Hi Andy, I agree, the ridge has a bit of variety across the four tops. It's a wee bit more severe during a good winter as is the case of many tops. Cheers
Hi D&L, Certainly worth a visit as it's a bonnie glen. The bother with the gate is a bit of a pain but perhaps a bike/tent adventure is an option. Cheers Charlie
Particular thanks for this video as I’ve been over those four twice without seeing them. That’s the problem with backpacking. You take the views you’re given. But you don’t have to wait for the gate to open!
An absolute cracking video gents, such stunning views. That old mountain goat had a fair old set of horns on him. Thanks for sharing your day with us as always, take care, Dave.
Lovely video again Charlie.👍🏔☀️ it was a beautiful day to be up in the hills, the views you got were incredible. Hopefully get these 4 done this year. ATB Frank👍🏔🏴
Hi Charlie, It's just fabulous watching your latest video clip. Your information commentary is so interesting, blessed with good weather brought out all the Munro baggers well done excellent walk
Hi Philip, This glen is generally busy with the car restriction. Its like being on the starting grid once 09:00 comes around and the gate is opened 🤣 Cheers
Very nice video gents. Superb clarity on what looked the perfect weather day. It has been a number of years since I walked these hills and your video gave me fond memories. Thank you for sharing it.
I did these four one winter, with good chums, in excellent hard snow conditions with crampons fitted just below the lochan, and retained until also down to the road at the east end. Great video as usual. Many thanks.
Thanks for reminding me of an interesting day long ago, Charlie. And you saw a goat, though not on the Munro named after them. I remember thinking we had to keep moving to avoid a closed gate at 6 then, I think. We gave a fireman from Gillingham,Kent we'd met earlier a lift back to his car by returning to where he was well behind us. Happy days.
Hi Geoffrey, The closing time on the gate certainly gets you focused during the day. You generally find bikes being parked and walkers agreeing lifts in either direction which leads to a frantic first hour until everyone has settled down. Cheers
What a brilliant day to be out. I walked into these ones last year, but did them the opposite way. Glen Strathfarrar tends to get its thunder stolen a bit by Glen Affric I feel. The limited number of vehicles also makes the walk in and out very nice. Top marks as always chaps 👍
Wonderful day yesterday - we were in the southern Mamores and it was pretty hot at times. These hills look beautiful and the video shows them off to great effect as ever. I think I'd be a bit concerned that I'd make it back to the car in time but that was clearly not a worry for you! Thanks again and best wishes, Murdo
beautiful set of hills - virtually a half day for you two there - i assume a walk bike combo is feasible - there's no way i'd do it even in the summer time with the gate closing times. i only just managed Maoile Lunndaidh on its own in the time slot. so odd walking with one eye on the clock - not natural. regardless - wonderful video yet again
Hi Richard, the bike is certainly an option to eliminate the access times. It's never great walking with a time constraint as you tend to chase on and are constantly clock watching. On this occasion, we took the advantage of getting into the glen with two cars as it was the start of our walking week and we didn't get into our accommodation until teatime 👍 Cheers
I did the walk on Friday in the same nice weather. I would say that the views are better when walking going East to west. A good video description of the route.
Great vid as always. Informative as always 👍 What's this with two cars , are you getting old 😉 Waiting to see you guys doing the Mullardoch hills soon ?
Hi itsablack, Two cars are certainly unusual for us but great when the opportunity arises 👍 Only possibly as its our first day of a walking week. Cheers
Hi Andy, There is plenty of room for the cars at both ends. I believe they only let 25 cars max in the glen at anyone time so it shouldn't be an issue. Cheers
Not an area that I have ever visited nor am I ever likely to, but interesting as always nevertheless. Photographically I think these hills come into their own in winter conditions.
Hi Ian, I think most hills benefit from having a wee bit of snow. This glen is quite spectacular and I think gives Glen Affric a run for its money on the photographic front. Cheers
Cracking day. Looks like a really pleasant walk, nice gentle rolling ridge.
Hi Andy, I agree, the ridge has a bit of variety across the four tops. It's a wee bit more severe during a good winter as is the case of many tops. Cheers
Another fine day chaps. Couldnae get oot last weekend. Car trouble. I'll watch this again when I come to do them. 👍
Hi Kev, Nae luck with the car and hopefully you'll be sorted soon. Cheers
Haven't really fancied these until watching your video Charlie. Take care ..until the next one. D&L
Hi D&L, Certainly worth a visit as it's a bonnie glen. The bother with the gate is a bit of a pain but perhaps a bike/tent adventure is an option. Cheers Charlie
Saturday was a stunning day to be out, hoping weds will be as good.
ATB Andy
Hi Andy, Yes, a stunning day. Hopefully, things will continue to warm up a bit 👍 Cheers
Particular thanks for this video as I’ve been over those four twice without seeing them. That’s the problem with backpacking. You take the views you’re given. But you don’t have to wait for the gate to open!
Hello, Such a pity you miss the views on previous visits. Unfortunately, the weather doesn't always play the game 🤣 Cheers
Smashing, as always. Love Billy Goat Gruff’s cameo appearance…
Hi Alistair, Its surprising just how many goats were on show as their numbers are certainly on the increase. Many thanks for watching. Cheers
An absolute cracking video gents, such stunning views. That old mountain goat had a fair old set of horns on him. Thanks for sharing your day with us as always, take care, Dave.
Hi Dave, Yes, it was a cracking day and a joy to be walking in Strathfarrar. Its a nice mixed of hills. Cheers.
Lovely video again Charlie.👍🏔☀️ it was a beautiful day to be up in the hills, the views you got were incredible.
Hopefully get these 4 done this year.

