Sunday, 15 September 2013  Beinn Dorain.Bridge of Orchy. A
questionable path?  It must be twenty years since my feet and I
tramped up the grassy path from Bridge of Orchy Station to climb
Beinn Dorain. I have fond memories of the place as I've camped
and stayed here with various clubs during my Munro bagging days.
Must be over 30 times at least, sometimes camping beside the
stone bridge near the Inveroran Hotel, at one time my favourite
highland pub. Many musical evenings spent in there. I've been up
Beinn Dorain at least five times but the last was two decades
ago. It was not the best of days as the forecast had changed
from sun to mist and drizzle overnight but both myself and Ron
decided to go up it anyway. It was a new hill for him. Nowadays
most of my hill-walks take place on Corbetts, Grahams, and
Marilyns so I'm used to faint tracks up mountains or, in most
cases, none at all. Thirty years ago all but the most popular
Munros like Ben Lomond,  Ben Nevis or Schiehallion  had the same
faint paths up them.
