Hiking Scotland's BEST small hill (amazing views)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2021
- In my opinion, Conic Hill in Balmaha is one of Scotland's BEST small hills (if not the best) with amazing views over Loch Lomond. We also had a cracking day for it, although clearly we aren't used to warm weather like this haha. It was probably in the high 20s but with no breeze and high humidity. If you enjoy hiking, Scottish banter and want to get outdoors in Scotland more - I would recommend this walk!

Drink whenever one of us mentions how warm it is 🥴
(also please bear in mind we were joking about it a LOT but I think it comes across as quite serious at times hahah) however I will be phoning the police on any weather competitors in the comments
I'm only drinking water when one of you mentions how warm it is. One has to drink water in the heat and alcohol makes the heat worse. I don't think you lot in Scotland quite know how to handle the warmer weather!
@@amberhiggins6327 We get it every year :) but not for long. And our houses are built to keep the heat in/we don't have a/c so it's normally hard to be inside in hot weather here. All we can do is drink plenty of water and try and stay as cool as we can, but the UK isn't built for it and we aren't used to it.
I'm on the floor already so many shots. 😝😫😖
@@amberhiggins6327 aye we do. Cold can of Tennant's and a chilled bottle of bucky 😂
Went up on Friday after seeing your Instagram story, so glad I saw the post before my trip, walk then spent the day at luss beach 👌
I went to up in the Uwharrie mountains yesterday. It was significantly cooler at the top of the mountain. After sunset, it was almost comfortable.
Deffinitly my favourite hill, such a stand out landmark from all around!
Man, I do miss Scotland so much! I hope I can visit this beautiful country soon again!
Amazing genuine laughter. Luvvit.
Beautiful! Thanks for making the trip and sharing!☺️
Here in the Yukon Territory, anything in the 20's is warm, and 30 is very hot! Mid-high teens is comfortable. In summer - in winter, anything above -25 is fine (especially after a week near -50). It seems that temperature is relative!
really like the country side hikes. beautiful views, i am in texas and it's full blast summer here, that is more than a bit warm.
It's only 29 in Toronto today... A nice break from the heat. Lol. Cheers. Stay cool , have a Gin for me. 🇨🇦👍
It looks so majestic 😍
Oof, bet Scotland is pretty humid. That always makes it worse.
Iove that I get a chance to visit the country side via this channel!
Thanks for braving the heat and showing another great place to hike in Scotland.
Thanks for the video. Really beautiful. (Scenery too.)
Those views...🔥🔥🔥
I loved conic hill! went there in 2019, it was freezing! (december), but mate the views, and then we stopped in a wee inn at the base which had all sorts of old items as decoration and a fire crackling, it was an amazingly beautiful experience
That is one beautiful view from on top of the hill. Heat and cold is realative in ones own area. I believe you that you are hot Erin. I hope it cools down soon in Scotland.
Beautiful views all the way up the mountain.
I remember i didn't do much walking a few years ago, but done lots of cycling and my friends invited me out to walk Conic Hill. I thought because i done lots of cycling, i'd smash it. But the hill gets pretty savage at the stairs and i realised hill walking and cycling use totally different muscles. I thought i was gonna die haha! I've done it about 20+ times now and it's great, especially for a work out with some views but i think Ben A'an is my favourite wee Scottish Hill. The views are just as good, similar height but i feel Ben A'an is a wee bit more fun as some of the bits are a lot more tricky and it feels more like a proper hill, where as Conic is less "raw"
Love Ben A'an! Definitely on paar. I'm only picking conic as a fave because it's closer for me 😂
I really hope one day I'll get to see all those beautiful places in Scotland you show
Scotland sure is beautiful
Agreed
Hey Erin. Heard from my relatives over there that it was 31 in Glasgow last week. A bloody heatwave. Hope you recovered from the heat and humidity. I think its the humidity that knocks you about more. Hate the humidity. Another top video. Loved yours and Amy's banter. Take care and can't wait for the next one.
