Springbank Quarry

Tonight I took a cycle up to an old abandoned quarry to look for interesting climbing. I came across some interesting climbs, but very unstable rock that would need to be cleaned up to be safe for climbing. The walk to the quarry walls was not much fun either. Mud and broken bottles.

Ben Lawers, Beinn Ghlas, Meall Corranaich

We could not be bothered going all the way up to Glencoe so headed up Perthshire to do some walking in the Ben Lawers range. The very busy car park at the visitor centre indicated that a lot of other people had the same idea so we headed off round the other side of the massif to explore and never met another person until we reached the summit of Ben Lawers which was like Sauchihall Street. Enjoyed the views over Rannoch Moor and Glencoe and beyond and headed off up to Beinn Ghlas, and then finally to the third Munro of the day Meall Corranaich. Avoided the traffic again and came off down the other side to the resevoir and had a peaceful walk back to the car.
