We are the Glasgow Ramblers. If you enjoy walking or want to give it a try come and join us.
This walk is now full. If you wish to be added to the waiting list please contact the walk leader.
Due to unforeseen circumstances the above walk scheduled for 31st Aug ended up being from Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy.
In accordance with that, priority booking is given to those who were in attendance on that walk.
For those walkers who were booked on the walk previously, please do not get in touch with the Walk Leader until Monday 16th September.
For those walkers who were not booked on the walk previously and are hoping there will be some places or to be added to the waiting list please get in touch with the Walk Leader from Tuesday 17th September.
After alighting from the bus, we make our way up to the Glencoe Ski Resort where we can make use of the toilet facilities and have a coffee break. From there we head back downhill to join the West Highland Way heading south, picking up parts of the historic drover road crossing the expansive and exposed Rannoch Moor. In fine weather it’s a place of beauty but can be wild and forbidding in inclement weather. On the way to Inveroran we cross several bridges including Ba Bridge and Victoria Bridge.
Leaving Inveroran we head uphill and make a short detour to visit a cairn which offers superb views across Loch Tulla. From there we are walking mostly downhill on a zigzag path, Bridge of Orchy coming into view with the two mighty Munros (Beinn Odhar and Beinn Dorain) backdropping the village. We should have time to spare before heading back to Glasgow on the 18:48 (914) bus.
This is classed as a moderate walk. There is a fairly steep ascent from Inveroran to the cairn at the summit of the hill. Although this section of the WHW is mostly on wide pathscare must be taken as parts can be uneven underfoot and slippery in wet weather.
Snacks and water for bus journeys is advised as we will be having a late coffee break and a late lunch break, both being on the stretch from The Ski Resort to Inveroran.
If you wish to come on the walk you must contact the Leader in advance by email, text or phone call, but not more than two weeks in advance. Also, please provide the Leader with a mobile phone number in case arrangements change.
Walkers should not come on the walk if they have any symptoms associated with the Covid virus.
