With the weather forecast looking great I headed off at about 9 am towards Crianlarich for some munro bagging. Arrived and ready to go at about midday with the weather looking decidedly dodgy with thick cloud all around and no sign of the sun.
The walk headed under the railway and then up a good path on the wrong side of a river. I missed the recommended turnoff up the mountain seduced by the easy going on the path and finally took a sharp left and up the steep hillside when the path came to an end. It was tough going over steep grassy ground. It felt like a bad route at the time but after going back down the "correct" way I'm not so sure.
Finally arrived at the path at a height of around 750 m and headed up the rough track to the summit. No visibility at the top.
Onwards from the first summit and the weather started to clear for the second summit which presented a lovely straightforward walk to the top.
About turn at the summit and back toward the first peak before cutting left the way I had come. Nice views towards the hills we did last week with Max, Johnny and Alistair.
Good walk taking around 5 hrs 30 mins. Pretty tired after this and a cycle the day before.
