Embarking on a pre-dawn adventure, I escape the snow-laden streets of Falkirk, bound for the enchanting shores of Loch Achray in the Trossachs. Anticipation builds as I intend to solo climb a beloved hill in the Central belt of Scotland. Disappointment strikes; the Trossachs, is sadly not a winter wonderland, lacking the expected snow. Undeterred, I commence the ascent in the pre-sunrise darkness, guided only by my headtorch. To my surprise, a small companion joins me on this solitary climb, adding a touch of unexpected enchantment to the journey.
This hill resonates with poignant memories of my late father, the architect of our family's love for the mountains. As I reach the summit, attempting drone footage becomes a perilous endeavor. Amidst shifting cloud levels at 500m, the summit views emerge sporadically, unveiling the beauty and challenge of this revered peak. Join me on this early morning odyssey, where memories, unexpected companions, and drone mishaps weave together as I climb the iconic Ben A'an.
