Description

Dry day with a very cold wind (exactly what was forecasted.
Had planned a couple of options so I could see how I felt when I got there.
Decided to ascend straight up Ben More so took the opportunity to practice steep ground pacing and timing.
Had someone ask if they could join me at the summit so we walked Stob Binneine together and I was able to pass on some knowledge about navigation and vegetation

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.
