I haven't been in the right headspace lately for chatty, fun videos but once I forced myself up Ben Ledi, I felt pretty good 😂 FIND ME HERE! - INSTAGRAM - / erinshoose
I have never seen orange twirls before and I've seen them all over your socials and now I desperately want one!! Also... how many times did you run back for the camera? xD At 4:52 I swear I could see my hoose from there... The shot at 7:00 is hauntingly beautiful
So incredibly frustrated I can't get to Scotland. Canadian guy of Scottish decent who feels it's the best country on earth (my roots talking, no doubt). I want to be there so badly and I live vicariously through you Erin. God's country!!! I LOVE IT! Made more friends there and shared more drinks than anywhere in my life's travels. Dogs in pubs by fireplace... BLISS!
I loved this. It made me think of my Dad. Today is exactly six months since he passed away (at the amazing age of 90!). He was a Munroe Completer! You’ve inspired me to do a bit of climbing :)
Awesome hike. I've got to get out there to the highlands some day. I hike the white mountains in New Hampshire often and i bring my bagpipes with me. I love playing at the top by myself and then when I pass people on the way down I'm like "why no, I didn't hear any bagpipes playing...." Mu hu hah ha ha.
Sorry to hear you haven't been in the right headspace. After your hike, what came out of your mind? 0:54 - OMG!! Twirl - is that the candy/sweetie that looks like it's been woven or something, like a large braid? 1:54 - That looks good, but what am I thinking of? Had to google it... Curly Wurly!!!
Can't wait to visit Scotland one day! I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Called Grayson Highlands because so many Scots settled here in the mid 1700s. Your hike reminded my of some of my treks here, beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for this. I love quiet ,remote outdoor spaces. Sometimes I'm out maybe with just my dog and after a long while I'll say something to the dog and for a brief second I'm startled by my voice. Odds are very much against me ever walking up Ben Ledi so now I can feel like I have.
I'm sweatin just watchin this LOL #Drippin says it all LOL. you never disappoint Erin! fun chatty hill-walk and pure magical scenery too. ; ) and i see your really testing the limits of that camera you just got repaired by zoomin in on that wee cloud LOL
Thank you! It took me about 4 hours max I think but I fannied about a lot with my camera, filming etc and I stopped a lot. There's more info here www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/ben-ledi.shtml
BeautyCreep thank you, fantastic website! Will be using for sure. I’m probably not ready for a Ben Ledi - love the rhyme 😂😝- but I can do a bunch of other easier paths...for now.
Wowww I love your videos and I love this video probably the most the VIEW!😍😍 I’m definitely moving to Scotland thank you!! (I’m from America, California- Los Angeles atm💀) but I hope the Scottish would accept me. 🥲🖤✋🏾
My Grandfather passed away last week. We found an old journal entry where he said one regret he had was he never got to hike in Scotland. I'm planning my trip for next year. What a beautiful country.
This video is why I want to move to scotland its so beautiful and quiet and peaceful, and the people are so nice and friendly (overall) In america you can rarely find peaceful places, and (for me at least) meeting people is a gamble..
My ancestors were traced to the year 1500 in the Orkney island chain. Does that make them Scots or perhaps Norse/ Norwegian or both? Can you relate to Orkney being Scottish? Looks quite different from the mainland.
Hi Erin.😊 I just by chance stumbled across your channel the other day when I was curious of what Scotland looks like. So,I checked it out on line and, that's when I came across your channel. And,I gotta tell you, you are one cool woman who for sure puts a huge smile on my face 👍 I love your humor Erin. Always making me chuckle 😊 I'm from the states and where I live,it's somewhat like scotland. Alot of forestry. And, that's what I like. If only I could see it much better would be great.y vision isn't the best. I'm going blind due to a rare eye condition called choroideremia. I can still see but, only out of my left eye 👀. And, what I see is like looking through a straw. A bummer 👎 I know. But,on the plus side,stem cell therapy within the next 5 to 10 years. I just hope by then I'm not completely blind. What we all need is god's kingdom. And, it's coming 👍. You stay safe out there ok. And, I'll see you in your next video. God bless you Erin.🙏❤️👍
Just came across your Vlog as it had Ben Ledi. The last time I was up Ben Ledi I was about 14 doing the Duke of Edinburgh award . One of the guys got hypothermia and it was blowing a gale we had to make sure he was ok and I was battering open a can of Heinz Lentil & Bacon soup.( we did not have freeze dried ) taken cold and digestive biscuits with jam. We got him down safe . Ah Happy days . I am 61 now and still enjoy a good walk, thanks your video was fun. All the best Derek Burns
Just started hillwalking last weekend, remember doing Ben Ledi though for a school trip when i was about 10 years old. Loved the vid, was this a weekday as looks very quiet.
