Not There Yet It's the hottest September day in 115 years and Ben Venue is still some way off. At least there is a bit of a breeze to ease our way up.

Head of Gleann Riabhach Glen Riabhach ends as a corrie surrounded by schist peaks of Ben Venue. Ben Venue is only 729m but a rugged beast, typical of the West of Scotland, although there is hardly any high ground to its east. A corrie like this would be ideal for stashing other people's cattle, or hiding your own, a use to which it was probably put.

Loch Katrine from Ben Venue Loch Katrine is Glasgow's main water supply, linked to the city by an aqueduct. It's a natural loch, but the level has been raised by a sluice at its outflow, below Ben Venue.

Misty lookout This is the summit of Stob an Lochain (as named on the 1:25000 Explorer map but not on the Landranger map) as viewed from nearby Creag a' Bhealaich, looking south south east. The curious veranda-ed building just below the summit is not marked on any map. I assume it to be a hunting lodge / lookout. There were certainly plenty of stags bellowing in the mist on this day.
