242. Beinn Bhuidhe (216) 03/05/2022

Needing a half-day walk to allow for the drive south, we went for Loch Fyne. Beinn Bhuidhe involves a long walk-in along a farm track, before taking a path up the hillside following a stream. It was a great path, but Cicerone told us to leave the path below a prominent waterfall (which we duly did) and make our way up the grassy slopes. This was OK and despite losing our direction slightly in the mist, we were able to find the way trough the hill's defences onto the summit ridge. However, we found on the descent that had we followed the path it would have taken us straight there in a more direct way. Anyway, we weren't delayed by the navigational challenges for too long and the descent back to the track was fairly rapid.

After walking back along the track, we were also able to stop at the Loch Fyne Brewery, which was the perfect refreshment for the end of the walk. 1050m, 5h15, 22km
