Tyndrum Hills
Ah the Tyndrum hills well what can I say about them... Well to be
honest with you the first thing that springs to mind is the Green Welly
Stop. What a place! Ok now onto the hills, without a doubt the most
impressive hill is Ben Lui ( posh name is Beinn Laoigh). It is another
central highland beast and the pointy ness ( what a word ) of it gives it true
alpine features. These hills are another batch of those hills that "
seem to be seen from every other hill " which is true but that's not
a bad thing. These hills can be accessed in two ways. You can use
Glen Falloch which is the route you use for the Crianlarich
Hills or you can
tackle them from the River Cononish straight off the A85 this is my preferred
route as this is where you get the best views of Ben Lui the other two
hills in the area are Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhchraig are just across the valley
from Lui and Beinn a' Chleibh and make a brilliant aerial photo ( if you have
Cameron McNeish's The Munros book you will see what I mean) however they can
never match up to the stature of Lui. Ok enough about the hills back onto
the Green Welly Stop its such a good place there's an outdoor shop for all your
hill walking needs a brilliant restaurant with hefty portions, excellent! and
they don't care how manky you are when you come off the hills ( I can testify
for that! ). Only four Munros here but offer a challenging climb.
