I had planned to meet the club last Sunday but had a cold all weekend. yesterday Wednesday I felt better and drove up to the car park at Succoth in Arrochar to walk up Beinn Narnain. Have forgotten how many times I have done this hill, though I do enjoy it as it has a couple of short scrambles on route to the summit.
Arrived at the car park in glorious sunshine and before long the jacket and top layer was off. Took the route straight up from the car park passing the concrete slabs then through the crags. Views from the summit were great as you could see Arran and Ailsa Craig to the south and all the mountain tops to the north with snow on the upper tops. The two photos show Ben Lomond and The Cobbler.
From the summit headed north west down to the bealach and was surprised at the depth of the snow on this slope, then south past The Cobbler, the Narnain Boulders then through the forest on the zig zag path to the car.
Spoke to several people who had taken the day off work to do the hills since the weather was so good.

Glad you enjoyed the day Les, and thanks for the good photographs. I used yesterday to climb Ben Nevis with my wife, and while she walked down on her own, I wandered over and bagged Carn Dearg, SW Top. It meant another 250m of ascent, so that was 1600m in all - but the views were worth it !
