Route description: Ben Lawers and Beinn Ghlas Munros included on this walk: Beinn Ghlas, Ben Lawers Time taken: 4.5 hours Distance: 10.5 km Ascent: 968m |
Unfortunately for us the 06.45 start from the car park was greeted with grey foreboding clouds and a stiff breeze ! Still the cloud was high enough that the summits were clear and I'd take that all day long.
The path is great and steadily climbs up through the nature reserve before you get the first glimpse of Beinn Ghlas. The views quickly open up and you can easly make out the Loch Earn Munros as you gain height. As we reached the small summit cairn on Beinn Ghlas I was puzzled by the idea that people pass over here without appreciating it is a Munro in it's own right. It seemed pretty noteworthy to me !
