Walking (and kayaking ) Ben Lomond on a perfect winters day. You may not recognise this route up Ben Lomond ! A slightly different train for the walk....
We kayaked in over Loch Lomond and ascended pathless , rough, boggy terrain to reach Ben Lomonds Northern Shoulder. From here we headed into the quiet northern corrie and ascended high up onto The Ptarmigan Ridge. Never saw a soul until near the summit and eventually joined about thirty others on the summit. A different way up -BEN LOMOND but not as you know or recognise it! As always on Ben Lomond in these condition ice axe and crampons were essential. A fun adventure and a mirror lat Loch Lomond to kayak back across.
P.S. The thumbnail may not be entirely realistic !! ;)
