perfect day for Ben Lomond and Ptarmigan ridge descent

[McGuinness]

Hi folks back out on the hills the day so decided to do Ben Lomond and it was a really nice sunny day

So at 09.45 i started my walk from the Rowardennan car park and proceded at a steady pace up through the oak woods then through the area of cleared forestry.

Once i crossed the small bridge and reached the open hill where some cattle where grazzing i stuck to the well made path and slogged up at a steady pace to the summit
was really nice at the top and not as busy as i thought it would be with great views to the Cobbler,Beinn Narnain and Beinn Ime

You certainly got a great day for it - looks much quieter up there than usual ! ....and IMO you did pick the better way to descend - cheers

Woohoo, there were views! Very nice. I like Ben Lomond and I shall return for the views and the Ptarmigan ridge.

I've been up the tourist route too many times and I keep threatening to go back and go up the Ptarmigan ridge. Looks like you had a great day for it.
