Ben Vane Looming



Definitely too far round!
It was pretty much scrambling the whole way up, not clever! Just kept heading up in the hope I'd find a cairn!





After a lot of scrambling I reach a plateau



When I did get to the top, it was all of a sudden, and having ready about many false summits I thought at first that I wasn't at the top of Ben Vane (yet again, map would have been useful!).

Selfie!

The summit
It wasn't until the walk down when I found the path that I realised if I'd gone up that way there would have been lots of false summits. I got on google maps back down at the road then I knew it was Ben Vane!



That would be one of the false summits!




So bit of an anti climax, think I was expecting something much scarier after the Cuillins! Managed to get a bit burnt as it was so hot and sunny, my sunblock couldn't beat the sweat. I drunk 5 litres of water in 5 hours thanks to the lovely July heat wave! Planning on doing Ben Lomond in a couple of weeks which by all accounts is even easier!
