The Lesser Walked Path

Last week we took an afternoon off to explore a lesser known route to Ben Ledi. Ben Ledi is a very prominent mountain in Callander and we are used to seeing it everyday. As the seasons change we watch the view of this mountain change but always from the same vantage point - until now! We passed Samson's Stone and Dunmore Fort and continued along the Great Trossachs Path before turning off and walking a different route to approach Ben Ledi from the other side. We didn't have time to do the full route, we would have needed a few more hours (and probably more snacks!) None of the team had walked this route before so it was nice to explore together. Luckily we had some great weather and also enjoyed some great views over Loch Venachar on the way back down. One day we will make it to the top!
