My May hill walks come to two this month, ‘walk one’ and
‘walk two,’ as me and friends went for a three night stay in Inveraray,
Scotland to bag some Munros…
Walk one was Beinn Ime, see previous post. Walk two was Beinn Bhuidhe and it was just me and my
bro Andy this time.
The walk began at the car park on Loch Fynne, not far for the brewery (of which we made a decisive decision to visit later).
We crossed
the bridge and passed the brewery and along a never ending, but good track to
the base of the hill, passing curious but unnerving Highland Cows on the path.
The walk then took us up the side of a gill, which got quite hairy in places,
especially a tricky scramble. The gill behind us, it was a touch slog up to a
bealach, then left to the summit of the hill.
Another cloud free summit, with incredible views. We
returned via a new track built for the quarry and ended up walking through the
quarry works, then to the brewery, where we had a well-earned pint of ale to
reflect on how a tough but rewarding walk that was…
