For A/B walkers this is a chance to climb the most southerly Munro with (hopefully) great views over Loch Lomond and the Arrochar Alps. It may also be an opportunity to roll your Easter eggs down a suitable slope! 

For C walkers there's a great walk along the shoreline and woods of Loch Lomond following the West Highland Way from Balmaha to Rowardennan.

The end point for both walks is at the Car Park at Rowardennan with the Rowardennan Hotel nearby for any refreshments (time allowing).
