    I love see Scotland in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park

    Whatever Anna's on I'll have some please 🤣 Was sooo good to 'be' back in the Scottish mountains again.

    Abbie, I started watching you because of my desire to walk the West Highland Way. Your content is always informative and relaxing to watch. It's so lovely to see you so happy. Lots of love.

    The Highlands of Scotland is the best part on the surface of this planet. And hey, thanks for no music. Just ambient sound with commentary. I did my last Munro in 1996, and never ever wore head phones. Didn't need to. Thanks for this.

    Well done. Ledi via the circular route, back down via Stank Glen is definitely the best way to experience the hill. As an ex-police officer, the memorial at the top to the Sgt killed on nearby Ben More, while undertaking a mountain rescue, is always a poignant moment to pause and reflect on those who put their lives at risk to save others.

    Love you Abbie and Anna! After a hard day, a video of you in Scotland was just the ticket to cheer me up. Stay wild gorgeous girls! x

    I enjoyed Abbie’s rock climb and pose and Anna skipping down the trail. And I do agree you can’t beat a brew with a view.

    1:48 This is why I have a walkers sat nav with all the UK Ordnance Survey maps on it ... I also take a paper map and compass for emergencies in really remote areas

    I don’t know how this lovely video escaped me for a year? - I’ll do Ben Ledi next weekend but will do the large loop with Ben Vane to bag two Corbetts. - The start of your video is a great advert for the Harvey maps 😂

    Abbie is a scream, loved that fight she had with the map at the start. And I crack up every time she says Callander wrongly. But at least she pronounces 'loch' properly which is unusual for an English person. But why didn't she tell me they were here, I would have joined them.

  • @alistairthow1384
    @alistairthow1384 Před 3 lety

    Done Ben Ledi on the 23rd of March, lock down day.
    Can't believe were essentially back where we started.

    Great video Abbie, as always! Love the start thought it was hilarious when you ripped the map!
    Don’t worry about the pronunciation of Scottish place names, if not from here it’s difficult, even when you’re from here it can be difficult!! You’re doing a fab job, keep it up 👍😎

  • @rtk3543

    Tea for two and a brew with a view ☕ great stuff.

  • @DavidWilsonOutandAbout

    Hi Abbie, I am really enjoying watching your videos, great channel. Ben Ledi is one of my favourite places, I have spent many a happy hour just staring at the ben from my holiday home on the outskirts of Callander.
    AB, Dave.

  • @hikingbikingscotland1267

    Nice video Abbie & Anna. Ben Ledi is my local go-to mountain to stretch the legs when I haven't been out in a while. Hope you come back to Scotland soon for more adventures 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  • @meyerthemaker2
    @meyerthemaker2 Před 3 lety

    Cheers Abbie, I like the way you appreciate your surroundings, it inspires me to look around a bit more when I am out. Also you should move to Scotland that way you can explore the hills more often

    Great video Abbie- you inspire me to make better films

  • @allano937
    @allano937 Před 3 lety

    You were really having trouble with that map. I love Ben Ledi. The summit is quite dangerous in the snow as cornices form on both sides of the ridge and its a long drop if you fall through. Good to see Anna was really prepared for weather but must have been so hot on the decent to the glen. I have a photo of myself on that same rock you climbed. I wonder how many other have done the same. My works manager lives a short walk from Ben ledi and ran the Lade inn just along the road for some time. Hope you get the chance to visit it sometime when the virus decides to sod off.

  • @BrianthatiscalledBrian

    In the end, you passed a sign that said "cafe 500m". Tell me you stopped in. 🙂👍☕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  • @petergoddard1960
    @petergoddard1960 Před 3 lety +7

    Lovely video as ever, but please please sort out your pronunciation of Callander. It is pronounced like the thing you put your appointments in. There is no string emphasis on the LAN of Cal-LAN-der.

  • @philmcglass450
    @philmcglass450 Před 3 lety

    If fresh clean air does that for your friend find her some fresh spring water as she may just take flight if she takes a drink...

  • @normawilson307
    @normawilson307 Před 3 lety

    Hi Abbie, another great video. I know you wont take this the wrong way but it is pronounced Callan-der not cal-an-der 😊

  • @loopylou
    @loopylou Před 3 lety +1

    Did you get a new camera. Quality looks better?

  • @stevekelly7545
    @stevekelly7545 Před 3 lety

    Suspect the heather covers a good deal more than 5000 acres. But who’s counting!

  • @benvickery
    @benvickery Před 3 lety

    Why are you worrying about using a compass? Just take the map and treat it as a training exercise to navigate using the contours? I am joking of course. Thanks for producing yet another great video!
