Ben Lomond

Ben Lomond is the most Southerly Munro, and a convenient stop-off on the way home from Glencoe.


I walked up the Ptarmigan ridge, and round to the summit. This seemed preferable to doing an out-and-back up the main path. The initial route finding was a bit tricky (I went a tad too far along the West Highland Way) but once on the right path it was fine.


All the way up, there was cloud covering the summit. I arrived at the top and stopped for a drink. As I sat there, the cloud cleared briefly, allowing me a chance to look at the view.


The path down was a bit busier than the path up, and those arriving shortly after me at least got to see something!

And then the long drive home, and work tomorrow!

(Technical Data: distance = 11.5km, ascent = 1000m)
