Phylis said it would be clear on the top – just a minor inversion
she promised as we stood in the wind and clag in the car park. The
mobile café wasn’t open yet so no chance for a quick bacon roll and
coffee either.
Down to the Butterbridge – weather still rubbish. The old road was
a complete quaqmire as the 9 of us started up Beinn an Lochain. An
uneventful ascent and yes the summit was just at the top of the cloud
and we have a pictures to prove it!
Down the short steep side to the carpark where Arthur got the cars
back and quickly into the best pub in Argyll – the Village Inn in
Arrochar.
The 9 who set out were Jimmy & Phylis Smith, Isobel, Dave, Craig
(friend of Isobels), Arthur, Gill Cook, Chris Everet and Linda Clark –
a prospective new member.
Meanwhile Jimmy Steveson, Hugh and Dave Reynolds ascended Beinn
Luibhan and John & Andrew Barnes plus Liz Asher did the Corbett
Beinn an Fhidhleir – both parties also starting and finishing at
Butterbridge
