Scottish munros

[atree]

Was fortunate to watch Wales beat Scotland in the Brig this year, I do like the Clachen Inn in St johns. I've got a wee cottage about a mile up the road (towards crocketford) from Balmecellan opp Bar Murrie farm.

 

Usually drive down to the Brig drink several pints of Bellhaven Best then crawl back up the bloody hill!

 

Crocketford lol,Im from just along the road (shawhead)

Does anyone have any experience they want to share and which ones are the best for beginners (i'm trying to pursuade the wife that hills are good!! ), I'd prefer to do the ones closest first in the argyll area.

 

I've done about 220 and the wife's done about 150, but we're not getting them done fast anymore. Cheap flights and good exchange rates made North America our holiday spot for a good few years. When I met my wife she'd never waled up a hill, but now she's happy climbing frozen waterfalls in Canada when it's -25C.

 

We started off on things like Beinn an Dothaidh and Beinn Dorain from Bridge of Orchy or Buachaille Etive Beag. You get 2 Munros for both and they are reasonable short days with easy route finding and food available at the starting point. Ben Vorlich and Ben Vane from Inveruglas are also good easyish ones.

 

My own favorite area is the "Great Wilderness" by Poolewe. I spend a week up there in December and always have a big day there, usuallly alone around the shortest day. The views from Beinn Arigh Charr (a Corbett) are amazing.

I'm hoping after the wife has done a few easy ones she will get the bug and want to continue. Failing that me and the dog will do them on our own.

 

Cheers for the recommendations the views look amazing.
