You Could try this link https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/ben-lomond.shtml, is it whEre we are going? probably noT, Sam does not want to do Ben Lomond foR the 5th time, unlikelY, is that a 'CLUE?' or maybe it isnt, have you been paying attention, or would you like a riddle... you know how this works, you have to EARN your leftfield clues from me, or am I just giving you false HOPE? You will just have to buy a ticket, and find out... all I can say, is it will be a very nice day out.
