The Cobbler

This weekend , and old German Dundee Uni friend was across for a visit so we went for a walk up The Cobbler by Arrochar. We set off to Queen Street to make the 8.30 train but missed it by a minute (thanks phone app!), so after a coffee and a walk in town we got onto the 10.30 train then walked up and around the Cobbler, via the mid-path scramble and the ridge off the left most peak, threading the needle on the middle peak along the way.
It was another scorcher of a day but we had a good time and watched the guys climbing and soloing on the way down, who were going well, with some guy climbing hard.

A great lead up Rest and be Thankfull by some guy

It's easily do-able to take a trip up it, make a pub stop and then make it to the station for the half 6 train back to Glasgow. Plus by taking the train you get the lovely views over the lochs on the way back which you miss on the road (as well as the comedy drunken neds getting on closer to Glasgow)!

The Cobbler is always worthwhile in any weather I find!

Today we biked up to Luss which was nice and got the train back to mine so Nina could make the train to Edinburgh to fly back to Germany. Always nice to catch up with old friends and get out and about.

A not so great second!
