Video

When I first started checking CZcams videos for munros it was yours that was coming up but you seemed to have stopped. Hope you’re just taking a break as you’ve made some really enjoyable footage. Curved ridge for example was a class watch

Hello. I was a young lad when this awful event happened. Thanks for the upload, was very emotional and respectfully done. God bless them all x.

Douglas, I was a Syracuse student who returned home to the US on the morning flight that day. I lost many people dear to me. I don’t generally comment, but was moved by your reverence and words. Visiting Lockerbie has been one of the most significant parts of my healing process. Thank you for posting.

Watching this 2 days after the 35th anniversary it was so senseless, them young lives had they had a chance to bloom would have been in their 50s which is still young i took a look at the sycacuse university memorial page online and seeing the innocent youth lost to evil just senseless and horrible..my deepest condolences to the families

Douglas, thank you so much for your beautiful, respectful video. I think you honored the victims of this horrific tragedy in a lovely way, by taking us around Lockerbie, and by signing the remembrance book. Every year I remember the souls who were tragically taken in such a heartbreaking manner. Tomorrow will mark 35 years. One day, I hope to visit Lockerbie and remember all the victims. God bless them all, and God bless the people of Lockerbie.

Bless you sweetheart for sharing you experience in total respect. What you went through 30 years ago as young as you were must have been so traumatic. You mentioned it changed your life forever. I am not from the UK but remember hearing about this tragedy in New Zealand at the time feeling such a loss for not only the town of Lockerbie but all the families and friends of all the rescuers and people on the plane, may their souls forever rest in peace. Douglas thank you for keeping this alive for generations understand and so sorry for the long post. Love and hugs from New Zealand. ❤

Was up doing the cairnwell Munros at glenshee a few weeks ago and noticed the cold wind just drained my phone battery and kept saying it was unavailable. You got clear and stunning views though. Just a shame about the wind! 🙈

Wow what a great video Douglas. I’m going up to the Cairngorms at the weekend so hoping to do these two Munros and Ben Macdui and cairngorm. Corrie Fee is just amazing. Thank you so much. I’m just at 13 Munros now and my two beagles have done 10 with me so far. Long way to go though. I found your video both helpful, interesting and inspiring so thank you. Best wishes 🥾🥾🤩

Does this 30 plus years ago, I ain’t a rock climber just a scrambler; I think the camera makes it out worse than it is

I was there last month. It is deeply saddening as it brings back tragic memories of December 1988.

Great video but why can't you show the start point!!

Enjoyed your climb buddy, just wanted to find out why this is a grade 3 as doesn’t look like it. Looks more grade 2-

looks great- how tricky is the final scramble? looks pretty steep from a distance. I walked up and decided to turn right when the path leads to the final bit of the Pap as i am crap with heights.. Climed Sgorr Nam Fiannaidh which is next to it, which also had some scrambling but not as steep (it appeared)

Extremely difficult route with this terminus point!

Glencoe is a beauty - thanks for sharing this Subscribed

What the right all of this air line answer... Can we get what hpnd.... Now i watch yr vdeo.. Im from malaysia.. Rip all victm

My connection,I traveled the carriage way time of the crash the night before.

Anyone notice the freaky face on the hillside of The Cobbler across the glen, just above the forest from 9:00 onwards lol Did this hill in early April 2022, cracking hill with immense views. Brill video, cheers

Great video. I’m doing this Munro in 2 weeks. Hopefully I’ll have the views 👍🏻

You mean the Coire Gabhail - Valley of Capture! Bit difficult to climb up to but hardly 'The Lost Valley!'

Such a terrible tragedy to happen.

To take the time not just to climb this but to film it as well is extremely impressive! Brilliant film👍

This video was excellent, well done to all of you.

I alway's wanted to come to Lockerbie to pay my respects ever since this awful disaster happened and myself and my husband did yesterday 11/08/22 , it was so emotional being there . But so pleased we have , God bless to all of those people who died on that terrible day .

i will go back this september ! too long time i ve not been to Scotland and the Highlands 👍🤩🤩

Well done mate great decision the mountain weather can be very harsh and unpredictable been there myself and made the wrong decisions but got away with it but was with company so much more dangerous when your out solo hiking great move turning back 👍

了不起！勇敢的人。这样陡峭的山，我是不敢攀登的。但是，山顶上的景色确实是十分壮观。Great! A brave man. I dare not climb such a steep mountain. But the view from the top of the mountain is truly spectacular.

