This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

Park at the car park next to the pier at the bottom of Ben Lomond, ascent Ben Lomond and then down the West face for a short while. Come off the path and head North along the ridge which connects Ben Lomond to Cruinn a' Beinn, straight ascent of Cruinn a' Beinn. After summiting return to where you left the path on your descent of Ben Lomond and continue the over Ptarmigan & Tom Fithich, back to the start. This is a lovely route, taking a Graham and a Munro in one trip.

Very nice walk. starting from the Inversnaid Hotel, east side Loch Lomond. Follow the west highland way for 2 1/2km to a cottage at Cailness. A hill track begins at the rear of this cottage, follow this uphill until it opens to open hillside (350m). Then strike southwest to quickly pick up a deer fence, this leads to the summit. Fabulous views to Ben Lomond, the Arrochar Alps and the Crianlarich Hill. Can be combined with Ben Lomond.
