Bridge of Orchy Camp & Munros

(28.5.16) Beinn Dorain & Beinn an Dothaidh, Bridge of Orchy: 16km, 7hrs 4 mins, 1238m ascent

Forecast looked good so left Edinburgh early afternoon, Citylink to Glasgow & then a change at Queen Street Station. A few hours later I arrived at Bridge of Orchy & camped behind the hotel in the forest. It was a very claggy morning as I packed up after breakfast & headed under the underpass at the Station, over the gate & out onto the open hillside. Climbed East up the grassy bowl of Coire an Dothaidh and then up to the bealach at 744m. Spoke to a couple who had camped out in the clag & then headed up the path South, Passed a large cairn, Sasunnaich (The Englishman’s Cairn) up to the next bealach, along the ridge & to the true summit. Did not hang about long as I was in the clag. Returned back to the bealach just as the clag lifted, revealing Glen Lyon. Headed NE on the path towards Beinn an Dothaidh. Headed for the 993m Top first before heading to the true summit at 1004m. I headed along the edge of the crags to the West Top & views over to Loch Tulla. Then South back to the path, bealach & down to the Bridge of Orchy Hotel & a quick pint before the Citylink bus in the sunshine. A nice wee solo adventure.
