Ben Lui and Beinn a Chleibh
Set out early to arrive at the mountain around 10 am. A tricky start with a river and railway line to cross and not the most of obvious path to follow. The early part of the trail was very wet and muddy and not very pleasant going until we got out of the forest. The higher ground was better and a good hard slog up the grassy slopes to Ben Lui. There was still a fair bit of snow near the top and it was a bit of challenge to find a safe way through. The descent to the second top was fairly straightforward and a very easy quick ascent to tick off the second munro. We needed to get back to town by 5.30 so it was a fast decent back to the car. Weather and views absolutely stunning. Great day out. About 6 miles of walking, 1200 m of ascent and completed in 4 hrs 53 mins.
