Two Munros, great views, ancient Caledonian pinewoods, and crystal-clear rivers.
Join Outdoorlads for a day of Munro-bagging in the Central Highlands. We will climb both Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhchraig, starting by hiking up through a remnant Caledonian pine forest, and then out onto the open hill. The two mountains, which are linked by a broad ridge, offer fantastic views south over Loch Lomond and north to Ben Nevis.
