Blethering Ben - In search of a sunset on West Lomond

- Breathing deeply on a wonderfully cold West Lomond as the sun goes down....with early thoughts about winter for those of us in Tier 3 lockdown, and suddenly catching a familiar distinctive pong ;-)
By this point I'd already been up East Lomond for the sunrise, and while a Lomonds double seemed the way to go, I didn't actually get a spectacular sunset to close the day. However.....two weeks ago I got exactly that, so have instead included some footage of what unexpectedly turned out to be one my most memorable sunsets in a long time. Enjoy!

Cold smells amazing! It needs a good name, like petrichor or sussuration.
Hmm, good point. I'll have to devote some time to come up with something ;-)
Good back to back videos 😁
Like waiting for buses ;-)
Amazing.I couldn’t wait for a new video. After such a long time. Hello Ben from a guy on a MTB that you met in Linn of Dee car park in Cairngorms last August 🚲⛰⛰
Hello back! That seems a lifetime ago now eh?
@@BenvironmentBlog Yes it was August 2019 and I was with my pregnant wife. Now my son is one year old and I can’t wait to take him for a proper mountain adventure. We did some short walks carrying him in baby carrier in Arrochar Alps, Whitelee Windfarm, Queen Elizabeth Forest outside Aberfoyle, Rowandennan and few more places but only about 10 miles long. When he will be older me and my wife we want to show him how beautiful and magnificent Scotland is 🏴⛰🚵🏻♂️🌧🌦
West Lomond has a grand view. You can see all the hills from which you can see West Lomond.
Amen to that.
Great film Ben what amazing footage you got! I watched your uploads over the years and i used to think why does that nutter always want summer to end etc Aye well 8 years of Munro bagging later i totally subscribe to your thinking :))))
What changed your mind? ;-)
@@BenvironmentBlog No sunburn, no midges, less muddy peat hags/bogs etc, nice cool air to breath and the sunrises seem to be better :)
I've done my bit in sitting in cloud waiting.. (-!
about the cold: we got blackthorn blooming and marsh marigold and some beech tree buds start popping
omg wtf and such
cheers nice to see you again
Thanks! A sad sign of the times I suspect.
@@BenvironmentBlog Yep.. I, ehr - yeah -
Last time I moved house I came across my old ice skates. I didn't bother taking them along any further.
Great video Ben been really enjoying you're videos you've inspired to me to take up hiking it's great! Have you climbed much hills in East Ayrshire or Dumfries and Galloway? Cairnsmore of Carsphairn is excellent highly recommend it climbed it last month 👍.
Thanks David. I've been to Dalbeattie, Rhinns of Kells, Merrick, Stinchar Bridge etc but not done as much as I'd like. One day!
@@BenvironmentBlog Excellent yeah Rhinns of Kells are some sight on a clear day, Cairn Table in Muirkirk is fantastic huge Cairn at summit largest I have seen can see all the way to the Pentlands!
Missing ben videos. Everything ok mate?
So global warming's not for you then mate ? Nice vid Ben. Hope you get some snow soon. Take care till next time
If climate change means patterns get stuck and we get the occasional Siberian high then that would be lovely thank you ;-)
