Description

Up Ptarmigan, down normal. Quite frosty with some ice on shaded part near top of Prarmigan ridge. Beautiful day & very busy. Good to see that a lot of people made an early start & were well equipped, but there were also a lot of pairs of trainers and a lot of people on the lower slopes at 12.30. I wonder how many carried a torch. I was up & down in 3.5hrs & then another 2hrs along the West Highland Way to Millarochy where Margaret was kayaking. My 1500th Munro.

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.