Hi Frank, I hope you have a similar weather day when you get around to this group as they don't disappoint. Cheers

Hi Jonathan, Glad your enjoy a memory blast from the past. This glen was always worth a visit especially when the weather is glorious. Cheers.
I did these four one winter, with good chums, in excellent hard snow conditions with crampons fitted just below the lochan, and retained until also down to the road at the east end. Great video as usual. Many thanks.
Hello, I bet that was a cracking experience you had in the snow as these hills are ideal and allow gradual slopes for access. Cheers
Thanks for reminding me of an interesting day long ago, Charlie.
And you saw a goat, though not on the Munro named after them.

Great video charlie....you never disappoint.....thoroughly enjoyed!
Hi Paul, Many thanks. It's great that you enjoyed tagging along. Cheers

Glen Strathfarrar tends to get its thunder stolen a bit by Glen Affric I feel. The limited number of vehicles also makes the walk in and out very nice.
Top marks as always chaps 👍
Hi David, We had a cracking day. These hills are a super group with a full range of character. Cheers
Another very enjoyable video. Not an area we’ve visited as yet but really enjoyed watching your walk. Really appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Les, Really glad you enjoyed our Glen Strathfarrar and I appreciate you taking the time to view. Cheers
Looking to do these 4 in August 👍
Hi Wanderingscot, Hope you have a great day as these four are a nice mix of tops in a stunning location. Enjoy.... Cheers

I think I'd be a bit concerned that I'd make it back to the car in time but that was clearly not a worry for you! Thanks again and best wishes, Murdo
Hi Murdo, You'll be fine with the gate and hopefully no need to start running 🤣Cheers

Hi ben nevis, I agree but wind direction generally plays a part on our route decisions. Cheers
Another fine day out Charlie.
Hi Dougie, It was a cracker and quite warm for a change. Cheers
Great vid as always. Informative as always 👍
What's this with two cars , are you getting old 😉
Waiting to see you guys doing the Mullardoch hills soon ?
Hi itsablack, Two cars are certainly unusual for us but great when the opportunity arises 👍
Only possibly as its our first day of a walking week. Cheers
Another cracking video of a great looking walk. Looked busy up there but was a Saturday. Does the car park get full up? ATB Andy
Hi Andy, There is plenty of room for the cars at both ends. I believe they only let 25 cars max in the glen at anyone time so it shouldn't be an issue. Cheers
Cracking circuit lads and a cuckoo to boot 😂
Hi Paul, Always good to hear the repetition of the cuckoo filling the glen. Quite a few about... Cheers.
