As Sumara is locked away in the shed and I am not allowed to work on her until Monday it means that I have some time to fill. As I sat in the campervan I could see a lovely hill across the loch, so I decided to climb up it. I say climb, but it is just a walk really.

I’ve been up Ben Lora before when I was training for the Scottish Islands Three Peaks Race about ten years ago. Actually I twisted my knee when I was running down which wasn’t too clever. If you are based in Oban and about to do the Scottish Islands Three Peaks then it is a very handy training hill to run up. To get to the start, drive over the Connel Bridge and after about a mile you will come across a café and bookshop on the left hand side with a garage on the right hand side. Just before the garage on the right is a small car park where the walk starts. There is also a car park on the left so you’ll be pushed to mess up the parking.