#Drippin...how appropriate, the abandoned village of Drippan is just along the road, passed there the other week on the Great Trossachs path. looks like a nice day out.
Iam new subscriber Arabic lady citizen thank you for showing us such magnificent landscapes beauty of nature you as guide tourist encourage us to read information about places you visited we as foreigners subscribers as overseas students enjoy to explore places unknown to us I gathered some main information about Ben ledi its Scotland mountain north west of callander main part of trosdachs mean English translation hill of long shoulder name language Gaelic eastern slopes of Ben Ledi owned by forestry land of Scotland part of queen Elizabeth forest park time to climb Ben ledi approximatly 2to 3 hours Ben means Irish mountain peak. Best time for climbing in May and September don’t attempt to climb Ben ledi in winter unless you properly prepared with crampons and ice axe thank you for giving chance to read to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well stay safe blessed best wishes ihope for your channel more success and progress
Hey, nice video, loving this wild nature 😊 I’m wondering, I heard that scottish lasses sometimes take nude pics at the top of the mountains, is that true?
during a hike recently i came up behind two young women who were talking about mowing the lawn naked. so talking about having a pee isn't so unusual! just found your channel, great work. best wishes in the coming new year.
I its a bit oh a hike up there hen getting some fresh air in the lungs x pat watching from Australia ,my wife and I do these walks when we’re back for a visit love it and we are in our late 60s, thanks for the video hen
Damn, I really need to come and settle in Scotland someday. I really love walks and these type of walks would be lovely (well, besides the being exhausted part, my condition sucks lol). But these views, this atmosphere it all just feels so great and l really would love to be able to live there. Thank you for this video, maybe I also should get around to walking wherever I can.
Brilliant, had me laughing haha. I gotta say, I have a moment like that on every hill where I can't be bothered. The miracle cure for me is a few jelly babies straight in the gub and its time to power on haha 😄 Cheers, Kris.
Love the video. You fell Again 🤣. You weren't flashing when you fell 🤣 OMG this is too funny. Beautiful scenery. Scotland has such beautiful natural places.
Took me about 4 hours up and down but I stop a lot to film etc and I lost about half an hour when sorting camera settings. www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/ben-ledi.shtml
Well done you 👍 I know exactly how you felt during this walk / hill climb. I did a munro the other week , the first since pre lock down and I can tell you that I nearly gave up on two occasions . The only thing that spurred me on was the forlorn look on my father in law's face when I said I can't do this . He's a true munro bagger and I couldn't let him down . So glad when we reached the top but the windy conditions were horrendous . Nothing like a hot cup of coffee huddled behind a very small rock lol. Anyway great achievement , the next one will be easier I'm sure 😁
Thanks! I have a pair of good hiking boots and have worn them up this hill every time I've walked it previously, but I preferred wearing my trainers up this one. Found it much comfier/lighter this time round since it's a good path.
Nice! I done Ben A'an yesterday as i haven't done any hills for ages. I was surprised though with how busy it was. I got there for 9am and the all the local car parks were full with about 100 or so people on the wee hill.
This was grand! Scenery looked absolutely amazing! Glad ya got some outdoor time too! Nature does have a habit of revivifying. It was fun to see another hill walking video again! And any future outdoor videos are always welcomed. Absolutely enjoyed this!!
I like these type of videos, I get to see what I can not normally see, thank you. How tall are you? Only to understand the size of the rock you hugged :)
Great video great to see u going back up the hills , this must have been a weed day because i was up ben a'nn yesterday and you couldn't move for people ....take care 🙂
If you enjoyed this video, please click the subscribe button for more Scottish content :)
It's been WAY TOO LONG since the last hill vlog!
I love your accent
@Cro Magnon1215 Hey bro! Good question btw!
You said it LOL😁. I love the hill vlog. They are fun to watch and you always meet such interesting people 🤣!
@Cro Magnon1215 Scots, I do speak a bit now and then, but don't know any Gaelic and unfortunately don't know anyone else who speaks it either 👎
I love the new orange twirls as well 😍😍
well done lassie
OH ITS EIRN NOT AARON.SORRY
I have never seen orange twirls before and I've seen them all over your socials and now I desperately want one!!
Also... how many times did you run back for the camera? xD
At 4:52 I swear I could see my hoose from there...
The shot at 7:00 is hauntingly beautiful
You neeeed to try them! So good! Hahaha a fair few times 😂 thanks for watching :D
And so I totally went back and checked at 8:04 , I get there and DOH ! imma slow one :)
Loved this video Erin :)
Thanks Shaun :)

