- You don't need to head up MASSIVE munros in order to get the best views, as this modest wee Cairngorm lump shows. So come and take a relaxed evening stroll over a freakishly dry and crispy hill as the drought takes hold, and learn about woodland regeneration along the way :)
I must have missed the original post but thankfully it popped up this morning. 29.8.18. Such a great video to watch after work, whilst considering a trip up to that very area. I’ve been all over these places but not up this particular hill. Great blether and so good to see the hills in such beautiful light. Thanks Ben and good luck in the job.
Yeah poor wee Creag Bhlag is oft overlooked ;-)
Great man, U really having some great time and ur sharings of these videos do also give our mind some relieve from city headaches.
keep on posting ur good work. Love all the way from Abi Dhabi
Cheers and thanks for watching :)
Congratulations on the new job, I think they can regard themselves lucky to have someone as passionate as you.
As for the drought, we hiked in the vicinity last week and while there had been a bit of rain, the damage as a result of the drought strikes me.
Fortunately you got some rain now and then, in the Netherlands we're still counting. 7-8 weeks of no rain and a 3-week heatwave incoming.
Usually we get our rain from you guys, but now...
Has it rained yet??
Enjoyed your commentary on that Ben, and seriously will anyone ever post a vlog nearly 40 minutes long on Creag Bhalg again? You've done this wee hill justice. 👍🏼
I never knew about the Swiss brothers and the plans for all the roads. Thankfully that didn't happen.
Kev and I done Creag Bhalg last winter from Beinn Bhreac and it was probably the most energy sapping soggy plod we've ever experienced in the Cairngorms. We did note all the new saplings coming too, encouraging to see.
Ha ha! Yeah 40 mins is probably excessive but I've given up trying to cut things down much less than that if I've still got stuff to say ;-) I imagine it would be VERY boggy off that summit path in normal summer weather.
Very interesting about the ski resort. Been there a dozen time and had no idea.
Every day's a school day ;-) The concrete plinths for the tows are still there.
Congratulations on the new job ben.what a great place to work 👍.bet it has been pretty hot up there recently
Nice and cool now though ;-) Got down to -2C last week!
Ben" This is my new office" Me" Aye ok dont rub it in"!! ha ha ha!! Well done you, That was a great film to watch. At 16:04 that is one of the best views ive seen up there, Stunning shot Ben!!! This is a great film Ben, Glad to see you are enjoying your job :)) Take care, peter.
Thanks as ever!
Glad you now have a new job - thanks for all the blogs!
Cheers Garth :)
Congratulations on your new job Ben it sounds perfect for you. That was a great walk you just took us all on thank you. I was up in Scotland during May and it was so nice we only had our waterproofs on on one of the days for rain! Crazy mind with this hot dry spell continuing like it is we are now getting desperate for some rain. I love to see the regeneraion of all the trees etc... I have watched it develop over on the Creag Meagaidh reserve for the last 20yrs and it is great to see how it is changing.
Thanks Ben ;D Teddy
Yeah Creag Meagaidh have a bit of a head start. Can you believe CM estate was going to be planted with sitka plantations before it became a nature reserve!?
That would have been horrid ! I am so glad it became a nature reserve, it is one of my favourite places to walk :D
Stunning views in this one and a complete opposite video from Blethering Ben 101. As always very informative. Thanksfor posting! All the best with the new job.
Thanks v much!
Top stuff Ben. My fav part of Scotland
Ogh I'd have sooo many things to comment on this one! Aaa.. well just this: congrats on the new job! Looks like a place to grow fond of😊thanks man for taking us on a tour.
Cheers!
We're all missing the hills during lockdown, but I'm really missing the chats on the walks now.
Yeah, that's the massive loss that walking groups like the Ramblers in particular will be experiencing just now. For so many people, it's more of a social thing that a fitness thing, so that loss will be felt massively.
Wow""" Thanks Ben!!! Stunning Tc
Ohh wow Many Congratulations"" On the new appointment!! Awesome Dude Tc
Cheers Tony!
This is a form of lockdown torture lol.
I don't think I could watch it for that very reason ;-)

Nice one ben 👍 can we have a mountain wild camp video please 😁
Hopefully at some point. Just don't have the time any more it seems :(
