In this video, I take on a 12 miles route up Ben Vane, one of the Arrochar Alps. An epic day of mountain walking. Some fantastic views to be had on what was a challenging route with many false summits along the way

I hate false summits! 😉 Looks like a great climb though. Breathtaking as you way, in more then one way I guess! 😉 The view was great and more then worth the climb! Have a great Sunday! Kaat

A cracking looking mountain that Anthony.....full of rocky knobbles. The false summits looked like spirit breakers though. 🤔

Certainly was Chris. If the weather was bad, I think those false summits may have tested the resolve. The legs felt tired after this one that’s for sure

Be back later or tomorrow Anthony, have a Zoom call and pizza clash 🤔 🍕 catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ☕️ ❤️ 🗺 👍

Wow, what views and what a climb. It’s rugged up there but well worth the effort. I can understand why you like hiking in Scotland so much. The only trouble can be the weather. Thanks Anthony, really enjoyable

I was very lucky with the weather Kelly. Not sure I’d have enjoyed that one in bad weather conditions. I’m off to the Lakes soon so I’m sure the weather gods there will get their own back on me! Thanks for watching

Good morning Mr Johnson 😊 happy Monday 👍 what a spectacular climb up, steep and steep, the views keep you powered 🔋 💚⛰️ False summits are heart breaking 💔 keep pushing guys! 💪 Incredible view's, ideal conditions to be up high 👏 another false summit, doh! 🪨 Sadly the only mountain I'm climbing today it mount email 📧 boo! Although you are keeping me company, yay 🥰 loving this one, thank you guys! Have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕️ ❤️ 🗺 👍

Good morning Ceri and Kat. Yes, I think this must have been the mountain with the most false summits. Not so bad in good weather, but must test the resolve when the weather is bad! The views were worth it on this one though. Stunning 🤩. Have a great week guys 🙂👍💚

Hi Anthony, what a week you had up in Scotland, looked a tough walk but the views immense, bet you didnt leave any food on your plates later, thanks for taking us along cheers nigel

Thanks for watching Nigel. I had a big steak for food that evening from memory. All those false summits gave me a big appetite!

Did this one yesterday,a lot tougher than I thought it would be especially the descent

Yes, its quite deceptive with a lot of false summits!

Looked like hard work Ant, worth it though, for the spectacular views. Hope you made the restaurant reservation in time.

@AnthonyJohnson1 Жыл бұрын

We were about 45 minutes late for the restaurant, but they still took pity on us and fed us both 😆

Just caught up with this one Anthony. Great to see another Scottish video. Love it up there. I see you picked up the lingo. I was on EBC with a group of Scottish ladies and I picked up a few words from them. Mainly curse words ha ha. Look forward to the next one. Hope you’re keeping well. 😊👍

Hi Rob. Many congratulations on completing EBC. Loved seeing your photos as you went through the adventure. Hoping you’ve got a few videos to share as i bet they will be epic

What absolutely fantastic views on this one Anthony, with a beautifully clear day thrown in for good measure. Congratulations on topping out on another Monro, the decent certainly looked like a challenging after all that effort of reaching the top. I hope you made it for your dinner reservation. A meal at the end of a good days hiking always feels even more enjoyable. Thanks for another great video.

Thanks Tony. We had a fab time in Scotland. We did make the restaurant, but 45 minutes late 🙈. We did get fed though 😂

Great wee adventure Anthony! I was wondering why you didn’t drive round to inveruglas and save loads of miles walking? It’s one of the hardest wee Munros around and those false summits can be soul destroying. I have been up this Munro more than any other around 6 times. One of my first videos was this hill in full winter conditions and it was great fun! A wee toughie and a great wee watch! Cheers for sharing! Paul

@AnthonyJohnson1 Жыл бұрын

I can see why you enjoy this Munro Paul. It’s a great challenge. I remember seeing your video which inspired me to give it a go. Yes, parking closer would have been a good idea but we like to leave the car and walk from the door wherever possible. It was a nice walk over from Arrochar, but definitely a long one 😰

@solitaryrambler Жыл бұрын

Don't you just hate false summits Anthony?! 😂 I remember that feeling some years back on several walks in Snowdonia! As you say though, breathtaking, spectacular, very appropriate words for the scenery you captured here. You've done some great walks and climbs during your stay in Scotland. You certainly earned your food that evening, as well as Simon earning his beer he was rushing to get! 😅

@AnthonyJohnson1 Жыл бұрын

Thanks Patrick. I loved my time in Scotland. So fortunate with the weather as we got to enjoy some amazing views. The false summits were a bit of a pain though, but it all to the adventure
