Ben Venue from Loch Achray. Walkhighlands route | hummusg | 01/03/2023 |
From Loch Achray pay parking. Followed waymarked paths. Cloud base at about 600m, lower on the way down, disappointing views. Damp, mild, not very windy. Surprisingly rocky from the 580m col to the summit. Would be a lovely hill in better conditions. Retraced steps most of the way but took a slightly shorter less undulating route via Loch Achray hotel grounds. With PJ, AJ, TH. | Owen B | 14/02/2023 |
