Overview

We cross the WHW to start and then the railway line to reach the pinewood on our way to start our ascent. This route can be boggy in places. From the bealach we reach one hill, return, then continue to the 2nd summit. From here, we should have great views, especially of neighbouring Ben Lui. This walk could take 8 hours and travel time will be around 1 hour 45 each way.
