A Walk Up Ben Ledi (Just One Last Time) 

I like the climb, I like the banter, I like the music, I like Mr Burns. Keep them coming Ed, another fine video.

Absolutely love watching this auld bugger. Top man is Ed👍

I love your music and the chanel, your humour and knowledge ❤

Well done again eddy. I give your vijo,s, narration & music a 10*. They are all a great chill out to me. Being a sportsman I learned long ago it's the most impossible thing on earth to please all and there's always naysayers or doomongers.

Many people seem to ignore the Corbets and focus entirely on the Munroes. It's a crazy way to think because some of the best hills/mountains are well below the Munroe threshold. The "trolls" are getting worse on this platform. I tend to ignore them, sometimes that's easier said than done. You captured some stunning footage up there, especially the sections where you were cutting through the cloud base. It's always a mix of joy and relief when you get to the summit block :-) People need to remember music is subjective. There is no right answer (good or bad) personally I like it 🙂. another great video, hope you're well.

Hi Ed, I am an 87 year old transplanted Weegie living in Montreal. I have been up Ledi, and others, several times and really enjoyed your vid and banter. Your music choice got to my 87 year old soul, thank you .... Peter McCulloch

My goodness, the authenticity simply oozes from this channel. I've only just arrived here and I'm blown away with the depth of the roots that every word, note, pixel, idea and expression appears to grow from. I won't attempt to detail all the instances of what I'm talking about because it would take too long and you either get it or you don't. I'm hitting 57 this year and I'm only now through the recent past coming to value what 'truth' feels like because let's face it, there's so much bullsh1t in the world now that we hardly know whether we're coming or going with what we're persuaded we need to accept. The music hits hard. I love prog and I love rooted British music and while I'm not Scottish, I can sense that any natural expression that comes out of the island of Great Britain is worth a billion of whatever we're served up by the interlopers who are attempting to separate us from our origins with lies and propaganda via the poison of the mainstream popular narrative. Whether you agree with this diatribe or not, Ed, I'll just say I have really enjoyed the couple of videos I'm seen so far and I'm looking forward to checking out a few more when I manage to get off the treadmill. Sod the detractors. This is great stuff.

Well, eddy climbs Ben Ledi; well-done eddy. Those were stunning views.

Just started watching Ed last week. I’m addicted . Genuine laugh out loud moments , lovely scenery , some history and affable company , what more could a woman ask for. The comment in the fife coast walk about vegetarians “ you’d think they’d eat something you could pronounce , like turnip” had me guffawing for ages. Keep up the good work Ed. Might see you on my travels.

Have. Been up Ben Ledi, it was a long time ago, tremendous outlook. 👍

A hike I’ll never do but can do thanks to YOUR video ❤️👏

I have watched your video's for a while now and loved every one. your a fine figure of a man for your age Ed.. to walk up mountains and video these wonderful views is outstanding. The music you do is truly unique with a great Scots accent .I love your humour... your chats, the pies... nothing is crap about you...Negitive people are to be pitied as they have a mental health disorder. You be you and give them idiots not a second thought... big hug...Lyn

Hi Ed , a bit of a hoof....your voice reminds of the singer of my icon band.... Bill Nelson.

Another enjoyable video,thanks for sharing Ed 😁

Eddy, ignore the haters. I loved this walk, it was the atmospheric mist/cloud, beautiful colours of the hills and those views. You are very lucky to have wonderful walks like that so close to you. I always try to guess what type of pie you are going to have... didn't get it right this time. Loved the knees talking.

I love your videos Ed. Fellow Partick punter that I am I saw you in the street a while ago and had to stop myself from coming up to say hello! We’ve went on several trips inspired by your adventures. Keep it up!! If I ever see you in the pub I’ll buy you a not overly frosted pint!

Spectacular scenery Eddy 🇦🇺👍🏻🇦🇺

Unfortunately Trolls are what they are. Rise above ‘em Ed & give not one toss. You do a great job and bring a simple joy to many people who have found your videos, like myself & I tell friends about your channel. It’s all good. Enjoyed this video as it’s been 24 years since I climbed Ben Ledi the day after my Son was born. I remember the steepness early on in the walk but found it easier heading to the summit on the final sections. Then again, it was a summers day & I had my dog with me. Keep up the great work Sir 🫡🫡🫡

Thank you 🇺🇸

I agree with your kneess...I like the hike and the views. Stunning video! My oh my, would love to visit Scotland again. Thank you for sharing this video.

For every "critic" out there telling you you're wrong, there are 3.35K of us telling you you're right. Stay the course. We're with you Ed and we've got your back.

That was great, thanks. Love the monologues ; Billy Connolly of the mountains 😀. I'm planning to climb Ben Ledi next week and, as I'm an old guy also, you've given me some hope. Best wishes.

