I watched this beforehand and did the very same route yesterday. That scramble to the top ain't for the faint hearted 😂 I'm glad I've done it but to be so close to the edge and for how steep it is climbing those rocks, oooftt! I didnt expect that 🙈 Great video!
Thanks for the video. Good info for me planning it. You seem like a great lad too which always helps when watching these videos. A lot of nonsense out there. Take it easy
I just used my google maps and it was very easy, but a big tip would be to try and do it on a less busy day, because you might get turned away from the car park because its too full, and it would just be very annoying getting turned away, and i would take the anti-clockwise route if you havent climbed much, because the other side is steep, but has nicer views
Great video. Really informative. I'll be doing ben lomond soon so it's helped me decide to take steep route first. Just stumbled upon your channel so will start viewing your other videos 💗🥾. I liked the music 🎶
Great video. I just have some questions, if you could answer would be great. - how far is this from Glasgow by car? - are trainers and warm clothes suffice or do we need actual hiking boots? Thanks!
Hi zen, it is roughly 30 minutes from Glasgow, and if you stick to the gentle slope side you should be okay without hiking boots, but i would wear double socks and bring blister patches just to be safe. And because its summer you should be alright if its clear skies, but if there is any chance of bad weather id bring spare clothes in a rucksack to be safe :)
No bus transport to start, but you can access via a summer ferry from Tarbet Pier across the loch; there are buses to Tarbet from Glasgow and Balloch. Hope this helps
I agree i know for a fact the Fit Bits over estimate burned calories, but that is from the entire today so you have to take into account maintenance calories also. I would say for the full day it would be more like 3,500-4,500 kcals
The music u put in your vids do not suit this kind of video u need to change it, to bagpipes or mote relaxing music, u dont need to put music through out the whole vid, it gets annoying, there is no shame on doing it on your own, u dont have to always get your mates to climb with u
Thanks for the feedback matt, appreciate it, if you look on my more recent vids i have included more relaxing music, and i really enjoy the social aspect off hillwalking
@@DanMunroMan oh ok, I like it when people in scotlsnd out in bagpipe music, ohh have u ever tried it on your own? I find so much more peaceful and relaxing

Great video. What's that 3D map app or software you use?
Thank you! And that is relive! Its really good
Cheers, I'll give it a try. Looking to add something extra to my videos. Is that what you use to edit your videos as well?

Did you save the route you did. Would be good to see it
Thankyou! Yeah ben lomond is such a good one, and what do you mean saved it? I have it saved on Relive which is the app i use??

@@DanMunroMan no problem. Enjoy your adventures
Why you got the loch Ness monster in loch Lomond? 🤔
Hahahahahaha yes i realised after i done the thumbnail lol! Total muppet😂
Great video.
I just have some questions, if you could answer would be great.

@@DanMunroMan perfect thanks!
How do you get there using public transport?
Where will you be coming from?
Hi, is there any public transport from Glasgow to the Ben Lomond hiking starting point?
No bus transport to start, but you can access via a summer ferry from Tarbet Pier across the loch; there are buses to Tarbet from Glasgow and Balloch. Hope this helps
nessie aint in loch lomond pal
youngboy made a song about this yb better
I think this is the wrong ben lomond
@@RichaceNC u might be right 🤣
5000 calories, doesn't seem right, probably half that...

LoL

@@matthewboothman129 We don’t all listen to bagpipe music ffs, Lol.
@@scottconnor8867 no but the music he played on this vid does not suit this type of video
