Ben Bowie and Killoeter

Same route as last week except reversed the outer loop, did Ben Bowie first then Killoeter. Jacket on for a change to cope with the misty drizzle at the start, drizzle didn't last long but not too many views, the islands in Loch Lomond vague grey outlines on a grey surface.


Very few people out on the route today, saw 2 hill walkers at the fort and three mountain bikers as I crossed the Three Lochs Way. Plenty of wild flowers made up for the lack of views.





Found a better route through the trees dropping off Killoeter, avoiding all of the ferns. Access points to the forest seem to be marked with white tape leading you to branch free paths. Finished inside three hours, which seems to be the usual for this run.
