My friend in the picture was relocating
to Suffolk. He wanted a good hill walk before he left and
we chose Ben Vorlich and Stuc a Chroin(in the background)
as a suitable venture. The weather was good, the snow
hard and the visibility exceptional. He couldn't have had
a better send off and a copy of this picture hung framed
in his office in Bury St Edmunds. Sadly he died of Cancer
in 2006. Distance covered: 7

Ben Vorlich near Stirling, looking to Stuc a' Chroin. These hills are prominent on the horizon looking North from the A9 while passing Stirling. The pairing can be done from Lochearnhead or Callendar. The former is more popular, the Callendar route is a real expedition. |
