    I think a'Chrois is the only Arrochar Alps peak I haven't done. Probably because it's not a Munro or Corbett. 😝

      It requires the kind of commitment you regularly demonstrate Mr Robin... I've stood on Narnain and looked across on a few occasions and thought..... naaaa... Not today.. I am glad to do it though.. twas niggling me.. Next time you see it... Smile in the knowledge that I did it for you... 🤜🤛😎

    This hill has annoyed me for a few months now Jim. I simply didn't know the route as I wasn't sure if it could be accessed via the Vane and Vorlich track leading up from Inveruglas. Judging by your route up the zig zags from Succoth I'm guessing it's just a case of heather bashing and contouring around Narnain where you would ascend via the spearhead.

    • @BoredManOutdoors
      @BoredManOutdoors  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the popular route is via Narnain, across the 'top' to A' Chrois then down the front I took in a loop. I did a straight out ' n' back retracing my steps. I bet it's tough in summer with grass n bracken... You can get from Ben Vane to Ben Ime... 👍👍👍🍻

As you can imagine I was gutted to look out the window on Sunday morning to see a reasonable covering of the white stuff even here in deepest darkest Lincolnshire. Would of been a good night in the peaks. Haven't had a good snowy camp for a couple of years now. With commitments over the next 2 weekends it's probably going to be after Xmas now before I get out again. ☹️
