Beinn Chuirn

This is a retrospective (very much so) account of a short pad up this hill in August. I went light and decided I'd run in from Tyndrum upper train station, which has a lovely meander through the forest and then out not far from the gold mine. It wasn't long before I started the ascent up the grassy contours, not far from the Eag. I steered well away from the steeper ground and made my way up to the summit - at times, the weather closed in and it became very cold. Once at the summit, I could see right down and over to the neighbouring Graham, which I'd done a few years ago. I fair piled down the hill and continued my run back out and up into the forest, back at the car within a credible 2.5 hours.
