Drymen to Balmaha After leaving Drymen the path enters Garadhban Forest before reaching the first major summit of the route, the Conic Hill , a site of special scientific interest lying on the Highland Boundary Fault. The main route goes over the summit, but an alternative "bad weather" route via Milton of Buchanan allows walkers to avoid the ascent to the summit. The village of Balmaha on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond is the next settlement reached.
