Ben Bowie

Out and back to Ben Bowie again, slightly shorter missing out the other loops to the Hel n back route and Kiloeter I've tried the last few weeks. Easiest ascent route up behind the Carman reservoir, a mixture of flat and up. The three trees at different stages of  leafing out.

Up the track beside the quarry and along to the trig point spotted a wee lizard like thing, too quick for my camera. Views to the Ben a bit hazy today.

A few more people up here than usual but all keeping out of each others way. Through the gate at the top of the Stoney using a handful of grass to minimise contact. 

Ran along the 3LW and JMT turning up to Ben Bowie just after the JMT turns east.

Drop off the back of Ben Bowie through some trees on a less used path that comes out on the JMT, Back up to the 3LW and follow it to the top of the Stoney, Follow the path along to the Fort, radiomast and home.
