Love Her Wild - Ben Lomond Sunset Hike

Rowardennan Car Park, G63 0AR
Description
Wander Wild Scotland have joined forces with Love Her Wild, a not for profit women's adventure community to offer this exclusive Munro adventure.
Join us for an evening to climb Ben Lomond, Scotland's most southerly Munro, for sunset*.
We will meet at Rowardennan car park at 6.15 pm, ready to start walking at 6.30 pm. Our ascent will be via the Ptarmigan Ridge. It's a steep but rewarding climb as you climb high above Loch Lomond and look out over the southern Highlands and back towards the Lowlands. We'll stop for a well earned break and snacks at the summit, and watch as the sky is painted in the varying shades of sunset over the western mountains. Our return route will be via the main path back to the car park, navigating with our headtorches. If we're lucky, we might even be able to do some star gazing as we make our way back to the car park.
