Beinn Dubhchraig and Ben Oss from Tyndrum

This is a super hill walk covering a range of very different terrains. Starting from a good car park, a 1.5km walk-in on a road and a vehicle track is followed by a short but very boggy traverse of some rough ground, leading to an interesting river crossing.

Once across the river a rough but easily followed path climbs for 2km through beautiful Scots pine and birch woodland. Beyond the woodland the path climbs for 1.7km over open, grass-covered slopes, closely following the Allt Coire Dubhchraig stream with its interesting rock formations and many pools and waterfalls.

Eventually the path reaches an undulating rocky ridge and a clear path along the ridge links the two Munros, Beinn Dubhchraig at the east end and the higher Ben Oss at the west. Both peaks give amazing views to the surrounding hills, in particular to Ben Lui, a very near neighbour of Ben Oss. The return route retraces the outward route to the start.
