First challenge followed by fantastic views into the Highlands and Loch Lomond.

First challenge is the ascent to Conic Hill. Fantastic and breathtaking views over the Highlands and Loch Lomond.

On the final ascent, leave your rucksacks just below the hill if possible. Steep and slippery...

Be careful not to twist your ankle if you've already been hiking for 20-25km; especially on the descent to Balmaha, it's sometimes difficult to find a foothold due to the large rocks. The view from the top of the mountain is, of course, incredibly beautiful 😍
