The most southerly of the Munros, Ben Lomond is many people’s first. Some might be put off for life, but many are inevitably hooked, sucked into the pursuit for the full 282.

From Rowardennan it’s an easy climb on a good path – and the summit views over Loch Lomond’s isle-dotted expanse are scenically stupendous.

Fantastic views, as you'd expect, form the top of possibly the most popular Munro (it's the closest one to Glasgow, after all) - over 30,000 people a year climb it either on foot or by bike.

An amazing mountain we have already climbed my first ever mountain to climb and experience the amazing taste of hiking. Can’t wait to get back to it and hike before sunrise 😍
