Good hill day while staying at the Ochils Mountaineering Club cottage in Crianlarich over the weekend, bagging Ben Starav (1078m) and Glas Bheinn Mhor (997m), at the bottom of Glen Etive. As part of the circuit you also go over the Munro Top of Stob Coire Dheirg (1027m), I had planned on including the adjacent Munro of Beinn nan Aighenan, but in the end I didn’t fancy the +300m extra ascent for this outlier. It was a beautifully sunny day with a moderate SW breeze, 9hrs all in (incl. a nap on the 2nd Munro). The A82 trunk road was closed due to an accident just south of the Glencoe Ski Centre, so I turned around to go along the coastal route, only to develop a flat rear passanger tyre. Pulling into the Three Sisters viewpoint car park and after much faffing I got all the nuts off, but the wheel wouldn’t shift. When the AA man arrived, he whacked it with a mallet a few times and the flat tyre just fell off (I’ll need to pack a large hammer next time), I only got back to the cottagchillyman819/09/2020
