Hi - new member here looking for a bit of advice!
Did a bit of hillwalking last year, including a couple of munros: Ben Vorlich (Loch Lomond) in September, and Ben More (and Stobbinian) late October.
I don't have crampons or ice axe (I'm not interested in that type of climbing - yet, at least), but have good boots, warm, waterproof clothes,navigation equipment etc. Ben More had a dusting of snow, but was fine.
I stay in Edinburgh and don't drive, so am reliant on public transport.
Got the itch to go into the mountains again soon. I've got Friday off, so might make a wee trip then.
What I was wondering was if anyone had any recommendations about mountains, (ideally munros, but not necessarily, as long as good climbs with good views), easy to reach, wouldn't take too long (given the lack of daylight hours), and a lack of snow on top! I was thinking Ben Vane at Loch Lomond ...
Cheers in advance!
