My walking friends and I tried Ben Venue on a beautiful autumnal day but unhappily we missed the turn off to ascend to Ben Venue. We meandered on and still had an enjoyable day ending up in th Byre Inn for an enjoyable pint or three! The route is well marked until you reach just before the second bridge when as we discovered on the way back the way mark for the ascent is only a small clump of stones easily missed.
We shall return.
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.

We did the exact same thing yesterday! Only noticed when we realised we were walking AWAY from Ben Venue. Hilarious. To be fair though it is a really small path, definitely easy to miss!
Glad to know we are not alone in this