Aww wow amazing age! Thank you for watching and for your comment :) hope you enjoy hillwalking!
What is a "Munroe Completer"?
I am in love with the Scottish accent!! 😍
Must be weird being named Ben in Scotland, everyone thinks you're a mountain hahah
That and "Glen"!
but can u name the loch in scotland thats not a loch see if you can get that one lol
I enjoyed that! Going for a wee solo jaunt up this hill on Wednesday….. so typed in “how to climb Ben Ledi”….. and you came up. Cheers 👍
Awesome hike. I've got to get out there to the highlands some day. I hike the white mountains in New Hampshire often and i bring my bagpipes with me. I love playing at the top by myself and then when I pass people on the way down I'm like "why no, I didn't hear any bagpipes playing...." Mu hu hah ha ha.
Yes, another hill walk! I've missed these. You'll get your mojo back after a few more walks.
Do you like fishing for fish?
Karaoke on Ben Ledi with some Buckie, class. 😁
Thanks Erin because of you I can visit scotland without actually going there
It's been so long! I missed these types of vlogs. Loved it! So peaceful.

I must admit that her accent is sexy. On the flip side I barely understand what she is saying.😂😂😂😂
Don't know about spiritual but it was definitely 'anointed' by the time you left!😊👍
I'm sweatin just watchin this LOL #Drippin says it all LOL. you never disappoint Erin! fun chatty hill-walk and pure magical scenery too. ; ) and i see your really testing the limits of that camera you just got repaired by zoomin in on that wee cloud LOL
Thanks Chris!
I really enjoyed that i like this kind of your videos like more your vlogs you're beautiful and much funny thank you for your videos..
Enjoy your outdoor videos so much. How much time did it take to climb up and down? Beautiful scenery 😍😍
Thank you! It took me about 4 hours max I think but I fannied about a lot with my camera, filming etc and I stopped a lot. There's more info here www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/ben-ledi.shtml

Scottish person saying: "There's some cloud now... u-u-uh" with apprehension - thought I'd never see that )))
Wowww I love your videos and I love this video probably the most the VIEW!😍😍 I’m definitely moving to Scotland thank you!! (I’m from America, California- Los Angeles atm💀) but I hope the Scottish would accept me. 🥲🖤✋🏾
Something about a beautiful woman out in the wild drives me mad.
Just watched this and it definitely made me laugh.. Great description and footage 👏👏

What a beautiful hike, watching your face was the best part, I love your videos smile
Getting caught up on some of your vlogs that got past me months ago. Today is 6 Jan, 2021. When you said "I'm dying" 🥺😳.
Just started hillwalking last weekend, remember doing Ben Ledi though for a school trip when i was about 10 years old. Loved the vid, was this a weekday as looks very quiet.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures, Erin. That was fun!
Lovely video and full of humor.

Well done Erin, and thanks for the Lekker vlog. It’s lovely that it’s safe for you to be able to walk alone. In South Africa it’s not recommended.
Hey, nice video, loving this wild nature 😊 I’m wondering, I heard that scottish lasses sometimes take nude pics at the top of the mountains, is that true?

