Beautiful video, I did that walk last September except we crossed the river near the hydro dam and followed a indistinct path to the ridge then along the ridge to the summit, never passed anyone until reaching the summit, It was a beautiful day just like the one you had.
Thanks for posting this Abbie, heading back to my Homeland this May and Ben Arthur/Cobbler is on my list. My Mom took us to the States in 1970 but there is always a "wee" tug every few years to return and see some more of it. Will be "base-camping" at my sister's place in Dunoon, only an hour or so from Ben Arthur. Cheers - Bryce
Lovely video with you both. Thanks for keeping my lock down spirits up. Hopefully not long til we're all able to get to the mountains again. Thanks ladies :)
This is a great route for someone looking for an introduction into hillwalking. You get some excellent views from the top too. It was one of my first climbs in Scotland.
Thank you for the lovely video. Beautiful area! Walked to Ben Arthur yesterday, just wonderful, even or especially in winter. Could not go to the summit because it was getting dark :-)
They were some truly epic views and scenery. I love Scotland so much! Also its lovely to see Summer again. Looking forward to warm and bright days again :-D
Ah! To revel in the glorious green of summer while watching on a cold and blustery February day. This is what a good cup of tea and a cranberry scone were made for. 😄. Thank you for this video. ❤️
Another fabulous walk. This is one I always wanted to do. Living near Glasgow, I should have been up it. One day in the future soon. Hope you and Anna are well! ❤️
I've climbed the Cobbler a couple of times, never had the testicular fortitude to tackle the needle though. Completed Beinn Narnairn and Beinn Ime for the first time a week ago and both give amazing views. The Arrochar Alps are a special place.
The route you took up from Succoth where you parked is a lot gentler than the drag up from the criminally overpriced car park at the bottom of the main path up - the one you couldn't get into, where folk always get ticketed if they park on the grass when it's full. The route up from Succoth also gives great access to Ben Narnain, via the remnants of the steep disused trackbed that housed a temporary train line that served the construction of the Loch Sloy dam workings. I'm glad you had a good day out. Plans that aren't flexible are a tyranny.
Lovely walk up to the Cobbler. I have a slideshow of both the Cobbler and Beinn Ime which is the one you want to do next time on my channel. I was lucky to get the weather on both occasions. ATB.
Abbie really love your channel,sipping my earl grey tea,you are such a lovely girl and it shines through in your lovely videos,big fan and stay safe debs..
I believe I mentioned to you before about Scottish hill carparks but on facebook groups, the management of the Cobbler always raises it's ugly head. The counci know it is a popular hill and appear to be making parking difficult to anyone arriving quite late in the morning so they can grab fines. There is a hotel in Arrochar who have seen that. You can park free but must sign in at hotel reception. The down side if you can call it that is you park free on promise you buy a meal in the restuarant on your return. OK we are in covid lockdown now so hotel is shut but its still a good deal. park free and buy a burger or salad when you return. instant win all round. I would suggest if your going to be a regular, go at least 2 course meal :) You did the cobbler, there is no reason to try attempt a second munro in one trip. Your problem with hill names in scotland is they are all in Gaelic and not prounoced how they look. words to look for are Geal = white and Dhbu= black. used often to describe hills and lochs. Im glad you girls are enjoying my country.
Still on my ‘to do’ list, but I fear a new hip is in order before it becomes possible again. Still, watching somebody climb it is next best thing. For better description of routes I’d suggest Ralph Storer’s ‘100 Best Routes...’ Having seen the series of little book you were using we were concerned that they were a bit sketchy and having come from Skye when we saw it we were worried that it was vague to the point of being dangerous as it didn’t seem to have any warnings about the severe terrain that might be experienced on some of the Cuillin peaks it described. As a ‘rough guide’ it’s probably fine but Storer does give warnings and grades the walks in terms of difficulty, navigation, terrain etc., which gives you a better clue as to what to what you are letting yourself in for! Better yet it gives a guide on how to pronounce the Gaelic names of the peaks so you can say where you are going/where you’ve been!
Is this a relatively easy route to follow? Me and my partner are both physically fit enough but I’m a bit worried about getting lost. Is some form of navigation essential? Thanks :)
Oh dear this is no good at all. Watching this makes me want to go out walking in the hills again (which I can’t do at the moment because we’re in lockdown and there are no hills near me) harrumph 😒 oh well just have to make plans for when we can again.
Pretty sure this doesn't come under the lockdown rules of Scotland. You shouldn't be here. You travelled from England into Scotland, which is against the rules. This video was irresponsible.
Thanks Abbie, So looking forward to getting up to Scotland again!
The only thing better than trekking through the woods is trekking through the woods with a loved one.

