- Its 26th December and i decided to make the most of the one day of decent weather wee were going to get so i headed to Loch Lomond to take on Ben Vane this is one of the smallest Munros but don't let that fool you its a wee cracker with a steep accent but the views from the top are stunning.
Cracking day for it Ally with some grand views as the cloud moved around. Great way to burn off the Christmas dinner. All the best for 2024. Mick.
Hi Mick so glad i made the trip up on boxing day as it was the only decent day we have really had for a while. all the times i have been up there that's the first views i have had and they turned out to be brilliant and the walk help burn off the Christmas dinner 😅Atb Ally
That was a great morning sky you had . Looks stunning up top, the drone footage looked pretty amazing 😊
Hi Thanks for following along on my journey, its a cracking wee mountain and quite steep aswell but the views are brilliant when you get them as that's the first time i have any real views anytime i have been up there but was worth the wait. Thanks again Ally 👍
Hey Ally another cracking video those views are insane!!! Great hike 👍
Hi Pat thanks again had to go on boxing day as the weather was great for it got some fantastic views over loch Lomond really enjoyed it. ATB Ally 👍
Good call Ally.
Amazing bud so glad you got a chance to gly the drone, the views are something else.
The spikes are s great bit of kit for walking in icy conditions 👌
Thanks Tam was glad I didn't have a drink on Christmas day so I could go the next day, love this mountain so close to home and always a great walk and to finally get views for the first time in 4 attempts was worth the wait. Ally 👍
Great vlog Ally 👌 cracking mountain 🏔️ you certainly knocked it off with the weather ☀️ nice one atb Brian 👍
Thanks Brian was well worth staying sober on Christmas day to get out on boxing day , the weather and views was brilliant always a great day out on this mountain. ATB Ally 👍
Another big day in the hills Ally. Well done. 👏 👏👏Some fine drone footage and top tunes. Might have to Shazam that and pinch for some of my vids. 😜 cheers and all the best! 👌Andrew
Thanks Andrew that was a big day out and my last one with a normal bike 😆 landed lucky with the weather with the rain coming on heading of the last top but was another fantastic day out with the guys. Atb Ally 👍
Nice wee hill Ben Vane! For one of the lowest Munros it’s got big character!
I was watching those folk coming up behind you at the start 😂😂.
Cracking views you got Ally and a good wee leg stretch after Christmas dinner 🥘! Nice wee drone shots at the end 👍 Paul
Thanks Paul its a great wee mountain always a great walk in any conditions, it was good to walk of the Christmas dinner. i just noticed them folks as they were walking past me must of thought i was talking to myself 🤣😅. think that was the first time i had really got any views from ben vane so made it worth while. Ally 👍
Now you certainly get a thigh workout on this steep wee bugger,lol.😂😂Nice one Ally.Went back for a visit of this one during the summer.First time i done it i got lost in the cloud at the start before the obvious path was built which you commented on.😂😂😂
Looked like some verglas up top.That's when spikes come i to there own.Great vid.😎👍
Hi Andy this one certainly works the legs for a short one. Seen the weather was going to be good on boxing day so stayed of the drink on Christmas day so i could get out as the weather has been rotten. so glad i got the spikes makes its so much easier and feel more safer up there. Ally 👍
Brill mate. Not done Ben Vane yet but it’s high on our list. Seeing your video sold it even more. Cracking drone footage mate. Oh, we own the same spikes. I really rate them. All the best, Donny & Maxine 👍
Hi Donny thanks again, you will love this one its pretty much straight up and down a good one for the shorter days. the views are brilliant if you get the right day . All these years i have never had the spikes but they make some difference always had crampons but there not really for those conditions. Ally 👍
Brilliant video as usual Ally,the drone footage really shows the character of this wee hill
I'm the same as yourself I've been up there 4 or 5 times it's a cracking walk as are the other Arrochar Alps
I stay in Johnstone so I frequently visit the Arrochar Alps in the winter months because of the daylight hours.
I've bagged 90 Munros so far and I'm looking forward to spring and summer to travel further afield again and hopefully get a good few more done this year
Keep up the good work with the video's and hope to bump into you some day in the hill's 👍🏴⛰️
Hi Jerry thanks again for following along, ben vane is a great wee day out and a cracking mountain I'm a bit like yourself find my self staying more local in the winter. was glad i got the drone up as never really had much views anytime i have been up there so was nice to get some views for a change as there stunning. i will be the same heading further up north most of this year as most of the ones i still have to do are up there and still a good few in the cairngorms as well. would be great to bump in to you some time Jerry. ATB Ally 👍
Nice one Ally, some cracking views from there. That was my 2nd munro which was in winter as well, I’ll need to try and get back up it.
Yeh the spikes are great I’ve got a pair of them as well and always felt safe wearing them.

Hi Frank was so glad i stayed of the drink on Christmas day so i could get up there turned out a really good day and the views down loch Lomond were brilliant. ben vane is a cracking wee mountain always a good walk, the spike were superb there were so many people up there slipping about so was glad i had them . Ally 👍
Awesome video Ally mate. I've not done that one yet. Was leaving it for this year. I recently purchased spikes as my other ones were done in. I have got crampons. But always have trouble getting them on. Think i need to work it out before i head up the hills soon. Am wanting to do a munro in the snow again. I was lucky with the wee buchaille last year. Do you recommend any munros in the snow? Hoping to get out in the next couple of weeks.
Take care
Alan
Hi Alan thanks again , this is a great wee mountain there's one wee bit near the top in snow or ice its a wee bit dodge as wee bit to scramble up . i would recommend Meall Ghaordaidh in Glen Lyon if your wanting a straight up and down and its rounded no major drops so pretty safe in the snow i have some cracking sunrise photos on youtube in my shorts section. the crampons can be a pain especially when your hands are freezing🥶. Atb Ally 👍
