Thanks again both of you for this one. These four are on the to do list but as there is a river crossing I need to wait until the time is right when it's low. Concentrating on finishing the last of the Crianlarich range and about to take on Ben More and Stob Binnein soon!
Thanks Marco! There is an alternate route to do the 4 of them, which avoids the river crossing. It’s also a circuit, so avoids the need for 2 cars. You would start in the same place as we did, and follow the same route up until the final descent. Instead of descending through the forest / bog / river crossing, you can descend east off Ben Lui and pick up a track that follows the River Cononish back to Dalrigh. It’s a longer walk, but a lot of people prefer it because it avoids the bog, and is a circuit. Good luck with Ben More and Stob Binnein 👍 We got a cracking day for that last year - superb cloud inversion 😄
Watching all your old routes, picked up on Douglas's last munro choice being Ben More on Mull, thats my plan aswell, think it will be an amazing weekend and have as many friends/family join me, on 172 just now, getting there!, what an amazing day you had on those 4 hills. The Dynamic Duo!!
Thanks! It was a great day of walking (well except for the bog at the end 🙃). Yeah, I’m hoping to make a big trip of Ben More, if and when I get there. It’s becoming slower going as they get more remote and awkward to do. Also love the “dynamic duo” - don’t think anyone has ever called us that before 😁 All the best! Douglas
Thanks Craig, it was a tough one! It’s certainly more manageable to do them separately - albeit you’d have to go through that bog twice when doing Lui 😧
I remember being amazed when I caught sight of Ben Nevis (and the back of the CMD arête) clear as day from Stud an Lochain- at Loch an Daimh, just north of glen Lyon. Its remarkable how far you can see from Scottish peaks on a clear day.

Fantastic effort, long day. Think ill do them separately when i get round to it.

It sure is! Always amazes me 😄
CAN YOU PLEASE SHARE THE ROUTE MAP FOR BOTH BEN OSS AND BEN LUI
Hi there. Which route map are you looking for? All 4 Munros, or just Oss and Lui by themselves?
@@HighlandHikersonly those four munros, actually it is in your video but not clear
No worries - you can download my route from here: www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=99559
@@HighlandHikers thanks a lot. Much appreciated
No problem, hope you get a good day for it!
