Return to Ben Lomond
Ben Lomond - First Munro Bagged by Colin Hargreaves
Ok, it's hardly a massive thing, but its my first Munro and I did feel proud.

I've climbed Goatfell 4 times in the last year and I guess I used this time tweaking the clothing I had and getting a bit fitter (not getting any younger)

I even started a walking group "The Ayrshire Rockin' Ramblers" (ARR) made up from some friends and others on facebook. Our objective is to keep fit by walking and climbing and on the 30th June 2012 we did our first Munro.

I can only compare the walk to Goatfell and as yet I haven't decided what one is worse/easier but what I can compare is that when the weather deteriorated into strong wind, rain and low cloud on the descent I was shocked to see the amount of people who were wearing trainers, T shirts, jeans and carrying Tesco bags carrying goodness knows what.

Now I'm not an experienced walker at all, but I do have an oodle of common sense and I genuinely couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Anyway, lets not detract from a happy achievement for myself and my two friends who battled some strong winds on the way up, only to summit and find that there was no wind there at all. Very surreal but peaceful.

Look forward to doing it again with a better view and hopefully I'll try the Ptarmigan route next time.

Note our mascot which will hopefully be in all of our summits.............. our blue telephone handset!
