Simon Lewis bagged Ben Vane during September, 2003 [from/via/route] Direct [with] Solo - MTB access

John Herbert hiked Ben Vane on October 9th, 2011 [from/via/route] Parked at Inveruglas & took the road the track towards Loch Sloy dam before taking the direct route from the small bridge over the boggy area & up the hillside path to the summit - minor scramble at the bad step just below the summit [with] HWD ramblers group [weather] Low cloud base - about 300m - so the view were very restricted once on the higher levels - wind at the summit was very strong - one couple already there when we arrived & were sitting huddled at the cairn - strong enough the we had to lean into & struggle the few metres on the flat summit to the cairn. - Was an interesting day - we probably took the wrong approach to the bad step on the upward climb & made it more difficult then it actually is, as on the downward climb we found an easier way to get down this awkward little piece.

Mark Davidson summited Ben Vane on June 25th, 2007 [with] Theresa came part way up but didn't like the wind so went back down [weather] Dry & sunny - though a little windy!