Definitely Not Crap. Enjoyed all the elements you put into this video. Of course you can't lay claim for the Beauty but you can't win them all. 👀

Mate, the music is spot on. Appreciate the hell out of the effort, time, talent and ability involved. Ignore the haters, they're everywhere sadly

Well Eddy you’ve really outdone yourself with this video. I my goodness, a very nice, but hard, walk for amazing views. You never disappoint me. As far as “one last time” lists of things you love to do, I don’t have but a couple years to go so keep your hat on laddie, your giving me joy and happiness. That’s something to remember for all of us. 😊

Really enjoyed the music, I'm a big Blackmore fan, this has Blackmore/Rainbow vibe to it, good song writing 🥁 🎸 🎹 🎤

Wow again. I always feel as if I'm on these journeys with you Ed, and felt as if I'd climbed up Ben Ledi myself! Years ago I climbed a hill above Loch Lomond which was covered in deep snow, and it was one thing getting up there, but terrifying coming back down again. (I was with a friend so it wasn't too bad.) Never again though. So I understand why you avoid snow-covered hills. I think you managed to convey something of the sense of a 'divine presence' at the top of Ben Ledi. Quite stunning. Your technical skill in filming yourself gets more and more impressive. The sound from just the camera is just great. Apart from the technical side of it all, what brings us back again and again to your films, is your anecdotes and jokes, which are always funny and heert-warming. Then on top of your open, warm personality, you give us a recording of a very moving song, sung and recorded by you. In one of the other videos (about your guitars), I picked up that you greatly admired the late Lesie West, of the American band Mountain. I must admit I'd not been aware of his playing until then. When I listened to 'Theme for an Imaginary Western' from 1988, live at the Hammersmith Odeon, I was blown away with his guitar work. Easy to see where David Gilmour may have found an influence. Anyway - I can hear the influence, perhaps, of Leslie's playing in your own guitar work. And I LOVE the song. That IS the question -> will we be remembered ?

Your doin ok Ed iv watched a few of your videos I’m from fife but now live in Perth Australia since 19-75 but have been back a few times to see the family we walked a few hills when we were there Fresh air keeps you fit good views enjoyed it

Keep it up love these videos 👍🏻 it’s nice to see the perspective of an older Scotsman,as I am 😅 all the best

Thank you for your work Ed!

Well done Ed. Great vlog again

Making videos isn't easy. Your critics are clueless. Wonderful scenes again, and that lead guitar is excellent. Good job.

I like your music taste I remember this was my first winter hillwalking in Scotland on this particular hill Freezing and windy but we managed and slide down on bum hahaha on some upper parts hahahaha Your knowledge is impressive please keep going! 💙💙💙 All the best from Glasgow

Well Eddy you made Ledi look easy and the last time a was up it wisnae fur me although as you’re well aware it’s the doin it that makes it, as is the way life itself transpires. An honest film by an honest guy out doin his stuff and taking us along for the ride. Ye appear fit enough tae go for a good while yet and a hope ye do! Your music is apt and heartfelt which can only benefit your films. Cheers Eddy. 🏔🙏👍

Thanks for video, I'm a local and should do more hillwalking 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Excellent video and channel. Well done! Stumbled upon your channel as I'm currently thinking about moving to the Callander area. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work, cheers

Great job, loved the video, from an old guy who cant climb the hills no more 😿🤓

Great video thank you 👍

Eddie don't let the comments get tae ye pal. Keep up the good work.

Good Wee Video there Eddy, I find your videos mostly very interesting. In addition, there is nothing wrong with the music to your videos, Clearly some folk are of low intelligence to actually realise what your video's are all about. I will be honest not all are of my liking but most are, fair play to you mate for doing them & keep it up, Ben Ledi is on my to do list. Well done and all the best

A great video with spectacular views! I've not climbed Ben Ledi. I'm hoping to climb the nearby Ben Gullipen at some point. Its smaller but the views are supposed to be spectacular. Keep up the good work. 👍

Enjoy that

Great video Ed nice day for your last ramble on Ben ledi nothing wrong with the song either you never claimed to be Midge Ure 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 take care

It takes a lot of bravery to put out something you’ve created into the world. Just remember that idiots are the minority. Loving your vids as always Eddy. Going to have to give this walk a go, such a stunning day for it as you said. Great guitar solo at the end :)

Another absolutely beautiful video. Loch Lubnaig is probably my most favourite of the Lochs I've seen, and Ben Ledi is always a welcome sight. Can't say your videos or music is ever disappointing - we love every video. Cheers again, Ed.

WOW!!!!! What views up Ben ledi . I enjoy all your videos and music and even found your music on Spotify Keep up the good work ed

That view at 3min..... Absolutely stunning, one of your best!! 🍺👍🏻

Fab video yet again Ed. Love ben ledi, its good fun coming down it on a mountain bike. I used to have a youtube channel and founf being very nice to the keyboard warriors and trolls was great fun as it infuriated them, I like some of your music, not all, but i certainly wouldnt call it crap. i know how much time and effort goes into wroting and recording and i appreciate that hugely. keep up the good work. Cheers!

