Description

Short afternoon out to the summit of Ben Venue from Ledard Farm - checking out the current condition of the route as a possible walk for a youth group at Easter. Good snow cover from about 500m, although softening all the way to the summit. Overnight frost will have firmed up conditions later in the week.

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.
