If the Loch ever drains then depending where you are at the time, you may have a steep climb out. An interesting fly through of the drained loch. The Highland Boundary fault is very clear and shows how it runs through some islands and up through Conic Hill.
Enjoy!

Re: BGS Survey of Loch Lomond
The loch didn't drain, but went very low in 1967. I jumped on my trusty matchless and drove up to Balmaha only to find 'redwing' high and dry with no chance of a sail that day. The american tourists were asking all sorts of stupid questions about the tide. Back on the bike and home again - waste of petrol at 4/6d a gallon.

Re: BGS Survey of Loch Lomond
Liked the upper reaches where it had a canyon feel. Also, having only driven past it on 'that' road, I did not realise there were so many islands.

Enjoyed that but was rather hoping to see my watch that I lost overboard off Luss in about 1997!

Probably quite a few watches, other things and stuff best left forgotten at the bottom of Loch Lomond.
