- A loop walk onto Ben Lomond via the Ptarmigan path. It was a busy day at the Rowardennan car park but the promise of clearing skies didn't materialise. Nevertheless, the light winds and warm temperatures made for an enjoyable loop.
Hello Charlie… OMGosh what a view from the top. I am amazed at how many people were on the top. Some serious numbers in hiking. Really nice video, another beautiful video filled with stunning scenery and what a hike that was. I was impressed that all the cakes were just sitting there…. Pay, based on honesty. Loved that. Nice to see the contrast from clear to fog, to snow . The path down looked very steep. Take care my friend. I was thinking maybe the other hikers might be waiting for the sun to come out. Thankyou very much for sharing. 👌😇💕🇨🇦 LilliStJohn
Hiking Ben Lomond is always a joy. I didn‘t know the Ptarmigan Path until now. The next time I’ll take that route too. Some years ago we hiked Ben Lomond on the Tourist Path. Cracking views on your return! Take care … Wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang, Hope you and yours are well... You should certainly try the Ptarmigan path I'm sure you'll enjoy the extensive views across the loch to the Arrochar Alps all the way up.
Cheers, Charlie.
Another great video Charlie. Your photography and cinematography are stunning.
Hi Heather, Glad you enjoyed our latest trip but just a pity the top wasn't clear as we've experienced on previous visits. Many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers, Charlie.
Nice one Charlie. 👍 Interesting to see the different conditions through the years. Me and my mate had to turn back about 50m from the summit in March 2020. (The day before lockdown) The North West face was a sheet of ice. Sometimes its braver to say no. All the best 👍
Hi Bob, Your spot on in not taking chances during winter conditions, its just not worth it. The mountain will always be there. Many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers, Charlie.
Nice wee vid Charlie, always good to get out give the legs a workout, that’s defo the best way up. Look forward to your next hike.

Hi Frank, Your certainly right clockwise loop is best. Ben Lomond is always an enjoyable outing but we are normally hitting the top for the sun coming up which help keep the crowds down. Cheers, Charlie.
Cracking little video gents. Myself and my Dad were up in the Highlands the other week. The high light for us was getting to the top of Tom a Choinich and Toll Creagach, first time in Glen Affric, what a stunning part of the country!
Hi Dave, Yes, Glen Affric is a special area, probably as the tops are a wee bit harder to get onto. We're looking forward to getting back in there later this year. Cheers, Charlie.
Loved the montage showing the different conditions you’ve climbed it in
Hi Guy's, It's always handy when you can call on some archive stuff when things don't go to plan. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 and beautiful archive footage at that!
Great bit of walking sir. Never done the Ptarmigan way up. This was my first ever munro and great memories feeling like I had conquered the world lol. Pity the views weren't as good but it's still a great hike. Good use of using previous images of it. Stay safe and happy hiking. 👍😊👍🥾🥾⛰️🏴⛰️
Hello, Many thanks for taking the time to view our latest outing. Ben Lomond never normally fails to deliver stunning views but you can't win them all. Cheers, Charlie.
Nice one Charlie. I must return there someday and do the Ptarmigan ridge.
Hi Kev, The ridge is certainly worth a look. Might be quite interesting and a bit different during winter. Cheers, Charlie.
Wow Charlie that was quick going round! Looked busy at the top. I am up in Assynt this week and the weather has been pretty poor! 😣 still enjoying getting out and about...cheers. Paul
Hi Paul, I don't like our movie outings hanging around.... lol. Your in a terrific area just hope to get a few weather windows to get onto the tops. I'll look forward to the movies. Cheers, Charlie.
Hi Charlie, ur a fit man, I attempted the Beinn A Ghlo ridge today I managed Carn Liath and halfway up Braigh Coire Chruinn Bhalgain before retreating due to lack of water and other issues,I did Carn a' Chlamain yesterday and yes Glen Tilt is Beautiful! The tilt is a fantastic river! Will try Beinn A Ghlo in the future perhaps without the heat and blisters,! Cheers Charlie. Mark Shaw
These guys are machines!
Hi Mark, Well done, you've completed quite a bit of walking in Glen Tilt. At least you had good sense to change plans on Beinn a Ghlo and leave it for another day... it's not going anywhere. Take care, Charlie.
@@onion_wind The machines need a wee bit more oil & grease to get up to speed than a few years ago..... lol. Cheers Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 Thanks Charlie, I was silly to do a 19 mile walk the day before the attempt on Beinn a ghlo, my feet were battered however I give it ago and at least got Carn Liath plus a bit more! You said exactly what I tell me friend the mountains are always there for another day! A kind chap give me a lift back to campsite as I was hobbling! Look forward to your future videos! Kind regards mark shaw.
Fantastic Charlie, brought back so many memories while on the WHW taking time out to do the Ben 😁
Thank you ATB
👍🏔
Hi Dave, Many thanks for taking the time to view or trip and glad it brought back happy memories.... you never really forget walking the Scottish hills :). Cheers, Charlie.
Good stuff Charlie. Not quite as good weather as you had in 2013&17 but looked decent. Gordon
Hi Gordon, Ben Lomond certainly can't be faulted for the surrounding views as they are stunning. Unfortunately, not yesterday but it was and enjoyable loop walk. Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 absolutely Charlie. That view down Loch Lomond is brilliant. Your previous videos caught the view north too.
Nice one Charlie, shame the clag hung around but great to see previous trips showing those brilliant views and less folk lol Take care. Mick.
Hi Mick, We were due a day of clag but no wind and high temperatures made for an enjoyable day. Many thanks for looking. Cheers, Charlie.
1:18 Yum! 👍
Hi Andy, Certainly should have that selection at the start of other munros... The pack would suddenly become quite cake heavy.... lol. Cheers, Charlie.
The ptarmigan is certainly the route to do.
Been lucky in having views every time.
Hi Alistair, We've always been fortunate with previous visit so we were due a claggy day. I agree, going up the ptarmigan certainly gives a bit of contrast and improves the walk. Cheers, Charlie.
