Ben Vorlich and Loch Earn | Walking the Scottish Highlands | Munro | Drone Footage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Come along for a walk up Ben Vorlich, a Munro on the Western egde of Perthshire, and a drive along the beautiful Loch Earn! I even dragged my drone up the mountain just so I could show you some beautiful footage ;). Ben Vorlich is 985 meters or 3232 feet high and has great views over both the Scottish Highlands and the Lowlands. A big recommendation for anybody who is doing a road trip around Scotland. Enjoy!

Looks great!
Thank you. A beautifully documented walk. Love Loch Earn, such bonnie area. You had lovely light for the whole walk, casting shadows ovr the hills.Thanks again 👍😊......Alioban
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for a great video! This is the first I have watched that mentions the wildlife and plant life on a hill. For me climbing hills is about what I can spot, the views, fitness and the company. Not just ticking boxes and going fast as possible! Thank you.
Thank you! Yes, observing the environment is a must for me! I love finding new plants and insects. But it also gives me an excuse to go at a leisurely pace and not overextend myself. 😁 Same with photography. It's a great opportunity for a little rest.
Landscape of the Scottish Highlands is so scenic and beautiful. Very different to what I'm used of hiking in the Swiss Alps. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Lucerne, Switzerland!
Thank you for stopping by on my channel! Yeah, the Eastern part of the Scottish Highlands are quite different, the Western part is more similar to the Alps, with pointy and rocky mountains, just a lot smaller. 😊
@@OnMistyMountains It was a pleasure. ;) I wasn't aware. I've been to Scotland, but only to Edinburgh. I love to explore more of what Scotland has to offer. :)
So fantastic nature footages
Glad you liked it! 😊
I really love your attention to the detail of the landscape and nature around you.Glad I subscribed, your videos are great. Many thanks.
Thank you! What a nice comment. Well I'm happy you're enjoying it! It does give me some extra motivation to see that people like what I put out. 😊
Great video, very informative and well filmed 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼😎
Thank you!!
It's interesting that you said Ben Vorlich reminds you of Schiehallion. I was just thinking the same when seeing the drone shot just before you said that! Great vid. I did Ben Ledi a couple of years ago nearby and Ben Vorlich stood out as a nice one to do whenever in the area again.
Thank you! I think I would definitely do Ben Vorlich again and not think so much about filming everything and carrying equipment. 😂 But Ben Ledi is on my list as well!
How difficult is the hike? I’m wanting to go with a group of people, but it would be good to know the difficulty level beforehand. Just for difficulty comparison, I’ve done Ben Venue in 2020 and Ben Lomond in 2015. So I haven’t been to hiking in a while - although I did do Ben A’an last year.
I'd say it's no more than medium. I haven't done Ben Lomond yet, but compared to Ben Venue it felt shorter overall and to me personally the entirety of the path felt steeper. From what I remember of Ben Venue there was a long road to get there and then a bit scrambling to get to the upper plateau. There's not much scrambling with Ben Vorlich, it's mainly grass, stone steps and some scattered rocks. It's going uphill gradually, but fairly relentlessly and it gets steeper the further you go up. The landscape and shape made me think of a small version of Schiehallion, but much easier. There aren't any leg-breaking rocks on Ben Vorlich. As far as Ben Vorlich and Ben Venue go, I'd say they're matched in difficulty, but in different ways. I found going up Ben Venue more enjoyable with lots of variety of the terrain, not just gradually going up, but the way back was so long that I was pretty shattered. Mount Blair, for example, was really bad for me because it's going up so gradually and relentlessly, it felt like there was no level bit of path until we got to the top. I find that the hardest to walk. I had to take quite a few breaks on Ben Vorlich too. I like variety and I find scrambling to be fun. But some people probably quite like having a gradual ascent. So it depends on what each individual finds more difficult. (If you find gradual ascents easy, then Ben Vorlich might as well be an easy walk for you, but not for me.) If we go back to Ben Vorlich, I'll also try to do Stuc A' Chroin.That would make the walk longer, but if you're up there you might as well if you have good weather and enough food, drink and daylight. It's lovely once you get to the top. 😉 I hope I have explained it sufficiently. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask and I hope you enjoy the walk if you go!
Was there a temptation to dip your feet in the Loch at the end of your walk?
I think I was too tired to even think about it, but actually doing it would probably have relieved my sore feet. 😂 I will keep that in mind next time, as a lot of people do a quick dip in cold water after a long mountain walk to prevent sore muscles. Looking at the footage, the water does look pretty inviting. 😁
@@OnMistyMountains My first thought on the water was on your way up and you walked over those bubbling streams and I thought "That looks refreshing, I wonder if they have a filter on them to replenish their water supplies?" And looking at the Loch at the end reminded me of jumping in the lake at summer camp and how refreshing that was. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
@@danieltaylor5231 I never thought of having filters. That sounds quite helpful. (Although I would be confident in drinking from a lot of Scottish springs unfiltered, the water quality is great.) We actually thought about filling up on one of the streams, but then decided that we had just about enough water left.
😂
