After a lovely day with Janet and her friends climbing Ben Lomond I decided to stay down in the van staying in one of the parking places on the Lochside under the camping management scheme. The forecast was to be ok but in fact it was pouring down all day, so I hung about as the next day was to be lovely – which it was. I set off on a bike and hike up Ben Vane. I steep 4km up a tarmacked road which made a wonderful decent but was hard going up. then a steep walk up to the summit. which i had to myself – excellent. I thought about another day away but I was ready for my sofa and bed!!