I enjoyed that …….. no explanation neede

Hi Ed, thank you for showing me and my wife what it looks like at the top of Ben Ledi, we've spent a lot of time walking and cycling in the area when we had our caravan on a seasonal pitch in Callander and Aberfoyle, but never ventured up Ben Ledi. The pies are amazing from the bakers on the left as you come from the Stirling side, steak and black pudding was my favourite, and The Old Bank across the road from the baker did a very nice meal, they always had a roaring fire going on the cold days.

Another great video ed. you are a natural in front of the camera and do a great job producing the videos incorporating great music. In my opinion this channel is criminally underated but its a hidden gem! I climbed ben nevis in sep with colleagues from work. I could feel it in my legs for a few days after! Dont worry about the trolls. I just ignore them. It must be a sad life talking negatively about other peoples hard work! I bought a new motorbike a couple of weeks ago and posted on a forum about it. 99% of comments were nice but its always the 1% who are nasty and jealous. Keep up the good work eddy👍

Nice vlog Ed, nice song at the end, beautiful area. By the time you come back to collect your camera it must be like climbing the mountain twice, lol. I’ve passed the mountain many times but never walked up it. Next time we’re on holiday in that area we’ll go up. Thanks for the inspiration. Ian and Angie.

Scotland looks great even in the mist or low cloud 14:05

Hi there Ed. As I have said before, I'm quite impressed to see your music production skills improving and improving. First tune of yours I have heard with vocals. Here's a constructive compliment then: maybe use less quantization, especially on the drums. Most of the times I map the drum sounds to my keyboard and record them manually (usually Ï play in a large long loop and select a few bars I like most). Then zoom in to make manual corrections i.e. selection the kick drum sounds and using 75% quantization on that or move them around manually. Alternatively you could use what is called in the DAW I use, Propellerhead Reason, a ReGroove channel, in which you can set a "swing" pattern and the amount of moving the actual MIDI notes to this set swing. You can then tell various sequencer tracks to assign to this groove or not. Hope this helps! Great song structure and chord progression overall man. Kind regards from The Netherlands.

I just fell into your video here (just sub & 👍)...I'm with you on the biological physical clock... I like your cander and honesty. I'm with you on your 'comment' speak. I ignore the negatives and like you I do what I do for me. Love the learning of equipment and post processing too. Coffee with Tunnock's caramel wafer is my regular when at my destination (I actually did have 2 pork pies and broon sauce🥴). My kind of atmospheric music, my kind of enjoyment. Infact you have encouraged me to do this walk✅ dodgy knees with steps ... yep that's me too

Great video. The guy you mentioned who doesn't like the music is a bam 🙂. Do you have a videographer or do you have to keep going back for your camera? That sounds like hard work. You're an inspiration to us oldies. Thanks

good vid and music, chanter good too lol, is there a caravan site near the base of Ben Ledi? ,looks like a good climb and popular one at that

Eddy unfortunately I guess u need to take the positive with the bad in terms of social media ..in my opinion for what it’s worth the content is brilliant…superb 👍

Another great wee video Eddy, but you’re still a youngster, I could imagine you could even camp out up there 😀and not really feel it.

Been a while since I've been out that way, so good to see the area again. Just curious though, are you not a fan of walking poles? I need them for the descent, as my knees can act up a bit, and they really make a huge difference. Just wanted to say, another wee belter of a video. I always watch your vids, though I don't normally comment on anything. But appreciate what you do, and the time you put into creating nice wee songs. You keep on giein it laldy, and tae hell with the haters! Lots of us like what you do, and look forward to seeing what you upload!

Always like to see where you've been. The photography and descriptions are great. In this video you comment on the views of people who react in a negative way. Quite often I click on something made by young people. I call it the jangly music and I suppose it puts me off. The content of what you do and the ground you cover is much more important. Some folk are just rude and we never know what they want. 🤔.. Don't let them in... Music is a very personal choice 🎶🤔 OK so no need for the big opinions.. Over your head it goes 🤪

Your efforts are appreciated. My computer has a volume control, if "crap" enters the video. I hope your list is long and has few, if any "Just One Last Time" entries. Thanks as always.

Great video Ed. Ignore the stupid comments! Although I’m sure you do anyway 👍

Whenever we visit callander I try get my family to walk this with me, every time, they say no! Selfish AF 😂

Pies on me 👍

Did you walk from callander to get up the mountain I don't drive and quite fancy heading up the mountain

'the fun of joe public' & 'a lota buttur even' lol - classics

thay might say its crap eddy but its youre crap mate you put in the effort to make that music and edit these videos

Great video and music Eddie. Ben Ledi is lovely-your video brought back great memories.
