Ben Vorlich

The first weekend in March I went to Arrochar, a small city next to Loch Long, wich is connected to the Atlantic Ocean. From there we walked a long way up to Ben Vorlich. Unfortunately we did not know how we can get up to Ben Vorlich on the best route. We followed a small street some meters up the hills before we went further up without a path. This was quite exhausting and also time consuming. Thus we arrived on top of Ben Vorlich quite late so that we did not come back to the train station on time. We missed the last train by almost 2 hours.

We were quite lucky to find a small restaurant next to the train station. The people there helped us to find a bed and brackfast. One of the guests showed us the way to our accommodation and he also brought us to Glasgow Airport on the next morning. Thanks to all the people who helped us this weekend!

 

Alltogether the trip was really nice and I think I will remember it for years!

 

Because of the heavy fog and clouds there are just 2 I want to show here:

This time the track is not the best. It was the first time I was using my new Garmin GPSMap 62s. Unfortunately I did not get the batteries on time so that I had to use some old ones that were empty after a short time. For the rest of the track I used my phone again but it’s battery was not completely charged and it also got empty quite early. Thus the track ends at the point where we arrived on Loch Sloy. The further route was along the Loch in southern direction and then back the way we came to the starting point.
