Ben Vorlich, Ben Vane - Loch Lomond

This walk from Inveruglas by the side of Loch Lomond takes in the two munros of Ben Vorlich and Ben Vane which are located to the east. A good road which services the Loch Sloy dam gives excellent access.
A super day with the occasional shower passing through.

    As usual I very much enjoyed your video of Ben Vorlich and Vane,you certainly got a calm looking day Charlie, done these hills a while back and found Ben Vane steeper than I thought it would be,cheers again, Ian Mckay

    Ian, You are right, Ben Vane certainly gives a couple of false hope when nearing the top. It's a wee beauty and likely to be a different challenge during the winter. ATB, Charlie.

    Hi Phil, Your right, the hill goes on a bit especially when you get onto the summit ridge. In fact both these hills are very similar but a great pair. Cheers, Charlie.

    Hi Selwyn, There has certainly been quite a bit of work improving the path since our last visit which makes a big difference for these popular tops. Not a lot of distance just great for a bit of leg exercise. Cheers, Charlie.

    Hi peter, It was sort of day with sun & showers, ideal for rainbows. We've had a few soakings on these hills in the past so it was great to get off relatively dry. Cheers, Charlie.

    Great work Charlie. That new path at the bottom of Ben Vane looks excellent. I was cursing it as a boggy mess when I was there a few years back. Had an excellent day on Creise and its neighbour yesterday, forecast looking good next week so hoping to get up to the South Glen Shiel ridge.

    Hi Paul, The newish path certainly makes a difference to Ben Vane and it looks as if they aren't finished yet. This is normally the best time of year for getting settled weather so hopefully your trip to Glen Shiel will be a cracker as its a super walk. We have a walking week planned shortly up in the Ullapool area and are looking at getting onto a few tops in the area. Enjoy the SS ridge.... cheers, Charlie.