sure enjoyed this bright , sunny hike thru the green foliage to offset the gray drab here in TN. thanks, ladies. 🙂

Ask the mountains...

That was so nice. Made me crave warm weather and freedom!

A very enjoyable walk, Abbie.
What would it be like to retrace it in the depths of the Scottish winter? (With appropriate guidance).
👍
Only in country for 2 more days, then back to the states. I now know what I'm doing tomorrow! Thanks!
Loved, loved, loved this video. It brought back memories of my trails where I like to go. Stunning mountain views. This was really uplifting.
Thanks for this Abbie, a much needed sense of adventure and exploration, hope you are both well, Ceri and Kat ☕❤👍

Abbie has just given Anna her trail name (10:19): Grim Reaper
Thank you, Abbie. 👍🙂🏴

Nice walk well done.
As if I didn't want to go to Scotland already... Gorgeous!
Nice, a new hiking video from Scotland. I love those once the most! Greetings from Poland.
Lovely country! i like those long alpine views.

Been well over 25 years since I was up there. Did you thread the eye of the needle? Another great production, thanks Abbie and Grim Reaper

Great place and nice video !
What a lovely video!
Abbie really love your channel,sipping my earl grey tea,you are such a lovely girl and it shines through in your lovely videos,big fan and stay safe debs..
what a wonderful view 😻, I'd like to go here there like you. this is Korea walk! ❤️
Awww, this fills my "Heimweh" for Scotland, I so love this country... Thank you!
"Heimweh" or "Fernweh" ;-)
@@Flurb_Xray Well "Fernweh" is the better word XD
@@blablette7614 I am joining! Have the same feeling.
Love it as always Abbie and Anna. But when did you do this walk cos isn’t winter in Scotland?
Great video girls!

I'm not used to seeing so many people on the trail with you. Has to be annoying but good to see people out at the same time.
Probably filmed in between Lockdowns last summer. Everyone hit the hills. ✌🏻
Is this a relatively easy route to follow? Me and my partner are both physically fit enough but I’m a bit worried about getting lost. Is some form of navigation essential? Thanks :)
Yes, almost all the hills in the Arrochar alps area are easy to navigate.
It's a fantastic compact area and not easy to get lost in.
@@alistairthow1384 we went back in June and it was great 👍 thanks for the reply 👍
How long did it take to get to the top?
A few hours I think it was!
As soon as you hear Lemon Jelly you know the rest is going to be good.
Good morning
Are you the narrator in this film ? i,m always confused :)
Oh dear this is no good at all. Watching this makes me want to go out walking in the hills again (which I can’t do at the moment because we’re in lockdown and there are no hills near me) harrumph 😒 oh well just have to make plans for when we can again.
Gruss Gott
Very nice video please slow yourself down you going to fast
Pretty sure this doesn't come under the lockdown rules of Scotland. You shouldn't be here. You travelled from England into Scotland, which is against the rules. This video was irresponsible.
Based on the weather and number of people, I would say this was filmed earlier this year and only just put on TH-cam now.
The walk clearly wasn't contemporaneous with the current lockdown restrictions.
