Magnificent Three Beinns horseshoe on Arran

Hill/Walk: Three Beinns, Arran
Category: Corbett
Height: 
Yesterday was a grand day on Arran where we tackled the Three Beinns of Beinn a Chliabhian, Beinn Tarsuinn (The Corbett) and Ben Nuis in an anti-clockwise circuit. 

Crossing the very wet and very boggy grass for an hour. The circuit on the left.

I have posted a walk report these hills previously so I will keep this short and let the magnificent beauty of the island take centre stage. On days last this it is a magnificent experience that few in the Central belt will share, their loss.
A slightly different route in that we took the bus up the String Road saving the long trek in through Glen Rosa.

Stile for deer fence but no help for the burn crossing, nobody fell in.

Although we did have to cross the burn twice, thankfully it was not running too high.
Apart from the amazing scenery the highlight of the day was on the descent where I came across a black adder, a first for me. It was sunning itself on a rock, almost stood on it as foliage covered the track. I started to get my camera out when it darted its head forward, forked tongue came out in attack mode then immediately slipped away into the long grass, quite superb.
An excellent walk in great weather which provided spectacular views. The company in excellent form as well.
