A beautiful autumnal day, blue skies, a chill in the air, where better to head for a relatively short but energetic walk than Beinn Dubh. A quick drive to Luss, boots on and straight onto the hillside.

Beinn Chaorach, two weeks ago was my last outing having been away last weekend, so it was a steady climb to start with until the gradient eases a little around the 300 metre height and then continues at an easier rise up to the 500 metre height, A short dip and then the final 150 metre climb to the summits. Wonderful.

The views throughout magnificent, the chill in the air reminding me that winter is on it’s way, with even a few patches of thin ice in the wet ground just to emphasis the point. A relaxed break on the summit, taking in the views and a steady return to Luss, what more could I ask for in a short walk on my local hills. Brilliant. John.
