    I love see Scotland in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    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 👍😎

    Abbie, it's wonderful to see you so happy and it was enjoyable watching you and Anna interact with each other. 🙂

    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.

  • @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.

    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 😂

    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.

  • @allano937

    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.

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

  • @benvickery
    @benvickery 3 роки тому

    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!