Good to see this. Been there many times. Can’t wait to go again! Stunning Glencoe ❤️

Scur nam Gillian Cullen ridge.. or Biden nam Biden glencoe 👌

Thanks for climbing up there Doug! It’s the only way I’ll ever get to experience that route. I had to look away a couple of times, to avert an episode of vertigo! Glencoe is dear to my lowland heart! Driving through the Glen, when much younger. Parking on the A82 car park. Piper at the side of the road. Then some years later, hiking up to the lost valley, and then back down. Then even more years later, parking in the same car park before running and hiking the glens of Glencoe and Bidean Nam Bian. Exploring the pap of Glencoe Sgorr na Ciche, having ingested pancakes laden with special mushroom’s. Enhancing the surroundings even more. Looking forward to returning soon, now that I have a nine year old son, I’ve survived blood cancer, and have a new lease of life, and Glencoe is an extremely special place to me. I feel I must return, and take my boy into the Glencoe. Thanks again Douglas. I admire your fortitude, in ascending that rock by yourself. Fabulous!

Brilliant video. Brought back memories from some 20 years ago or so. We climbed up January jigsaw, a spectacular climb on the Rannock wall, graded severe i think, with spectacular views up to Crowberry tower and climb down via curved ridge to get back to the car park. What a brilliant day that was!,,

Did this today, in the pouring rain and wind. Watching your video to see what the views would have been like if we could see them. Went with a guide with ropes helmets and harness. Terrifying at times. And being 110kg and a bit of a gammy leg from sciatica damage made it a big effort. Did it in 6 hours.

Drove past Buachaille Etive Mor on a road trip in 2019. Such an iconic looking mountain, I had to park up and gaze at it for a while. I love scrambling so hopefully will find myself climbing up there one day soon. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻😊

Doing this tomorrow after Ben ledi

awesome. I did the "tourist" route last year with both munros and tops and it was still a challenge. There was a lot of thick snow at the "overhang" so had to navigate around it. Curved ridge looks pretty terrifying but lots of fun tho haha

Well done.

Nice video Douglas. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful day

Just noticed you have not posted a climbing vid in two years. Funny thing is I had a break too. Only just did a Munro this past sat. ( 19/3/22 ) My first in a long, long time. Hope your keeping well, Miss your cracking climbs. Any updates or thoughts on climbing again ???

Hi Douglas, enjoyed your video as I'm off to climb Stac Pollaidh in a few weeks time. The reason I chose it was to get views of Suilven which is just to far away in boggy land for me to get to and back in a day, as the nearest car park is what 6m away. I should have done it when I was your age. Yes I know Sheila Hancock climbed it in her 80's but I'm sure she was well looked after and probably got a helicopter to the start of the climb 😉 How do the views from the top of Stac Pollaidh compare from the top of Suilven?

Great video from a great hill. One of my favourites. You were actually pointing out Beinn a'Bheithir and not Bidean nam Bian & Beinn Fhionnlaidh though.

Good video thanks for your story. Watching on the 33rd anniversary. I remember the image of the cockpit of the Pan Am 747 plane "Clipper maid of the seas" in the field the most. I was just a kid, watching on the TV. Always stayed with me that image.

Thinking of all those affected by the Lockerbie Air Disaster today on the 33rd anniversary of this senseless murder. Praying for peace and justice, love and hope. X

Respect for all you done

Don't like the look of that eek moment at all ☠️

The nose cone should have been incorporated into a permanent memorial. Definitely a well done video. :)

I lost my father, he was in the plane. I never went to Lockerbie, but I just watched your video, and I think I will. Thank you for everything.

I did it in the summer took about 3 hours to get to the top ,did the one next too it on the right too ,then the sun came out ,thankfully i was on the way down by then ,but lovely views waterfalls etc as you follow a burn back to the road

Thank you Douglas.

Really surprised that you never wear a nice cosy woolly hat 🥺 Saying that if my hair was as perfect and cool as that I’d want to show it off too 😁 Btw i am doing this munro next midweek really looking forward to it like yourself my jaw dropped the 1st time that i seen it whilst travelling on the train from crianlarich to corrour 🚊 ⛰ ❤️

Another brilliant video Douglas thanks for sharing this is on my list ⛰👍
