Ben Vorlich (Loch Lomond)


I did this back in 2003 with my good friend, Dr Alison Michie (here, shown on my left). It was a fantastic day in May and we took 6.5 hours to complete our route. You could see as far as Ailsa Craig, the visibility was that good. Upon our return to the car, we found that the owner of the Ardlui hotel wisnae best pleased we'd been parking in his parking lot and he showed us the other one across the A82 - lesson no.1. After we had vowed to drink his bar dry, we quickly learned lesson no. 2. A pint after a warm day on the hill infuses the brain with booze to the extent that one feels rather pissed. Hence it was a good hour before we got on the road again but not before some guy asked if we had found his GPS on the hill. What a foo!
