Route: Ben Vorlich and Stùc a' Chròin
Munros: Ben Vorlich (Loch Earn), Stùc a' Chròin
Date walked: 12/11/2012
Time taken: 5 hours
Distance: 13.5km
Ascent: 1041m
Nice clear day. no point adding anything about route, good path to follow all the way up to Vorlich summit.
Quite an easy summit to reach and would be a fine first munro to do.
Nice views to The Lawers range and Ben more hills.
descend down to Bealach and you should find a nice sheltered spot behind one of the many large boulders for lunch
Followed path up to Stuc and stopped about 50m from summit to try and figure a route up, I walked to the left
for about 50m over a large boulder field. Here I saw an easy way up, theres actually a path. It is still steep and
a bit slippy when wet so take care, I wouldn't attempt this peak in the snow.
For descent follow path down to the left and round the peak to a a small cairn, turn right here down a steep
grassy slope and follow the very boggy path round Vorlich and back to main path, a long muddy slog.
Try to keep a couple of meter above the path if you can, its easier .
A good day out, enjoy
