Ben Venue

Some very old pics here (Pentax MX with 35mm film)
We first attempted Ben Venue in mid February 1986 but shortly after leaving the trees we got stuck in white out conditions and decided to turn back. It seemed a far better idea than to go on further and get into difficulty.
Our second attempt was two weeks later on Sunday 2 March 1986. The weather was the complete opposite to the attempt two weeks before.
The early morning sun was rising as we approached our start point with ice on the loch.
Some snow on the route up but not too much.
Nice views down over Loch Achray and Loch Venachar.
Other views from the top.
