Ben Lomond

So rare to get to the hills at the moment. Fortunate that when I do, I get weather like this!

Visibility was exceptional, with views to the Paps of Jura, Ben Nevis, Ben Lawers and Arran....even Ailsa Craig was clearly visible.

Because we went up quite late, we met the hoards descending, but had a reasonably quiet summit.

Descent was very much by torchlight. Was amazed to find so many people without them. Always love descending by night; all the lights along the Loch twinkling away, the moon rising...magical.
