It's likely to proceed according the path and descend the additional side towards the village of Balmaha.

Not very eligible if you are climbing from the Drymen side [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is the uncomplicated response. This route is a good starting point for hill-walking apprentices because the climb to the summit is fairly gentle.

If you choose to climb from Balmaha then the climb is steeper and rockier but for those who do have causativeable level of fitness it is well worth the effort.
The Return Route From Conic Hill to Drymen or Balmaha
Return through the same route and you'll have spent around 2.5 - 4 hours (dependant upon completely above your individual speed) covering about seven miles of walking. Alternatively, take the rockier and considerably more challenging southern egress and arrive in the village of Balmaha, with its picturesque huts gathered around the gulf. This route, whatever, has the one downside of a long road walk back to your beginning point at Drymen which can easily join an surplus 2 hours onto your junket, so if you do descend by this route, forward blueprinting is recommended [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], both by dropping a car off in Balmaha before you begin, or by catching a destroy when you reach Balmaha and replenishing your energy in the Oak Tree Inn with its fabulous home made beefburgers before you make the long trek back.
The most awarding route as yet leaves from Drymen because the climb to the top is gradual and gives walkers abundance of period to appreciate the view across the Loch towards Luss, Balloch and the Islands. Park your motorcar in the dedicated automobile park just north of the village and begin your trek through the Garadhban (affirmed 'Garavan') Forest. The pathway is a broad forestry road which takes you through the densely wooded space and brings you out onto moorland on the eastern side of the hill. The route continues until you approach a fenceline with a dedicated walkers gate. Beyond the gate and the path transforms into a grassy trace which undulates across the rugged terrain until it drips back down to a small wooden bridge over a flame (stream).
