· Meeting point: Parking area over bridge from A84. Open in Google Maps.
· Meeting time: 10:00 am
· Distance: 11.5 miles
· Ascent: 1250 m
· Duration: 6-7 hours
· Terrain: "Through forestry, well maintained tracks and paths lead up Ben Ledi's hillside to a cross on the summit. Along the crests towards Ben Vane, the route becomes gradually less frequented, but paths can be traced to give delightful walking and running terrain through grass and over undulating crests." The path in the Stank Glen can get boggy.
