There is a whole load of rock on the Loch Katrine flanks of Ben Venue [see map], of which only two boulders are described here.
Maybe one day I'll document the rest. The boulders sit together, to the left of the boggy path, past the sluice gates,
leading up from the end of the private road. You can park at the end of this road if you are very discrete; no objections
have been made by the Forestry Commision.
The rock is a kind of gabbro (I think), and suffers no drainage, though the ground beneath them may be soggy. The history of the boulders probably goes back a long way, being as they are next to a popular walking route, but the harder problems described here are the work of Richard Fielding, Rick Matthews, Pete Squires and myself. Enjoy! If you want more to go at look here |
