A couple of weeks ago my good friend Steven McGee Callender planned a hiking trip in the Arrochar Alps. He managed to get me, Amy Thompson and Justin Purefoy to join him. We selected Ben Vorlich as an achievable goal for an inexperienced crew. We parked up on the North West edge of Loch Lomond and set off on the route described here.

Despite mixed opinions about whether we’d reach the top by the people we met along the way, we all made it. We enjoyed some spectacular views and deep snow.
