Ben Nevis Ledge Route 4th September 2016 

Thank you 👍

Cheers Jim . I really enjoy Damons' vids , no frills and a great guide . Really useful when visiting a place for the first time and a couple of his vids had me feeling nervous for him , great stuff. Ledge Route was worth the four days spent at the tent afterwards and the views of Snowdonia from it helped . It was the drive that killed me ! Cheers . Austin .

Such a long drive from Hant's, still like i said fair play doing Ben Nevis is tough when your well. The one for me, of Damon's is Tower Ridge, prob watched that ten time's, tried to kid myself i could do it, but after my scare on Scafell this summer i'm going to keep it real, but the Ledge route i should manage. Cheer's. Jim.

Cheers Scott so am i . It wasn't too bad at the time , but boy , was i shattered. It just made me soooo slow . Definitely get yourselves to Scotland , it would be brilliant with Florence , the hardest bit would be deciding which stunning viewpoint to spend the night at . In a warm camper you could dodge the midge season as well . Planning an overnighter in the Black Mountains at the end of the month if you fancy it , we need to get used to the colder nights in time for winter : ) Austin + Lucy

Dodging the midge season is what i'm hoping for :-) Off to the Black Mountains this weekend in Florence but was also planning a overnight camp there. Would defo be up for meeting up. Let me know when your going and we can make a plan :-) Scott

Thank you. Marley was an amazing boy , miss him every day .

Ah man , he was the best , miss him every minute 😞

@@2FeetForward I’m sure he’s gave u some amazing memories mate at least you have some videos you can look at with a smile 👌

Cheers Eddie . Yeah , i think i would have to if i was that close , It nearly killed me . Bloody rain followed us to Wales as well . Good chance your gonna get wet on the RR mate but i guess not to would be a miracle . All the best for your week and look forward to watching it !

Excellent thank you 👍

Can’t recommend this route enough 👍

Thank you 👍

Thank you, yes Marley was always upset when we split up but he’d forget 10 seconds round the first corner lol . Definitely agree , sometimes we can all have our cake and eat it 👍

Thanks John , i guess not for everyone this one but it was a great day . I hope to be back this winter . Atb -Austin

Thanks. You did it in half the time i did it in then.

Thank you James , Hope you enjoyed your day . I must admit though , i think the tourist route is equally as demanding physically as it seems so much longer than Ledge Route . Either way it's still great to be the highest in the country ! Atb - Austin

Took me about three and a half hours to go up and just a bit under that to come down, thanks mate

Thanks guys, yeah it's a heck of a drive but worth it and that route had to be done . I sure paid for it for a few days though : ( Just watched your latest , now that's what i call a wild camp! Enjoy the weekend - Austin

Thanks Steve , i suffered in the days following but it was worth it . Atb -Austin

Cheers Philip , i felt like i'd just been kicked somewhere afterwards : ) Atb - Austin

Thanks for watching .

Thanks Andy . It nearly killed me but it was worth every wheeze . It's quite a memorial that , really striking and such a stunning location . Very fitting .

Cheers David , Lucy said he whined for the next 10 minutes ! it 's a stunning place that's for sure . I had no idea about that lads recent accident , just Googled it myself , so sad . A young couple got caught in an avalanche there last winter unfortunately. This route is only a grade 1 scramble so nothing too bad if your ok with heights , as usual the gopros' wide angle makes it look worse than it is . There is a stunning video of this route in winter , filmed with a drone by a guy called Rob Johnson that's worth a look .ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UPwA6p1r9uY.html

2 Feet Forward Watching it now as well as Ben Nevis' videos you recommended! Awesome stuff!

Thanks Jason , more poignant today as well . The Garmin is my old Oregon 400t and has never let me down even after being slung down various mountains on my mtb .This model didn't even come with O.S mapping (an extra £200 to upgrade now) . I know the current models have O.S maps and only cost £300 so i think a new one is on the cards soon. Atb -Austin

Thanks for the reply, myself and my partner have decided to get into hiking after a trip up Snowdon (pyg track) so I've been watching videos to get some tips and yours are up there with the best of them. Cheers J

Ok fair enough !
