Thanks, Andrew.Yeah, glad to finally get these 2 done at a 2nd attempt for me.I wouldn't say the are difficult ones it's just a long day and a hard slog from whichever way you come in to the Hostel to start the ascent for them.😀👍

Thanks D and L.😃👍 Just never fancied the slog up the Great Stone Shoot.🤣Tried to do along with Dubh Mhor and Eag a few years ago but strained my leg and dropped back in Ghrunnda.Always wanted to see the Bivi Cave and i'm so glad I went back in this way.😃👍

@@AndyOB… Hi, we’ll definitely bivvy in the cave. Take our time and enjoy. We once tried to do The Eag.. lol… we failed. Weather wasn’t good so went back. Your video has lit a spark again though. Thanks mate, and all the best. D&L 😁🙏

Thanks Kev.I thought the 12 Mullardoch round over a few days camping would be ur way to get them kev?😀Met a guy who was going round with all his gear.

​@@AndyOBHaha aye I'll maybe break them up in separate trips & camp them. Aw 12 oan a camping trip wid probably break me. 😂

Hey Andrew,Glen Affric is stunning.Really remote feeling to them and a lot of big days involved in getting the ones here.Tom a' Chòinich & Toll Creagach is probably the easiest ones to get and were my first up here.😃👍

Hey Ally, the cycle in to the Youth Hostel took me 1hr 11mins.When i came in to do these in August, I never made it all the way and ditched my bike with about 2 km to the hostel as i was struggling and walked the rest.Only managed 1Munro that day (An Socach).First time on an e bike and what a difference it made.😃

@AndyOB that's good andy not bad then just over the hour on the bike, I've been using the bike a lot been loving it .Atb Ally 👍

Thanks Barrie,it waz my 2nd attempt at this route only managing 1 back in August.Great day weather wise once the cloud lifted.😃👍

Lol,thanks Frank.Glad u enjoyed it.😃👍

Thanks Paul.First time on a e-bike and what a difference.🤣🤣👍 My 1st attempt at this route was a disaster due to being exhausted after the cycle and only managed An Socach.See heading back out and driving down the road that day knowing fully that I have to go back in there ,it was awful.😱 1hr 10 mins to get to the hostel this time and was buzzing for the walk ahead.Only 1 more bike/Hike left for me now at Poolewe.😃👍

@@AndyOB nice one! So much easier on the e-bike! I think one more option to use the bike for me is Glen Affric too! After that there’s not much left on this round 🥴🥴🥴

Thanks, Frank.Some difference with me hiring an e-bike.🤣👍 I was gubbed last time I tried this route and flung my bike in a bush just after the West Affric signed bridge and walked the rest to the Hostel.🤣🤣Done the cycle in 1 hour 11 mins and was off the bike just for the push up over the bridge at Strawberry cottage and walked up the hill after it. Drove up Friday after work Started from Car Park at 5.30 am. 11 hrs 49 mins car to car. Drove down the road via Fort Bill and home for about 11.15pm Saturday night.😎👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

First time on a E-Bike Tam and what a difference.Last time I was in here I ditched the bike well before the Hostel as I found the track energy sapping.Only done An Socach that day as my legs were gubbed.Done the whole cycle with ease on this bike.1 hr 10 mins on the way in and I think I was even faster on the way out with 1 hr 5mins.🤣🤣👍

Brilliant Andy. I've just got myself one thought the cycle to work scheme, can't wait to give it a go 😀

Thanks Billy.Glad to get these 2 done.😃👍

Thanks Ally.😀👍 This one was turning into my Nemisis🤣🤣 so glad to get it done on the 3rd attempt.Just 1 more left on Skye for me now (Am Basteir)

Thanks for ur nice comment Marco.Glad u enjoyed the video.I've always put my videos up as a keepsake memory for myself of a day out.If a fellow hiker gets a help from it on the route that's even better.Never been one to advertise my channel or ask folk to like and subcribe.Always nice to get a comment like this.😀👍

Most of the track up to Loch Pattack is a very good conditioned gravel road.It's only when you cut over to the bothy it gets a bit rough and muddy for a couple of km's.

Thanks Gabby.😃xx

Thanks Frank.Always extra cautious when on the mountains in Skye.😃👍

Thanks Paul.Yeah the wind picked up when I reached the chimmney,so it put the heart rate upto the summit and the downlicmb to the top of ghe chute lol.😱 12 to go now.In no rush and will wait for decent weather forecasts.😃👍

Thanks Andrew.Been waiting a few weeks for a good weekend weather report.😃👍

Thanks Andrew.,great day.The wind made me a wee bit nervy on the summit hence why I dropped down to the top of the chute afore the "Brucie'.😂😂 Did not fancy going up that chute at all and I'm glad I didn't.Still got a bit of fear after my foot injury so even sliding down it was a bit uncomfortable.😱😱 Scramble was good but it can be quite airy going up the chimney and just above it.😃👍

I knew there was a scree path directly under the T.D. GAP and a chimney to climb before a scramble to the summit.Most guides would take you this way if you were doing Sgurr nan Eag,Sgurr Dubh Mor and Sgurr Alasdair together.😃👍

