Mountain Description
|
|
|
Benvane and Ben Ledi are the two highest tops on a mountain that runs SE to NW on the western shore of Loch Lubnaig. These two hills can therefore be climbed in a single traverse if transport can be arranged. Ben Ledi has crags on its E slopes and a few near the summit but otherwise this is a grassy hill which is forested on its E and W slopes. The shortest and most frequently used route is from the head of the Pass of Leny to the E, but an ascent is also possible from Brig O' Turk to the S via Gleann Casaig
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Ben Ledi include
|
| Crags on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags near summit. |
|
|
| |
|
General Considerations
|
| Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent. |
|
| Wind usually increases with altitude. |
|
| Visibility can change markedly with cloud level. |
|
| River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day. |

Never tire of doing this hill. Views are superb if you get a good day.
My partner Jim did this while on a course of chemo. after major operation so it was a great achievement for him. Superb.

Paula and I had a pretty wet ascent, but it was drier at the top. Saw a Brocken Spectre from the summit (and got the camera out in time). Totally clear on our descent. A fairly straightforward hill, although the path was a little boggy in places.

Appropriately named 'God's Hill', this beautiful mountain was climbed via Stank Glen and a brisk steep ascent to its Northern ridge near Lochan nan Corp. The view from the summit is
360 degree 'WOW'.
