CYCLING IN THE TROSSACHS -aberfoyle, loch katrine, loch ard forest

i'm not going to sell it if describe it with words, but i bet, that after seeing the photos you'll just want to grab your bike and cycle this route.

we started it in aberfoyle, cycled over dukes pass and down to loch katrine. then along loch katrine and back to aberfoyle.

53km / 35miles, some ups and downs

mostly on traffic free or near traffic free roads

BEN A'AN

mily niedzielny wypad na ben a'an, ktory nawet nie jest zaliczany jako gora sam w sobie, jest tylko jednym z nizszych szczytow meall gainmheich (564mnpm). niemniej spacer choc krotki to bardzo przyjemny - ben a'an jest doskonalym punktem widokowym na loch katrine, loch achray, ben venue, ben ledi, arrochar alps... ja polaczylam wejscie na ben a'an z totalnie turystyczna wycieczka nad loch katrine - i byl to wspanialy dzien :)) zdecydowanie do powtorzenia!

ben a'an - 454mnpm

nice sunday trip to ben a'an, which isn't even a proper mountain itself (is just one of lower peaks of meall gainmheich). anyway, it is a great viewpoint to loch katrine, loch achray, ben venue, ben ledi, arrochar alps... i joined walking ben a'an with visiting loch katrine and it was a great day out. definitely will do that again ;)
