Loch Lomond - ideas please...

[Beefmeister]

Okay, following on from an older thread of mine...

Heading up to Loch Lomond for a few days in September, and need some suggestions for good stuff to do.

Staying in Arrochar, and will be there for 4 full days.

Would like places to eat, stuff to do etc.

Go on, away you go PH Hamster people.....

Have a hire car, so a bit of driving isn't out of the question.

Thanks!

Walk up Ben Lomond. Enjoy the splendid view from the top*

• providing Scotch mist isn't in attendance.....

There's not a lot to do in Arrochar.

However a 15 min drive will take you to Inverary where you could eat at the Loch Fyne Oyster bar (actually just before Inverary). If you fancy pub grub the George in Inverary main street is very good.

Other things:
Half day trip to Luss for a coffee etc
Shopping trip in Glasgow (about 1hr drive away)
If you're a hillwalker you could climb the Cobbler at Arrochar.

You could take the Mrs on a Loch Lomond Seaplanes trip - think they operate out of Luss.

Edited for afterthought

Roamin in the gloamin?
Isn't that what you do when Loch Lomond way?

Sorry - I'll get my coat...

The Oban Whisky distillery is very near there, worth a look probably.

Brilliant - thanks!

I did think about Ben Lomond, but put it to the O/H and it was vitoed, as she is after relaxing, not "walking up some bloody big hill just to sit on my arse for 10mins then walk down again"

Take your golf clubs and try and find a member of Loch Lomond - the course is brilliant.

Guy i went with had a locker, and the name on the one next to it... Bill Clinton.

You're welcome.

I actually live about 20 minutes away from the area, so if you need any more advice just let me know. Oh, and bring some waterproofs!

Well Arrochar is a bit crusty! Take a drive up over the 'rest and be thankful' to Inverary and have a pub lunch in The George. Drive on further down to The Kintyre Peninsula Also visit The Drovers Inn in the shores of Loch Lomond.

Climb Ben Lomond?
Take a trip up to Faslane and spot a Nuclear Sub.
Get eaten alive by midges (not optional!)

Try the Kilberry Inn, Kilberry for food (www.kilberryinn.com), I've not been but I've heard very good things about it, it's on the road between Tarbet and Lochgilphead - a lovely scenic drive.
