- Ben Chonzie (also known as Ben-y Hone) is a Munro located North of Comrie and Crieff with a very gradual ascent and a big pleateau on top. With a lack of rocky outcrops or other features, some people have dubbed it 'boring', but not in my experience. So come along on a walk up Ben Chonzie!
I also recorded a fun little tune on our vintage Casiotone MT-205. Let me know if you have been up Ben Chonzie and if you haven't, are you interested in going? Enjoy!

Very nice video. I have no idea why this wonderful Munro was given such a ridiculous label. It is far from boring and commands wonderful views from the summit. I really enjoyed cycling to the top. Great video. Cheers. Stoozer. 🤠
I agree, I had fun. Would totally have a picnic up there in the summer. 😁
Absolutely 🤠@@OnMistyMountains
Thank you for the video. If you don’t mind me saying, the correct pronunciation is Ben y hone
Thank you! Yes, a few people have said this. When a colleague of mine first called it that, I was plain confused. 😂
@@OnMistyMountains Ben Y Hone catches everyone out. In Gaelic there are only 18 letters, which means combinations of letters make different sounds, especially if there's an H involved and there is no Z, which is an anomaly from an English translation. Without wanting to offend anyone, Gaelic is one of the hardest languages for English people, to learn, there are sounds that dont correspond to the written language, unusual sounds, gutteral, nasal, silent letters, lentations, different sentence order, gender specific, variable accents and to top that, local names that have no relation to what is on a sign post. The Walking Highlands website has a pronunciation for each mountain, but even the Gaelic speaker on it got this one wrong
Thank you very much
What a beautiful weather, as south european, I have the idea of there are always (or almost) grey skies and totally covered on Great Britain and Scotland. But on your vids is the less frecuent case. It give me desires to visit it. Greetings.
Greetings! Well, I live in the East of Scotland, which has much drier and warmer weather than the West of Scotland (you can grow palm trees on the East Coast apparently). In the West you get much more rainfall overall. That is perhaps where the conception of Scotland as being a grey and rainy country comes from. To be fair, there can be rain all day for multiple days straight and up to multiple weeks. You need to catch a good weather spell. 😉 May, June and August are probably the driest months overall. Small, random showers are actually part of the charm of Scotland, but I understand that rain that lasts all day really limits what one can do. It's a lovely country and definitely worth a visit. 😊
@@OnMistyMountains But I saw another of your vids on West Scotland and still appears often the sun, except on North Ireland, which is beautiful but whether it seems quite cloudy. Where I live there is sun almost all the time, but it is too warm and dry, at 35 degrees at shade, you cannot do many things either.
@@juanbelmonte8920 It's a bit of a gradient, I guess. In East Scotland there is less sun than in your country and in West Scotland there is less sun than in East Scotland. There are many sunny days, but I think people in Scotland would like many more. The temperature is the best part though. The summer was very pleasant this year, between 20° and 25°C on average. 😊 Although, I can struggle to do anything starting from 20°C 😂.
Think there is gold in invergeldie burn, you should take a gold pan with you on your hikes and pan for gold, just subscribed, keep up the good footage, see you on some burn one day, 👍✨✨✨✨
Thank you! I will keep my eyes open for gold next time we're in that area. Who knew? 😂
I found seven grams of gold near loch rannoch in two weeks in june this year. The gold is there, 🌟😁👍
Wow, you're pretty lucky. 😁 I wouldn't mind finding gold, but even more I'd like to find some semi-precious stones.
I was thinking it would be cool to camp up there to see all the different light conditions but all those flying ants makes that a no go.
I was thinking along similar lines ... some kind of hang out with friends whilst camping. It's like a meadow in the sky. The flying ants aren't around in early summer and I think by early autumn they will disappear again. So those might be more appropriate times to camp.
