A Dam Good View | Ben Vorlich (Loch Lomond) | Munro Bagging

We decided to take full advantage of what could easily be the best walking conditions of the year with a short journey to Loch Lomond to climb Ben Vorlich. It was a much shorter walk than some of our previous outtings however rivalled any of them in terms of views. Make sure to watch to the end to get a taste of the spectacular vista over Loch Lomond.

    Hi Liz, glad you enjoyed the video! Thankfully it was one of those calm days where you can fly the drone at the summit 😃 -Douglas

    Thanks Craig. I think a lot of the verges have been coned off now so it’s limited to the actual car park now. Definitely a busy one at the weekends. Hope you enjoy the walk!

    Nice one lads, Ben Vorlich was my first Munro, been up it twice now and camp on it the last time . Out of the Arrochar Munros Ben Vorlich has best view of the Loch . Cheers Stevie

    Thanks Stevie. It’s certainly the best trip we’ve had on the Arrochar Alps. Would be an amazing place to camp as well I think, hope you got a great sunset/sunrise from up there.

    Thanks Marco. No scrambling on this one, just a fairly steep walk up from the access road to the summit. Hope you have a great hike!

    Just discovered you guys and loving the videos!!My son and I intended to do Vorlich last year but ended up taking the track that swings up right,away from the main one and ended up scrambling to the top of the mountain which has the pipes running down to the station!!Do you know the name of that one,I have never found out as yet?

    Thanks for watching William. It sounds like you took an alternative route to the top of Ben Vorlich. If you went straight up the hill next to the pipes then that eventually takes you to Vorlich’s summit.

    Hi there. It was the DJI Mavic 2 Pro for this video, but we are now using the DJI Mini 2 since January. Not quite as many features as the pro, but much more portable!