That was a lovely view! I've decided that when I go to Scotland I'll need to experience all your weather...so January to September or so. And I plan to wear out at least one pair of boots. Cheers!
i cant believe you actually got conic hill to yourself especially in this stunning weather i always seen to get it when its busy fantastic video i really enjoyed it
Oh we definitely didnt! I don't think that's possible lol. It was fairly busy but not as busy as usual because we went at night. I just wasn't filming when we passed people
@@ErinsHoose ah right ok i see lol did you visit the tom weit statue garden to
😂 Loved it! This was fun! And no matter what anyone else says, hiking in the heat is always more challenging. Good on you for doing it. Really beautiful views too! Thanks Erin!
Thanks Zen!
Great views. Definitely going to have to take another trip to Scotland one day. I've only seen Loch Lomond from the other side - a brief stop at Luss on my way to Fort William.
Shame about the tragic news from Loch Lomond today. 😥
Erin 'n Amy went on a hilly walk, came back feeling like two lobsters in a pot.
Sound like a fun get a way and laughed giggled the weekend away.
Amazing 🌼🌼🌼🌼
Av grew up way it normally pishing it down and now we put in a furnace
Only crossed Loomond from east to west - north end. Very narrow, there - not the broad expanse you see in the south. Looks beautiful ( with islands, even ) !
Damn Scotland really is beautiful
Great scenery/views.. why I love Scotland so much, oh btw your friend Amy wasn’t far off on the temperature front. Our hottest day was last week and it was 28.2C ( I googled it lol ) it was hotter than Brazil and Texas that day 😉😊
I’m from the states and yes it’s gets hotter there, but now as a person living in Scotland, it’s bloody hot as heck here!
🥵.
Great editing!! And content as always 😁
So lovely, I'd even walk it in the heat.
High twenties can be plenty awful if it's humid. In Canada we have temperatures adjusted for humidity - so if (like today) it's 26 but humid, they say that's equivalent to 32.
Yeah if it was a dryer heat it would've been more bearable but the clamminess made it pretty uncomfortable
I just giggled through this entire thing, much like the last time you did a vid together lol. Hearing other people laugh is super contagious! 😂😂😂
Also, is this area considered part of the Highlands?
Glad you enjoyed! It's not no, it's more southern in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park
@@ErinsHoose ah, thanks for the info! I recently learned that the Appalachian mountains here in the US are the same range as the Scottish Highlands because they formed before the Atlantic Ocean split them apart. I was like *mind blown* 😅
@@sarahwithanhyouheathen3210 That’s why many Scots settled there after the highland clearances.
@@davehemsley4124 yes i know, my family is one of them. It's very cool😎
Yeah I understand about heat and not being used to it and all. My father from Scotland had to wear a long sleeve shirt on sunny days when he was in the states. One bit of helpfull advice, if you are visiting a hot and arid place stay well hydrated. I've lived in hot and humid places and hot and arid places and I know from experience that you can get Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke really quick in hot and arid environments. That hot dry air bakes you like a low oven.
Of course! Wouldn't not stay hydrated in the heat. Would end badly.
I did the west highland way a few months ago and there was a cloud on top of conic hill so we got no views 😭😭
Conic Hill is great because of all the small islands at the end of Loch Lomond. A bit like Loch Maree. I have four more for you.
Stac Pollaidh because of its crazy shape and because I was once blown off it.
Benachie because of the tune Back o'Benachie.
Eildon Hills which has various tunes and poems.
Sgurr an Albanaich. I had to check the spelling against the posting on my Instagram because my Gaelic spelling is somewhat shocking. No bragging rights because I have only got to the top of one of these four. No West Highland Wayers on the way up or down?
There might well have been, we passed quite a lot of people
Awesome views! Also glad to see you driving a manual transmission, most people drive an automatic but a manual is much more fun
Ahh most people here drive manual! Don't really know many people who drive automatics at all tbh
Yea I was referring to here in the U.S, many people here especially women drive an automatic. It disappoints me. It made me happy to see you shifting gears!
