Munro bagging with SGA#3: Ben Vane(with Future Friends Glasgow Socialising Club)

# Ben Vane, from Inveruglas

Ben Vane may be only just high enough to make Munro status, but it is a steep, rocky little mountain with real character, like a wee terrier that refuses to acknowledge its lack of stature amongst its higher neighbours. The ascent is short by hillwalking standards but there are several false tops and the climb is a sustained one.

## TERRAIN

Track for the approach, then the path up is steep, rocky hillside.

## Walk Statistics

Distance: 11km / 6.75 miles
Time:4.5 - 6.5 hours
Ascent:930m

## Starting Point/ Time

Where: Buchanan Bus Station
Time: 8:45 am (BUS to Inveruglas)

## What to Pack

Snacks, food, protein bars, plenty of water, walking boots, walking poles(if you prefer), other gear, and a big smile :)

## Walking Safety

Walking is a great way to keep fit and is generally very safe; however, it does contain an element of risk. Before going on any of these walks you need to be reasonably fit and be prepared to be responsible for your own safety. You should wear appropriate clothing such as proper walking shoes, and warm and wet weather clothing, and carry sufficient food and water.

The weather is always unpredictable, especially at this time of year. If the forecast is bad enough that it looks like we won't have a good time, then the event will be rescheduled, so please keep an eye out for any further communication.

Please note places are limited so if you can no longer, attend please let us know as soon as possible, and update your RSVP accordingly to give others the best chance at being able to attend.