Yeah Billy...wind made it a wee bit squeaky bum on top.🤣🤣 Had tunes for it,but when I put them on the vid i wasn't getting the vibe so took them off.Couldn't be bothered searching for anymore.🤣👍

Thanks pal.What a day out there.😎👍

Lol,thanks Frank.3rd attempt for this fecker so glad to have it done.Took a still from ur vid of the chimney so I didnae go up the wrong one.🤣🤣 Did not enjoy the stone chute....still a bit para about my foot so was just glad to get down it.Would not like to go up that way it's that loose. Another trip for Am Basteir now😎👍

Thanks Tam.Yeah the wind made it a bit squeaky bum trying to get down to the top of the chute.Fantastic day for it.Been waiting a while for a good weekend weather report to go over.😁👍

Thank you.Glad you enjoyed it.😁👍

Thanks Andy.Weather was spot on.Started to get a bit blowey when I popped out the chimney climb😱😱Glad I went back in this way to get to see the Bivi cave and do the scramble up rather than ascending/descending the Great Stone Shoot.If the weather was better I would of stayed to get Am Bastier,but Sunday forecast didn't look good.😀👍

Thanks pal.😀👍

A heather bashing steep ascent of the 1st one Stevie and then some good walking after that.Excellent views of all the big boy mountains from a different angle.😁👍

Thank you.Glad you enjoyed it.😀👍

Hey John.Struck it lucky this day.What surprised me the most is on the 1st summit a slight breeze with a chilll factor in it and when I got to the 2nd nothing and could feel the sun on my face.I'm just glad to get up and down them and not get wet.😂👍

@@AndyOB ha! Yup. Great stuff 👍

Thanks Paul.Yeah the intial climb is hard going.Lots of holes camouflaged by the heather I went down and very wet too.Great views on the plateau and easy walking.Really enjoyed these 2.😃👍

Thank you.Lovely Glen where they are situated.😃👍

Made a few errors myself coming down as there is a spine of rocks to cut through and handrail them to the forest.Even wasn't sure if i was on the right side of the fence at the bottom as it was really high and would have struggled to climb over it.You missed out on the swampy forest section then,lol.2nd worst one I have been in coming a close runner up to Glen Kingie Forest.🤣🤣🤣👍

Lol,thanks Derek.Glad you enjoy them.😃👍

Cheers Andy.Gives amazing views of all the surrounding Munros

Turned out really good again Frank.No wind to write home about and I could feel the sun on me coupon.The good thing about these Corbetts,is that you get a different perspective of the Munros that you have done.😁

Thanks Kev, great views on all sides.Lots of flat bits for tents on both mountains.😃

Thank you.Quite a tough pathless hike up the 1st one but easy walking when it levels out.A Lot of snow melt made the place a bit squelchy though,lol.😁

Yeah the snow is slowly going mate I thought you were gonna go across the tarn when you flung that rock hahaha 😆

@@Butchyboysadventures lol learned my lesson walking on frozen water before.🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Billy.Really enjoyed these 2.First time I have been in Glen Orchy before.😀

Think we are getting a dump of snow this week so I would deffo take an axe and crampons.Beinn a'Chreachin has a bit of a ridge to it that would have been too tricky without.😀 👇👇👇 czcams.com/video/6iccmdD70CM/video.htmlsi=gmzOwNQtD0FNhxfc

Thanks Gabriela,glad u enjoyed it.😀xx

Thanks Andy.New one for me in this way.Great start point outside the cottage.I have never been comfortable in mixed conditions with crampons on and it was too icy to continue without them.Great day all the same.😀

Thank you.A route I had never done before gave amazing views right from the start off.😀

Thanks Ally.Great way up.Well constructed path albeit a bit slippy in places that runs parallel with the main water arterie.This route up is used a lot by climbers going for Stob Coire nam Lochan and Stob Corie nam Beith.Found the last section to the Bealach hard going on mixed terrain with crampons on.🫣😱

Thanks Kev.Plenty spots for a pitch in there.Quite a steep Munro if you continued on from this one as i recall ,so this was enough for me.😃👍

Thanks Andrew.Had never ventured up this path before either.😃 Deffo coming back to continue on to Bidean and descend either Stob Coire nan Lochan or Lost Valley.😀

So will I cheers

Nice words Robert.😀 I have been striving for serenity for a long time and found it when I started hiking the Mountains. Glencoe is special.I visit regular and always have an uplifting experience.The only other place that comes close to it is further up North in Torridon.Thank you for your comment.😃👍

Thanks Frank.Cracking route up here. Don't mind crampons in snow but on mixed terrain I find it hard.Looking ahead at the ridge, it seemed to be very rocky, and when the wind picked up, I was like.....nah. Going to go back in summer and possibly descend into the Lost Valley or down Stob Coire nan Lochan.😃👍

Thanks Donniy.It caught me by surprise and I was a bit late in getting the crampons on.Ground was solid whether it be turff,scree or snow.Crampons are awkward for me in mixed ground.I'm like a guy wie 6 inch high heels on.🤣🤣🤣
