A quick half day blast up Ben Ledi on a fine (but rare winters day this year). First time I've been up Ben Ledi since the path reopened and the tree felling had taken place here. Last trip was up via Stank Glen a few years ago now. Was a tad breezy n top but the view were magnificent as always on the way up and down! A cracking way to spend a morning in The Trossachs :)

This is one I've admired from a distance, but haven't managed to get up yet. I could have wished you a little more snow on the summit - more like those northern hills you show. The last time I saw BL it was like this - absolutely magical!

Lovely film,as ever, and great to see the views, as well as the trees planted by the kids in 2017. I was up the year before on a very cloudy viewless day, the path was under construction and the trees not yet conceived... Glad you had such a gorgeous - if wind-blasted! - day.
