Decided to walk up Ben Venue today as it was frosty, with the idea of minimising the boggy paths that this mountain route is renowned for. However, we were delighted to find that there has been a new footpath built most of the way making it much more pleasurable experience. Thank you footpath conservation volunteers!
Superb views from the top.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
