Ben Lomond, 11.4.2011
Had planned to do this walk from last week and I was encouraged by the weekend weather, so I awoke VERY early this morning for a nice dark drive up to Rowardennan
I got there just before 6am and watched a very eerie and misty daylight begin on Loch Lomond. This was cool. Very peaceful and the water was so still. Not a soul about.
I was now feeling a bit concerned about the weather. I thought not again after my experience at Goat Fell 2 weeks ago. I thought it would clear up, after a fantastic weekend (which I had worked…) lol.
Nope I was wrong. Started my ascent and got about half way up and the rain came on. Although it was not windy the walk to the top was not very comfortable. As I type this, I am looking out the window to sunshine and a blue sky. So it appears the big man up stairs has got me twice with the weather..- third time lucky?
So photos on the day are poor. And also I forgot to charge the camera so note to self : check weather and charge camera before planning, but anyone that knows me that’s not my style… lol…
This was my route:
So a good day but again, weather seems to be a curse. But I wont be beat. Will be back out next week..
