Stoneymollen Sun 30th Nov

Lost weekend, got up Sunday lunchtime, too late for Luss and had to make do with a short run. Cold and damp with the mist down & frost everywhere, put on thermals, hat & gloves. Started up Overton road then along through the fields past the Carman to pick up the path which takes you onto Carman Muir behind the reservoir. Ran round to the road missing the usual path through the ferns in the mist and daze.

Ran up through the quarry with shafts of sunlight beginning to appear. Sky cleared at the top of Overtoun Muir revealing cloud inversion in the valley below.



Ran down Bromley Muir to the top of the Stoneymollen & met a couple who are involved with a group trying to creating a network of paths all the way to Inveruglas, they were kind enough to take my picture with the snowy Ben in the background.



After a few minutes gazing at the snowscape around Loch Lomond set off down the Stoneymollen and into the cold and mist. A leisurely 1 1/2 hours with a sunny surprise at the top. A few more pictures in the Galleria.
