  • Hill of God
    One of the translations for the wonderful Scottish Mountain Ben Ledi. Although more likely to mean "Hill of the Slope" I prefer this The Hill of God. Translations apart - a fine winter day saw me head to Ben Ledi in the Trossachs for a fine day in Gods own country ;)

    Another great video Murray,,your enthusiasm always comes through. I was recently up in Glencoe then Torridon for 12/13 days and was with Tom Heaton for some of it and we were chatting about your great sunny and windless day up opposite the Buckle and Three Sisters in Glencoe with him.....a brilliant day but I was there that Friday in Glencoe in appalling weather (driving rain/sleet/high winds etc) when two climbers from Nottingham got stuck overnight and alas one died of hyperthermia after his rescue on the saturday (MR doing an amazing job as always with 6 teams involved as well as helicopters/volunteers)..... the beauty of the mountains is amazing but they have some big teeth... all your viewers can see the attention to pay to suitable kit as the weather changes in minutes and so although great to watch I think your videos are also really informative for anyone thinking of heading up these hills (it's not the South Downs !!)...

      Thanks John - last few times I had been up Ledi it was round by Stank Glen which is nice but I do prefer the "tourist route" as the views seem better :)

    Hmmm a good few years ago we got two about 200m from the summit and met a guy coming down as we had no crampons with us he advised us to turn back as it was quiet icy. May ha e to give it another go

      Done Ledi from the pathless side gives you abit more exercise, some rough ground at the start and a steep finish if I remember right.
