On
the way home from Glasgow on Sunday, Ann & John girded themselves
for a bit of Perthshire Corbett-bagging. We had been hoping to tackle
one or two of the hills in Arrochar but the weather in the west was
foul so east seemed a good option. Auchnafree Hill, up Glen Turret
and across from Ben Chonzie, was the least diversion so we went for
that.
Although
the weather didn’t look too bad it was very blustery with sheets of
water being blown off the loch. The 4 km up the glen into the wind
was a struggle but then for the rest of the day it was on the side or
behind us. Snow conditions low down were soft and deep but it got
firmer with height and would have been an OK ski, if we had them with
us. Views were limited and I didn’t get many photos as the camera
battery was flat, so I had to use a phone. It was difficult standing
up at times on the tops, but we had a fair romp back the car.
