We are the Strathkelvin Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Walking up Beinn Narnain at an easy pace. Assuming relatively decent weather we'll go up the more "interesting" route up the North-east side of the mountain. It's not scrambling but there are some steep paths over long slopes. We'll take the familiar "tourist path" back down from the bealach.
I can't promise a view, but if we do get a view from the top it will be spectacular; one of my favourites.
We'll be starting at sea level so there's about 3000 foot of climb involved, so while this is an easy pace you'll probably want to have got some hills under your belt this year to get your legs in shape.
We will be aiming to get to the Succoth car park before 9.30am as this car park can get very busy.
Car parking is quite pricy here, from memory about a pound an hour from 8 til 5 or so with no option to buy a full day ticket.
A fit walker moving relatively briskly can be up and down in 5 hours; we'll aim for something closer to 7
The Southbank car park in Kirkintilloch. Meet at 8am to give us time to get to the car park before it fills up
The Succoth Car Park just past Arrochar
