Missed Durisdeer on Saturday due to car problems, had sent it to convalesce in a garage to no avail. So with Arrochar Alps looming in a couple of weeks went for an easy option on Sunday, Ben Lomond.
Ascent via tourist path, descent via Ptarmigan. First time I had run down the Pt. route for 30 or so years (ouch). Nice and steady on the way up, sunny spells with a cool breeze, just about perfect for running. Passed the remains of a small fire near the top, still warm from the previous night.
After the initial steep drop off the back of Ben L a steady undualting run back to the car park. Good running apart from the narrow path on the lower slopes which meant stop start to pass a few hill walkers. Finished in just under 2 hours 15 then lunch & a Blanc in the Rowardennan Hotel before the drive home.
