Cobbler is a very distinctive peak, though as a walk its only really interesting once you are up. The initial section through the wood is a bit of a chore - quite a bit of elevation gain with no vie… Full review by Waddler

We are heading up in December (28th - 30th) with my in-laws (very fit 76 and 80 years old). We often walk hills and things (Gummer’s How in the Lakes etc) and I’m just wondering if this walk would be suitable for us at this time of year? Obviously, we can’t tell if there will be snow but we’d be bringing hiking poles with us anyway (my in-laws always do). Any advice would be great

I would say that at that time of year I would be wary of any trek in the arrochar alps as they are known small path near the summit is narrow with touch of scree good luck but be careful
please can someone tell me how long this hill takes to climb up and then come down. I am of normal fitness but I do have a 9y old boy and 8y old boy . they ate pretty sporty but young . so please tell me how long it takes and will my boys be ok ? thank you so much
How long would you say the entire club would take? And do you think the unfit should give it a go as well or should they try something easier? Thanks, Rohan
A:
I wouldn't say it's a hard hill to climb, the start through the woodlands is the most difficult stage. There is a difficult accent which is steep and rocky but there also is an easy way up.
