Wow - what can I say - simply awesome!! I would definitely pay to watch your videos....! I don't know what your 'day job' is but you should think about doing this instead as you do an amazing job at it. The choice of music is always fab - and Caledonia is one of my all time favourites.....guaranteed to make me cry every time !! Looks like you had the best day ever on the ben. I did the same route in April last year (and it was in Trail magazine) and we had similar conditions. I had been avoiding doing it as I didn't want to join crowds but when we did it there was hardly anyone there and it was amazing. Thankyou so much for posting this, and taking the time to make it a shared experience. It is truly appreciated :clap:

Brilliant photos and video! Congratulations. That video must have taken ages to produce - it's so well done with lots of different kinds of shots and the titles and music etc. It takes us months to produce a website and report with just still photos on it - don't know how you do it!

Thanks for posting it - we really enjoyed the video, and we don't normally look at videos much: this one was breathtaking. We'll keep an eye out for more of yours!

All the best,

Daniel and Clare (Torridon_snails)

This walk report is fantastic, don't watch a lot of the videos on here as i never have the time(and work computer has no sound) glad i took the time to look at this one, absolutely brilliant.
I know you have probably been asked this question a million times but what do you shoot your video with?
:clap:

Thanks heather - I do sometimes wonder about my music choices in the ids as not always to everyone's taste - glad one person approves though :)

Think I!ll stick to my day job for the time being though :wink:

A stunning report there with some real talent and improvision into filming that I would have no idea about how to set up and arrange. Well done and thank you for sharing, we walked the exact same route last May; the only difference being the winter conditions :D :D :clap:
