Really appreciate this video guys being new to bagging munros. Cheers again.
Thanks Marco, hopefully it was of some use!
Great Video!! I couldn’t help but think Mount Keen deserved a place on this list :)
Thanks Adam, maybe it will make part 2!
Excellent wee video. Superbly informative, great and well used footage and most of all... inspiring! It must say something about my Munro journey that I have climbed two of those you listed in my thirteen 😂 Again, an excellent vlog and now Schiehallion is in the sights.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Glad you found it inspiring, hoping it can give people a wee idea of where to start, although there are a few others that could possibly have made it in. Schiehallion will probably be a good one to try with the weather becoming less friendly.
Nice one guys! Paul
Thanks for watching. ATB Alistair
Very nice editing, my friend recommended this channel. Worth looking it up!
Welcome! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
@@HighlandHikers ty!
Well done Douglas and Alastair in the production of this informative video on easy Munro's.
Thank you Douglas, hopefully it helps give people an idea or two if they are looking to try a Munro - Alistair
@@HighlandHikers Hi Alastair, All of the Highland Hiker videos are very informative. Keep up the good work. Stay Safe.
Thank you for the kind words, they are very much appreciated.
Thank you for your fantastic guides. I'm not the fittest, I take too long going up but have just completed Ben Chonzie there and back in 4 hours.
Thank you Tracey! The great thing about hiking is you can take as long as you want to get to the top and back down again. When the weather is good then taking your time is well worth it.
Excellent video thank you now I know which ones to avoid.
Beautiful camera work.
Thank you!
Thank you for that list, and the Munroes are noted for my next trip. Apart from Ben Nevis, my first Munroe was A'Mhaighdean. Stunning climb.
I have climbed neither of those ones David. Which ones have been your favourite so far? - Alistair
@HighlandHikers well with omly two under my belt A'Mhaighdean was good as i was by myself without tourists in their flip flops and sun hats!!! We will see next year as going to spend time in Scoland
Nothing beats having the mountain to yourself. When I hiked Beinn Chabhair for the second time I never saw another person between leaving the car park and returning to it, was magical.
Appreciate the simple straight forward explanation covering what needs to be known, thanks.
Thanks for watching Craig, hopefully it was useful.
Done them. Liked and subbed. 👍🏼
Thanks for joining us!
@@HighlandHikers My pleasure gentlemen.
Amazed that it was not mentioned that Sheihlaliion (how do you spell that) was used in the 19th century to calculate the weight of the world!
You should check out the full length video of the walk where we talk about the experiment!
@@HighlandHikers OK - thanks for that
The easiest Munro in my opinion is The Cairnwell I think that even climbing on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh is more difficult:))
I remember going over Arthur’s Sear taking part in Survival of the Fittest a few years ago. It certainly didn’t feel easy that day! 😂 The Cairnwell is definitely going to be up there amongst the easiest Munros especially if you take the chair lift to the top!
Which place is centrally located Todo these five hikes I mean a town or village.
Somewhere like Callander, Strathyre, Lochearnhead or Killin would probably be good.
Could you do a video of Munro’s that are easy access by public transport thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion James, will have a look into that and see what we can do.
@@HighlandHikers great thanks👍.
I am a writer/poet with a blog, and I have hiked all over the Smokies and up the Appalachian Trail; but I am befuddled by this word I have never heard. I know the surname that is similarly spelled; but what in the world is a Munro? Did I suddenly enter another realm?
They are a collection of mountains in Scotland that are over 3000ft or 914.4m tall. They were once part of the Appalachian Mountains when Scotland and North America were once part of the same land mass.
Wouldn't call my selft an absolute beginner but i did ben lomond then ben nevis 3 days later with ease
Thanks for watching Scott. I suppose everyone is different and some people may not fancy the amount of ascent involved in tackling Ben Nevis without building up to it first. If they feel up to it then I’m sure plenty could manage it if they are fit enough.
£3 parking all day ?? You Scots make that sound like £3,000 lol! 🙂
Parking charges in Scotland, particular in more remote areas like this, are fairly new so as hill walkers we’re not really used to it. Sadly it seems to be the way things are going.
@@HighlandHikers don't worry man, I'm a Yorkshireman. I hate spending money too 🙂
Public toilets that charge are the worst! 20p to take a piss? No chance 🤣
Pay for parking! I thought you were Scottish.
Thanks for watching
