Description

With M, Ron & Janey to Ptarmigan ridge of Ben Lomond. Best conditions all winter with a couple of sharp snow showers. Snow from about 700m, where R&J turned back for lack of equipment. Cramponed up final ridge taking steeper variations. Back same way to avoid crowds fleeing virus.

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.
