Beautiful. I did this in July few years ago with my friend and it was boggy 😅. Looks like you had a brilliant day 👍
Hi James, I recently stumbled on your videos and have been devouring them ( all in the wrong order!). I shall never be able to do these myself now, but I hope to "complete" them all through your videos. You have a real gift for film making and photography and it's interesting to see how your films have evolved since the early ones. Thank you.
Thanks John, appreciate the kind feedback!
These youtubes are excellent. I plan to go hiking with my sister in April, watching this youtube, as with others, provides fantastic information. Keep up the good work, your work is brilliant.
Thank you, hope you get the weather in April 😁
@@ScottishMunroJourneybad weather or midges. Decisions / decisions 😂
Another nice video James 👌🏻 Enjoying following your adventures to summit all the munros. You’re doing a great job documenting them and sharing it with us. Keep it up and thank you 🙏🏼🏴🏔️
Thanks for watching James 😁
Thank you ever so much again, James! I wish you good weather conditions for the rest of your Munro journey this year. Hope the storms didn‘t damage anything or did you any harm…
Great to see you out one the hills again James.
Hi mate new sub very interested to some of your destinations In this amazing place good vlog I'm not as such a munro bagger but wanting to do a few hikes up here and camps good stuff mate
Lovely to see these views. This was one of my earlier Munros when I was pretty unfit, and I did it with a group in atrocious weather. I found it a real slog and almost didn't make it to the summit! A choc bar got me there, but it was so windy it was like being in a washing machine! I always think of it as a really tough hill due to that experience - will have to climb it again some day, in good conditions.
Incredible how little snow there is for January. 3 hours is a breeze! I’ve driven from Torquay to An Teallach overnight once and drove back after a bit of broken uncomfortable sleep in the car. 24 hours’ driving over 2 days is a borderline mental illness but always worth it when the weather behaves. Looking forward to seeing where you decide to compleat!
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
Minimum effort for maximum views James 😮 not bad for one of our smaller Munro's 🏔️ great vlog 👌 atb Brian 👍
Hi James, brilliant mate. Sometime its nice to do an east walk every now and then, especially if you have not been out for a couple of weeks. Brilliant drone footage again. All the best, Dave
Awesome views my friend
Fantastic views up there! 👍 Definitely reckon the remaining snow made it better too. Superb.
Yes the snow adds some interest 😁 Cheers, James
Thanks James. That looks like it would be one for me next time I'm over - Hopefully in April if all goes to plan. Last year I ticked my Munro #1 - Stob Dubh. Only two days later I bit off more than I could chew bye trying to tackle Ben Lawers. On the way up Beinn Ghlas the weather turned really bad with strong wind and rain. Me and Skye - the Golden Retriever - got drenched to the bones rather quickly. Mainly because I was stupid-stubborn and didn't put on my waterproof trousers. I managed to pull myself up Beinn Ghlas and tick that one off, but there were no views. Continuing down the bealach I decided to bail out and follow the bypass path back. Next time I'm thinking of combining Ben Lawers and An Stuc. But I might go for some of the easier ones first. The one you describe in this video and maybe Meall Buidhe from Loch an Dàimh dam. Anyway sorry for blethering on. Take care and thanks again. ATB Karl
Hello James. Nice video 👍.
My only complaint (as an old guy) is the use of the word "easiest". Much prefer "easier" 😅!
Haha I actually changed the title after your comment 🤣 Cheers, James
Nice one very boggy I remember if you see photos of this Munro s northern side it’s more interesting but good views cheers
For the life of me I couldn't remember this hills name??
I did it in the snow so long ago I forgot its name..😅
Yeah a good one for trying a snow hike, nice and safe 👍
A long drive for you , a lot will be now 😱😅
3 hour drive? Piece of pish!! Think of us poor people who drove up from Englandshire to knock off a few before the drive home. But I agree, a lovely wee Munro for the beginner or someone just bagging the odd solitary hill. Great video as usual James and Goof luck with the remaining 51.
What are you using to hang your DSLR of your rucksack strap? Looks super convenient and better than it swinging round.
Its the Ulanzi Claw, its a good few years old now and still going strong 😁
Certainly has been brutal weather wise
What kind of drone are you using? I'm looking at getting a decent one to take out on my travels.
I use the DJI Air2s, great drone.
Amazing James. Got to say thanks though. Even though its a 3 hour drive for you its a 1 hour and 20 min drive for me. Gives me a option for something so close for me thanks. Am still waiting for a chance to bag my first munro of the year. Every time am off work its just horrible. Hopefully that will change soon.
Take care
Alan
Thanks James. So what you goner do when you finish the Munros?😊
More Munros, and maybe some of the finer corbetts.
Another good video James.
Remember doing this one and because I kind of knew it would be an easy one I then drove round to do the Meall nan Tarmachan ridge walk. It was a lovely mid November day back in 2021.
I'm on 228 hoping to complete them towards end of the year.
Depending on work commitment. 😂
Great video as always! Just curious how you’ve said it’s the easiest Munro yet internet is saying it takes 4-6 hours which I don’t really believe?
It can easily be done in 3-4, maybe not the easiest of all but definitely a straightforward day when the condition's are good!
Do you think it would be quite boggy all year round?
It might dry up throughout the summer months.
If it was so 'easy', why no Lexi??🐕😢
Too much driving time for an energetic spaniel 🥲 I would have loved to have taken her! 🐾
@ScottishMunroJourney Aye, they're bundles of energy just wanting to be out and doing.
" are we there yet"!!😃😃
