<p>I had a cracking solo walk on Tuesday, up <a href="http://www.multimap.com/maps/?title=Walkingworld&#038;t=l&#038;map=54.5637916,-3.1898653|15|4&#038;loc=GB:54.5637916:-3.1898653:15&#038;dp=841#t=l&#038;map=56.12206,-4.73456|14|4&#038;dp=841&#038;loc=GB:56.19558:-4.74846:14|arrochar|Arrochar, Argyll and Bute, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, G83 7 ">Beinn Eich and Doune Hill</a>, just to the west of Loch Lomond. I started from Glenmollachan farm.</p>
<p>Snow on top, but not so much that walking was difficult. As the wind was from the NW/NNW most of the walk was sheltered. The worst bit was the descent into Glen Mollachan and the first 2km walk along the floor of the glen before hitting the landrover track. And this was due to the terrain.</p>
<p>Cracking 360 degree views from the top, NW towards the Arrochar Alps, NE towards the southern Highlands, SE over Loch Lomond and S down the Firth of Clyde.</p>
<p>And I even managed to bag a trig point for <a href="http://geomaticsruth.blogspot.com/">Ruth</a>. I&#8217;ll let you work out the grid ref.</p>
