Ben Lomond

Back to the usual start this year from the Rowardennan Hotel, along the road and the undulating path to the top. The hill covered by cloud as we started in the sun, cloud gradually clearing as we trudged up. A few minutes slower to the top than last year, turned for home and pushed hard down the grassy bank, back on the tourist path and trundled down the combination of stony paths, grassy bank, tussocks and rocks, finished about 1 hour 53.
