Beinn Mhic Mhonaidh - Hill of the Son of the Moor

Decent forecast, let's hit the hills


Forecast proved not to be quite as decent - as this other bloke commented when I passed him.  Had already given up on the bike after the first couple of miles or so, but could have got further.

Bit of a view of the hill, though "clear and sunny" not proving quite right

The steep bit at last

Looking back to the woods, and Beinn Udlaih on the other side of the glen

Think that is Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh over there, or could be Ben Lui.  Go away clouds

Southern end of the hill, with the cliffs I avoided - how sensible!

Yep, Ben Lui on the left, and Loch Awe away on the right.

Nearing the top - Cruachan hills I think?

Loch Awe

Summit of Beinn Mhic Mhonaidh, and the clouds had lifted.  This is north west to Ben Starav and the Glen Etive/Glen Coe massif (maybe).

North east to Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh I reckon.  And other fine hills.

Ben Lui refused to come out of the clouds.

Great walk all the same, and the bike meant the return was very quick too.
