Loch Etive and Glen Kinglass.

I may be up for doing this route again only doing it clockwise.

There's a bothy half way round if you want to take less stuff, see here

I'm easy if I give the missus enough notice. End of April, beginning of May should be fine I reckon. Potential maybe to extend to a long weekend??

[Ray Young]

So is this going to be put up on "Anyone playing out"?

[Taylor]

Post it and they will come.


BELIEVE :evil:





End of April is probably the wife's preferred option.

[sillybigfella]

So is this going to be put up on "Anyone playing out"?

Naw, let's be awkward and keep it here

Let's say the last weekend in April then (26th - 28th)????

[Taylor]

Wife says yes to that weekend but I'll have to check with the outlaws as they'll be the ones babysitting.
I wouldn't have thought it'll be a problem.
My only obligation is seeing my son in Carlisle after school on the Friday then I'm free until Monday afternoon/evening.

[sillybigfella]

Sounds like a plan then.

[Ray Young]

When I planned this route I also plotted a figure of eight route that I now know could be done in 2 days if your interested.

[Taylor]

Is Loch Etive/Glen Kinglass not a 2 day route????

[Ray Young]

Yes it is a 2 day route, Gari and I finished it mid afternoon second day. It was dry and sunny when we did it . If it's wet there will be a lot of streams to cross that where dry when we where there. The figure of eight route adds about 20/25 miles. Starting at Taynuilt the fig 8 on day 1 does an anti clockwise circuit of Loch Etive with 50/50 road/off road. Day 2 would be mostly off road with the descent into and along Glen Kinglass in the afternoon.

[Ray Young]

Revise that extra mileage, be more like 15 miles extra if starting at Taynuilt as you miss out some at Bridge of Orchy.
