The top of Beinn Bhuidhe

I took the bus to Cairdow/Loch Fyne Oyster Bar and walked the paved road in to Glen Fyne, which after a while turns into a path, til I reached the landmark of an old cottage. There was supposed to be a path up the ben at the cottage, but I couldn't find it so I just walked straight up the mountain heading for the top. It was very steep and included jumping over a sheep fence at one point. Almost at the top, of course I found the path leading there. So, hey, a path, that'll make the descent much easier, right? Well, a path that is in many parts very dilapidated might not be so easy after all and it required quite a bit of scrambling to get down, so I'm very glad I took the steep sheep way up the ben after all! In the end I returned safely down the mountain and the path led me to the other side of the same cottage I used as a landmark fot getting up, d'oh! Walked the road back to the head of Loch Fyne and made it just in time for the last bus back to Arrochar.
