Ben Bowie

Late run today, out and back along the 3LW to Ben Bowie, wet, windy and cold. Left about 3. Up the Stoneymollan on to the forest road winding round and up through the trees, path now complete means you can run it instead of ploughing through gloopy mud. Muddy upper trail then a bit of a swamp before the short climb to the top. Loch Lomond out of sight in the mist and rain, Helensburgh's lights just about shining through. Stopped for a few pictures, ran back the same way too dark to run back over Bromley and Carman muirs. 11 miles, 1900' in just over 2 hours. A few murky pictures here.
