The Stob - Nice easy name

Great wee walk, if a bit steep on the way up and down!

Decent day at the start of March, so I headed up to Loch Voil to do The Stob.  Starting to climb from the Monachyle Hotel, looking over to Creag Mhor

But as I was about to hit the hill this didn't really help!

Looking down.  Doesn't quite capture the steepness - don't attempt this in the snow.

Looking up didn't capture steepness either.

View north further up Monachyle Glen

Once up the steep bit there is still a long way to go - The Stob middle left.  Monachyle Hotel bottom right.

Oh, now we can see the hotel, with Creag Mhor behind, and Stob a Choin to the right.

And still a way to go

More hills in the distance.

Made it to a summit cairn.  Now I need to go over that to get back.

To the west - Ben More?

Or maybe this one is Ben More?

Anyway it was all pretty.

Another summit - possibly Stob Caol?

Hills

Getting closer to home

Massive herd of deer almost pictured.  They kept running away!

Nearing the end.  Final descent.

It was very pretty though

Back to the flat, even prettier!
