Wed 16th July, Ben Vorlich

Ben Vorlich lies on the side of Loch Lomond and is a munro that is often driven past by walkers heading further north. Despite it proximity to Glasgow it is a quiet but interesting mountain without the usual broad paths that scar many of the munro's.

Conditions were very mixed today with a few heavy showers and very humid atmosphere. Out of the cloud visibility was good and conditions made for some very atmospheric views.


My route up was from Ardlui railway station climbing over the Little Hills a complex ridge that leads directly to the summit of Ben Vorlich. On reaching the summit I followed the ridge to the north top and then followed this down into Coire Creagach and an easy walk back to the cars.
