Beinn Damhain

Far from the Easter madding crowd. A morning stolen, alone. The walk into the hill is uncomplicated, along a land rover track and aside from the initial ugly pylons, the climb up on to this Graham, is excellent. The highlight of the trip apart from the fantastic views from the summit, is the lochain at about 500m. It provided a beautiful foreground to Ben Vorlich and would also be a lovely area for a summer wild camp. At one point, I was actually lying on the ice and it felt 'right'. There was nobody else on this hill except me, which is a shame as it offers a lot. Even with a relaxing meander, the walk only took me 4 hours. Views to Beinn Bhuidhe, Meall an Fhudair, the Crianlarich hills, the Paps of Jura and of course, Beinn Chabhair across Loch Lomond mean that the summit is an excellent place to while away some time. A gem, only 1 hour from Glasgow.