Conic361 is good - try Gouk hill...Ace views over Lomond...
omg! how did you handle that in this heat?
by moaning about constantly it seems 😂
@@ErinsHoose good on you lol💚thats my girl🤣
aye Lassies, i thot i sawder Monsta Nessie in th' Loch! check yer vids closely! glad you had a Grand Day! Me Smiles fer you an th' Bestie Amy! 😊😁💙💙🌼🌼
What time of day did you hike up there Erin? When I went up Conic Hill there was hundreds of folk walking up and down it. It was actually more like Sauchiehall street that day.
"That was a Noooo Baaad video all the same" Lol 👍
I never go during the day or at the weekend. Always later on at night. This was around half 6/7pm on a Tuesday night. Thanks for watching :)
AYE Scotland is hot just now its still 235c here and its 7.20 pm
Ach I forgot the dot lol
@@neilsouthern321 come down tae Australia mate and see what hot is.
You know why the Devil came down too Georgia ? Hot has Hell and the Humidity is totally unbearable for human & beast. Sadly the closest I got too Scotland was the Lake District. Maybe one day take a long long Holiday too Scotland .God you Ladies & Scotland ! The answer to 1984 is 1776 !
What's the temp in Scotland lately?
Varies constantly...it can be in the late twenties for a few days then cold the next day and back to warm again - v temperamental lol
@@ErinsHoose then I'm with you, late 20's is far too hot😂 thanks for replying Erin 🥰
I hope you remembered your sun screen!! Hehe
And hey now small boobs gets sweaty and uncomfortable too! But yes I imagine bigger ones are worse haha
Conic Hill looks lovely!! We'll have to get up there at some point.
-Jodi (just so you know it was me commenting about sweaty boobs and not Steve 😂)
Is there any place for parking?
Yeah there's a big carpark at the bottom but it can get really busy on sunny days and at weekends
Wait what is going on in Scotland? I was under the impression that Scotland doesn't get summer weather being so far north and all. This warmer weather is part of a global warm trend. In the north western United States. the weather is getting up 120 Fahrenheit; which is 48.89 Celsius. There has been roads that have buckled in the heat that's how bad its been. So for a place like Scotland to get hot summer weather, it's a global warming nightmare. Each year is breaking recorders around the world in how hot it's getting. I fear the worst is yet to come.
I Did enjoy the video though. I always love the hiking videos. Though I have to say: you and Amy have had it to easy with all the colder weather in Scotland that the both of you can't handle hot weather. Better get use to it fast because more of is coming everywhere in the world. Also, when you walk in heat you keep getting sweatier the more you walk, so it no shock that you got sweatier coming down form the hill. I can see people in Scotland are not use to hot weather.😆
😂 😂 Of course I know the more you walk the sweatier you get, but ooft the humidity was something else. We get hot weather every year, we always do. But it varies in the month and the length. One day it could be hot, the next it might not be. But we do always have sunny spells in summer. Some years more than others. Thanks for watching :)
The balmy temperatures clearly had no effect on you :) Seriously I'd never want to leave that spot with such views. I swear if Scotland was a person..preferably female...I'd put a ring on it
Heat in Scotland is nothing against a swarm of midges
yeah I'd take the heat anyday
Dont conic hill this morning
Such proper pretty women. Not "sweating" but "perspiring."
Nah, let's be honest, everyone sweats and we were sweating BUCKETS
...sweaten's good...

I literally have zero melanin, its too hot for me
I probably shouldn’t watch this video of you breathing hard going up the hill while I’m struggling on the elliptical. It’s not as motivational as one might think. Hot, you don’t know hot. Let me tell you. One year it was so hot that my mom baked my birthday cake by mixing the batter, pouring it into a pan and leaving it on the kitchen table through dinner. By the time we’d finished eating, the cake was perfectly baked. And I didn’t even have candles because they kept melting. True story.
