      Cheers Paul, yeh it’s a diff world up there and hopefully it’s given you a good insight to what lies ahead when you go.😁 you can see why you need a guide for us hillwalkers. It was a fantastic trip and hopefully you get similar weather, defo makes all the diff up there. Thanks again for watching. Catch up soon👍

    Well done on a fantastic week guys, and great films of your trip Frank. Cheeky buggers those ravens, they hit the jackpot with those peanuts. Never really thought about emptying side pockets when dropping the bag, will be doing so in future though. ATB, Andy.👍

    • @hikingwithfrank315
      @hikingwithfrank315  Před rokem +1

      Thanks Andy, it was a very memorable trip. Only 1 left to do now on Skye.
      The ravens certainly know the score up there, as soon as we had left our bags and started climbing they were perched right next to our bags just watching and waiting till we had disappeared🤣🤣
      The peanuts were actually inside the guys rucksack, god knows how they got them out.
      Thanks for watching the trip Andy.👍

    Brilliant vid once again Frank, I loved the dramatic music, that just added to the tension of it all, those two were my favourites of the whole Skye trip, it was a pleasure hiking with you and Garry, just a pity he missed out on this one.

    Hi Frank, You had a cracking week... well done, it must be great getting the ridge behind you. You can't underestimate what The Cuillin does to us normal hillwalking folk, particularly in poor weather. It's enjoyable but totally alien to the normal outings.
    It was great to finally meet in person and I'm sure it won't be the last time in the future. Cheers, Charlie

    • @hikingwithfrank315
      @hikingwithfrank315  Před rokem

      Thanks Charlie, tell you what, I’m just back from a hike at bridge of Orchy and what a bog fest coming down, absolutely bogging, knackered and so forth🤣🤣 Skye Cuillins, never experienced that once, all delightful paths up and down. But like you say Charlie, it’s a diff world to what we’re used to, but so privileged to be able to complete them Barr one.
      It was lovely meeting both yourself & Mike and hopefully our paths cross again.
      Take care both of you,

    Another fantastic video Frank 👍👍 what an amazing trip you had to Skye, I have watched loads of of videos of Skye and the Culin but have to say yours are the best I have seen. So tense and full of adrenalin with some breathtaking footage, well done and thank you for sharing. Hoping to get there myself next year. Cheers Chris

      Thanks Chris for the lovely comments, I try and film for folk who might venture after me to give them an insight what it’s like.
      The trip had everything, brilliant weather, fantastic climbs ( terrifying at times ) superb views, fantastic guide and company, a few beers every night and some other beautiful sights on Skye.
      Hope when you get there you get similar conditions.☀️🏔🤣

    Brilliant video Frank. Great footage and drone soundtrack just added to the gear grandeur of the Cuilins. Love your videos and the effort you put in to engage the viewer. Hopefully you will capture the imagination of a new generation of hill walkers with your enthusiasm. 👌

      Thanks Euan for the lovely comments, my aim was to capture as much footage as I could of this magnificent place and if it inspires folk to get out and into the hills then that would be great.
      Thanks again Euan👍

    Skye Cuillin really gets the adrenaline going,lol.Deffo more technical up the west ridge than the east that I done.Am Basteir is my other one of two I have left on Skye.Need to be a good dry day for me on the bad step,lol.😃👍👍

      Cheers Andy, the weather really made it special. Every climb you were scrambling left right and centre which I loved👍 such a brilliant place, arse was flapping quite a few times🤣🤣 Sgurr Nan Gillean was my fav, loved the chimney climb and the abseiling back down👍 loved Am Basteir as well and yeh if your gonna go via the bad step make sure it’s dry🤣👍. Only one left to do on Skye for me, so I’ll prob get that next year.
      Thanks for watching them Andy and I’ll look forward to watching the remaining 2 you have to do up there.👍👍

    Frank how important did you feel having a guide with you was? , and would you have felt confident doing it again without one.
    Superb montage at the end aswell 👍🏻

    • @hikingwithfrank315
      @hikingwithfrank315  Před rokem

      Hi Alistair, I felt I could enjoy the Cuillins much more with a guide as they know every hand/foot hold on every mountain there. So having a guide was very important to me.
      I would only feel confident in doing maybe one or 2 of the munros I did on this trip and they were the 1st two. All the rest I would use a guide again.
      Thanks again for taking the time to watch them all Alistair.
      Have you been up there before.?
      Cheers
      Frank.

      Nope! I've never had the opportunity.
      But all things going well I would love to go there in the next couple of years and hopefully attempt most if not all of them.
