Doggos Bag Their First Munro...

Doggos on approach to the summit...
Back in June (24th) myself and Jennifer managed to make the most of the sunny weather and decided to bag the outlying Munro of Beinn Bhuidhe. Beinn Bhuidhe is considered one of the Arrochar Alps' Munros but is separated from the main group by the long Glen Fyne. Sitting at the top of Loch Fyne the summit is 948 metres above sea level.

We parked up at the access point in Glen Fyne and headed up the West bank of the River Fyne. After 7km and a few jumps in the river by the dogs we reached the cottage at Inverchorochan. From here we headed West up the Allt na Faigh waterfall. Part way up the waterfall we found some rock pools which were perfect for the dogs to have a quick cool down in.

When we finally exited the waterfall we arrived at a small, flat clearing South-West of the summit and were faced with a steep climb before reaching the main summit ridge. Once along this we arrived at the summit and had some well deserved food whilst taking in the views from all directions. A first for both the doggos (Leon and Lola)

The route taken...
Once we arrived back at the clearing we made our way down the long (newly created) hydro track which heads down the West side of Newton Hill before reaching the glen floor and the long walk back to the car.
