours out on the hills, Cant wait until sat, Back out again.
