After climbing Ben Vane in the morning and having plenty of time I thought why rush to the Callander campsite to pich the tent, there was plenty more in the tank and although the sun was shining I knew the first part would be sheltered somewhat going through the trees so why not give it ago, too nice a day not to really. Drove around to the Bridge over the river Ample where there is a parking bay, marked Ardchullarie More on the OS MAP.

Just after crossing a burn turn up right and walk along the burn coming off the hill. Path is clear and pretty dry

A nice easy hill for an evening stroll, with good views, pity you had none, but the next day at Ben Ledi the cloud came in and I missed the summit views, never mind, next time. Just good getting some hill time in :D

Some week you had Rod......visiting a lot of my choices for winter walking. Agree with you that this would make a nice evening stroll.
