One of the quaintly named "Arrochar Alps", Ben Vane only just makes Munro status but has great character - 915m with very steep and rocky slopes on all sides.
There is quite a long steady walk in from Inveruglas Visitor Centre to the base of the hill which is at 200m altitude.
This is my favourite Munro and, although quite small, it is a challenging and rewarding climb.
There are a few steep sections and some little bits of scrambling.
Local Grade A
The ascent of Ben Vane will be done at a slow pace with as many short breaks as may be required by the group members.
The plan is that this walk is for those who may not be as fast and as fit as they used to be, and perhaps feel that their days of climbing Munros is in the past. Now is your chance to climb one.
There is a charge for the car park at Inveruglas.
