  • First time walking Ben Nevis via the tourist route. Had a lovely day out, admiring the beautiful Scottish Landscape. I was so fortunate to have a clear day! This is the tallest mountain in the UK and a big tourist destination.

    The highest point here in Denmark is Ejer BavneHøj, and every time I'm up there I get quite dizzy. haha it's 173 meters high, it's not very much to compare with.

      Wow, I can't imagine that! I live in Palmer, Alaska, and the tallest mountain here in the state is Denali at 6k meters! Also, there are dozens of mountains with elevations over 1k meters within a a few miles of where I live.

    Hiya, ive just recently subscribed to your channel - its great to see your passion and commitment to the outdoors...I keep dipping in and out of your vids in no particular order and they're helping me stay sane and motivated in lockdown, even though my wife keeps laughing at my plaster covered, cut, sliced and burnt fingers from my bushcraft projects.
    If / when you get a chance, you could hike up Ben Nevis via the CMB Arete route round the back of the mountain - its quite spectacular and 100% nicer than the (already very nice) tourist route....I'm sure you'd really like it - and it gives views that most people never see. If you enjoy the Snowdon Crib Goch route, the CMD is that on steroids (but very doable).
    Thanks very much for entertaining us.

    I'd need 183 out of 282 munro charms on my back pack, with one for Snowdon attached too...quite a weight to carry and for me unnecessary. I would have burst and cut the loose skin off of my feet; see Le Marathon du Sable. I met up with two Frenchmen in Mauritania who had not long finished it and they told me the medics each evening cut the blisters from the racers feet. Quite a sight to see in video! As I have said before, I use Wellington's in the winter and sandals in the summer. To date; as a nurse, I have saved a small fortune in walking boots. Well done Rebecca. Safe journey home.

    Hi Becky. Looks like you were pretty knackered at the end there, don't blame you. This is all inspiring me to get out there next year, perhaps in the less busy months. I think that's an Osprey backpack you have, if it is, i don't know if you know, but they now sell the day lids for the UK/Euro packs, like the ones that come custom with the U.S version? They're perfect for when you have a basecamp as you just take the lid off your back pack and it turns into a lightweight smaller backpack for day trips away from basecamp. I recently purchased one and it's a lifesaver. Fits everything you need for the day without having to take your whole backpack with not so much stuff in it. Anyway, thought I'd let you know. I look forward to more videos soon. :-)
