Overview

The circuit of the hills above Glen Striddle- to Beinn Dubh makes an excellent hike, weather permitting ! The ascent will be via the grassy ridge rising from Luss with great views over Loch Lomond and towards the Arrochar Alps .

The descent from the summit starts off flat, Then becoming steep on the way down to the road, into Glen Luss for the return.

Some parts can be boggy in places depending on the weather :- So Poles and gaters should be consideration.
