Ben Lomond Mon 9th April

Only a short run yesterday collecting in the markers from last weeks Stoneymollen race so Monday morning run planned for Ben Lomond. Left the Vale in sunshine but not much about at the Ben.

Deforrestation?? commenced on the lower slopes so different look and feel to the mountain. Steady plod up keeping to the path as the cloud was down too low for any new routes. Pretty windy and wet in the cloud towards the top and no chance to pick out the Ptarmigan route to go back down so about turn and down the same way. A few more pepole about in the bottom half, glad my climbing was over for the day. 82 mins to the top & 42 mins to the bottom. 2 cloudy pix in the galleria.
