Glen Etive Hike

With some free time in the diary Colin headed off north for a 4 night / 5 day break in the Highlands. Stayed at a nice Air BNB in Duror called the Old Byre. 

The first day was a three hour drive up to Glen Etive and another kind of attempt to climb Beinn nan Aighenan. The last attempt was coupled with other summits but bad weather and lack of visibility put a stop to it. Expectations were low this time as the weather was forecast to change for the worse in the afternoon. Initially it was fairly pleasant and a decent path up to the ridge although very steep at the end. The weather did indeed change with strong wind and heavy rain. Totally soaked by the end and Glencoe was absolutely dripping with water as I drove through on the way to AirBNB.