You looked pretty tired when you got back in the car. Well, at least you got some exercise, right?
Was knackered!
Are all the scots girls as beautiful as you. Your country is beautiful as well
Gonna check out wee Ben griahm mor soon for a bit of sanity.. Its in the flow country near Forsinard
nice hike. I have spent many a day in the White Mountains of New Hampshire US
I its a bit oh a hike up there hen getting some fresh air in the lungs x pat watching from Australia ,my wife and I do these walks when we’re back for a visit love it and we are in our late 60s, thanks for the video hen
Thanks for doing it even though you didn't want to. Time for a Ginwag methinks.
I wish I was in Scotland right now 😭 thank you for sharing this beautiful country with us 🤗❤️
Awesome scenery, well done.

Me too, it's usually just as I take my seat belt off.
Severe lack of sweets in my backpack this time! I'll sort that for next time 😅
@@ErinsHoose love to try a fried mars bar and would love to see if I could make it to the summet of Ben ledi. Could do with losing some weight though
I like the path up the mountain. Beautiful views all the way to the summit that’s sweet 😎🏔
lovely walk, thanks Erin.
Great to get away from it all and clear yer head,Nice video.
gorgeous views of Ben Ledi! Thanks for sharing.
This was brilliant to see the amazing views and scenery. Great video! :)
Thanks for the video. Love your accent.
That was fun! Of course, you did all the work. Thumbs up.
Breathtaking views! We really missed your hiking vlogs!
I loved this! About how long does it take to hike Ben Ledi?
Haha you might have seen my dad he goes running up there every day
Soo majestic thanks for your efforts !
😂😂😂....very spiritual place..... Erin goes and pee on it. Thanks for sharing.
When you've got to go, you've got to go!
Loving your edits and title cards throughout your video
Ull need climb Ben Nevis to clear that head
Love the video. You fell Again 🤣. You weren't flashing when you fell 🤣 OMG this is too funny. Beautiful scenery. Scotland has such beautiful natural places.
Thanks Amber!
If not how long does it take up and down?
Took me about 4 hours up and down but I stop a lot to film etc and I lost about half an hour when sorting camera settings. www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/ben-ledi.shtml
@@ErinsHoose Thank you so much
I've heard it's near Callender I've stayed there.

Great job and what a lovely area! But girl, you need to get yourself some good hiking boots! 🥾🏞💙🤍💚

Thank you!
Its so Beautiful there. One day I will walk that trail.
Nice vid 👌 cracking hill and seemed so quiet 🤫.... subd
Thank you!
That was a great video. It looks nice and peaceful at the top. Keep doing more of these please. Weather permitting. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦🍺🍺
Glad you enjoyed!
I like these type of videos, I get to see what I can not normally see, thank you. How tall are you? Only to understand the size of the rock you hugged :)
Oh yeah the trig point was on a raised platform haha, but I'm about 5'6
I would love to hike Ben ledi
Wish I lived in Scotland
Great video great to see u going back up the hills , this must have been a weed day because i was up ben a'nn yesterday and you couldn't move for people ....take care 🙂
Yeah, was a wed :)
Beautiful view. But you should pace yourself more. It sounds like you're racing at times.
Walkwise? I was crawling up it most of the way 😂
first : )
Thanks for the inspiration
Would you rate the walk?
Loved this video. So thrilled that you took us along. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed :)
Another brilliant vid Erin.loved it.
Beautiful hike 'n bet you enjoyed all the silent moments. Boots are a pain but worse is an ankle strain.
I loved having a break from the boots! Felt like I could move a lot easier. Might get some trail shoes sometime
I love your hillwalk videos 💜
Great video. #wanderingscot
A very nice area for a hike.
Wow...what an amazing, beautiful view. The hills look lovely too...lol. Kisses for your bum cheek. 😁👍👍
WHERE IS THAT.ABERDEAN
Scotland is very scenic, shame about the grey sky...
You get used to it :P it still looks amazing in bad weather :D
Love the hiking videos . :) Would you ever try the West Highland Way ?
Would love to!
Can't beat a bimble up the Ledi to blow the cobwebs away.
Great wee hill
hiking in Scotland is my dream...
