Hard to tell when you are on either top because of false summit cairns. The low roaring sound as the wind from across Rannoch Moor hit the cliffs of the Beinn an Dothaig was rather spooky. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5813#post-62584 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:25:39 +0000 DaveC 62584@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>On the subject of Beinn Dorain, I have walked to the top from the Saddle (I won't attemp to spell Beallach - dhoop!!) when walking up from Bridge of Orchy, but I'd love to walk up the slope from the WHW line with crampons on the iced slope. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5813#post-62564 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:33:54 +0000 Cyclingmollie 62564@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As Muriel Gray once said, you wouldn't want to drop your lunch-time orange at the top. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5813#post-62559 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:08:22 +0000 DaveC 62559@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I walked from Milgavie to Fort William once. Waste of time, by the time I arrived FortWillaim was shut.</p> <p>Seriously I enjoyed my walk up there and have gome back since and ridden from Tyndrum to Kings House and back on the MTB. Its lovely in the summer.</p> <p>On the Dimond Jubilie holiday we plan to ride from Calander to Killin and back along the Gleb Ogle line, also on MTBs. Might take my Cotic though ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5813#post-62479 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 01:45:54 +0000 kaputnik 62479@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>really recommend this stretch of the WHW.
