walked Ben Lomond a fortnight ago and it was horrible . Its a fairly easy walk under normal circumstances but it was horrendous two sundays ago.
It was quite nice at the loch side, no wind, quite mild. Then once we got up to cloud level the wind was incredible. And walking straight into it was the hardest thing Ive ever done I think..
The last couple of hundred metres to the summit is along that ridge thing and we had to crawl it because we couldn`t stand up in the wind . I had a woolly hat on and it fucking blew away in the gale. We probably should have turned and gone back actually.
Just shows you the difference the weather makes to a walk. I have walked Ben Lomond a couple of times before and in decent weather it is actually an easy enough walk.
Wish I had been out walking today though. It looked like it would have been a good day for it.
