Description

This was a wonderful walk that I put on for my Meetup group. Fourteen of us went. It was a lovely warm day, but not too hot. We all made it up the steep face of Stob Garbh, with just a couple of people a few minutes behind and a couple of fast ones a way out in front. We spent a while having lunch at the summit of An Caisteal and admiring the views. A couple of people (including one of the fast ones) needed a bit of help getting up the "Bad Step" on Beinn a'Chroin, but there were no major problems. I described it as a moderately-paced walk, and we generally took our time and enjoyed the views and the conversation.

Area : Loch Lomond to Strathyre (Ben More)

Ben Lomond (974m) and Ben More (1174m) sit on opposite sides of this area which stretches from Loch Lomond to the western end of Loch Earn. There are two distinct sections, to the north and south of Glen Voil, with the remaining peaks sitting to the south of Loch Katrine. Access to the majority of the hills in this area is commonly from Crianlarich, Aberfoyle or Callander.
