We are the Helensburgh & West Dunbartonshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Walkers must book in advance with the walk leader
A strenuous walk with river crossings and steep climbs taking in two summits.
From Glen Lochy we cross the River Lochy (no bridge) and ascend through forest turning east as we leave the forest to climb the east spur of Ben Lui. We follow this spur to the NW ridge which we then follow to the summit. From the summit a steep descent leads to the col before Beinn a' Chleibh. We return to the col and then descend back to the forest and join our outward route at the forest.
