Ben A'an
-
We visited this iconic small peak, within Loch Lomond National Park, to learn about and see some of the recent pathway improvement works carried out. It was somewhere I had climbed before but not in a work capacity and also not on the new path route. This provided a fresh insight into the Ben and the challenges it faces.
We reached the summit and posed for team photos, as well as discussing our work with a few interested passers by.
We are expected to return to Ben A'an, in a work capacity, later in our course to work on a section of the pathway which has 'failed', helping clear brash to create an alternative route.
I am looking forward to that challenge, when it comes, and was impressed by the sheer scope of ambition in the new path route, and how much it helps - for the most part - more people be able to access, enjoy and climb it.
