After a good few months lay off after the Lyme infection, I was glad to get back into the mountains with a trip to Glencoe and a hike up The Pap of Glencoe .... Sgorr na Ciche....

Another fine offering. Great commentary. Yes i can understand Scottish...
Good to see you back out on the mountains Murray looking forward to seeing the new videos 👍
Good to see you're back Murray, I'm just back from finishing the WHW and the view at the top of the Pap reminded me of my day at Conic Hill not as high or steep but the weather that day was way worse.

Hi Murray, great to see you back. We often stay at Invercoe Campsite and walk up to the Invercoe Lochan with the dogs. I hope you keep well and build your strength again. Looking forward to seeing your next vlog. Cheers
Glad to see you back again!

Great to see that you're out and about again. Welcome back Murray. Great vid.
Nice vid again:) We just got home from Scotland and weve been up to the Pap just a few days ago so it's nice to watch this vid about it now😊

great to see you back out. :)
So atmospheric, glad you are back in them thar hills!
I've always wondered what an ascent of the Pap would be like so thanks very much for sharing. I might have to add this to my list of possible ascents for trip in October. Nice work as always. :-)
Julian Baird Photography on a good day you get great views from the summit down Loch Leven - well worth a visit on a good day 👌
@@ScotlandsMountains Can you organise me a good day then please? lol
Love the vidz - really looking forward to Glen Coe area next June.
Well done Murray. I contracted Lyme Disease about 6 years ago and it wiped me out for a few months. On my first time back on the hills after the illness it felt like I had never climbed before. Hope the recovery goes well. Regards - John.
John McSporran Thanks John - just curious if have you had any recurring symptoms?
@@ScotlandsMountains It took about 18 months to fully clear, I got days when it appeared to come back and I had no energy, etc. but these lessened over time.
Thanks John - I'm just worried it'll come back- so far so good though... Glad you made a full recovery :)
Great to see you back out mate. Atb
Renegade Scot thanks Ray - hope to be in touch soon 👍
Hello Murray this is a bit late but I thought you had been quiet for a while, only just seen the tick video! glad to see your're at it again!has made me think about my scrambles amongst the welsh sheep!
paul gardner thanks Paul - hoping that’s me done with ticks and Lyme disease forever !! 🤞

@@ScotlandsMountains I've been very lucky i guess! but good to have a reminder.
That's great news you're back out-a-about... Some people will do anything to get some time off eh! lol :-) hehehe..
I enjoyed the banter you and your friend had en route to the top of the pap. I actually visited the area early August. Not to climb though just as a tourist 🤣it is fabulous, and glad that you are on the mend too 👍
thanks Susie - its agreat place to go what ever you get up to when you visit - the landscapes are magical :)

Super hill. Could surprise people as "easy". 🔺
So good to see you back at it, Murray! And why have I never noticed how handsome Jerry is???? Of course the pap outshined you both! Cheers!
Welcome back to the mountains Murray! 😁 They've missed you. Hopefully you'll get another alps trip planned for the future! Views were brilliant until the clag! Another great vid. Cheers, Kris.
Scottish Mountain Goat thanks Kris - I’ll get a view from the Pap again at some point 😂😂

Glad you managed to get back out in the hills Murray. Shame about the clag but as the saying goes " Better a rainy day on the hill than a sunny one in the office " Hoping to be driving along that road next month :D Thanks for sharing and getting me in the mood for my Autumn holiday atb :D Teddy
Teddy Wanderer thanks Teddy - hope you enjoy better weather than I got this day - but as you say always better out than in :)

Great video and good to see your doing ok and back out again ‘ I’m thinking of doing this walk in a couple of weeks so any wee tips will be appreciated mate ‘ thanks for sharing. Take care Danny 👍🏻
Danny Pettigrew there’s a good path until the last bit - just be careful on last bit and keep o the path and you’ll be all good - enjoy :):)👍
Scotland's Mountains thanks very much. Take care Danny 👍🏻
Good health for the future, and many more great vids.p.s I forgot to disconnect subtitles, watch this with subs on its hilarious what it does with a Scottish accent
ah yes- the subtitles have given m many an evening entertainment !! think they need a scottish interpreter !
thanks for watching

Good to see you back out, keep the vids coming, thought you might do a wee summit camp
stay tuned ;)
Good to see you back in the hills. We're in Fort William next week for a week, any tips for nice walks for my partner (not a fan of steep ridges and paths with sheer drops) and the dog (hates ticks!)? We have a few ideas such as west highlands way but I'd really like to bag my first munro or two if possible. Any help from yourself or the community greatly appreciated!! Great to see you back up there Murray!
Check out www.walkhighlands.co.uk great resource for finding suitable outings for all abilities. A walk up to Steall falls is a good starter & glencoe's not far down the road if you fancy following in Murray's footsteps. Hope you enjoy your visit 👍
As Slunker says - check out walkhighlands - a superb resource 👌
I was looking on walkhighlands before it is a great resource. I'm currently going through each walk checking for stiles, reading up on terrain etc. I will check out Steall Falls and Glencoe too. Many thanks!

Before you do go....give you'r dog some anti-tick and flea treatment....so all will be happy when you get back....also treat you'r clothing with permethrin, an anti-tick solution....good hiking and let us know how you got on...atb
@@ChristophersMum Thanks for the advice I'll do some searching on permethrin. Zina has tick and flea treatment but just taking extra precautions with spray etc. Looking forwards to being in the mountains again!
Have you ever tried tights as in womens tights to stop ticks? We used to use them in the forces and used them when I was in Aberdeen mountain rescue too. Even really thin ones stop bites, we even used to use them over our heads in high midge areas, just remember to remove from your head if someone approaches lol.
never thought of that but makes sense - not sure about pulling them over my head though!! lol
Thanks for watching

You need to do a review on tick sprays, yae or nae.
Alister Throw
Aye...👍🎇
Is the route hard? I’ve done Ben A’an and Ben Venue, and I wanted to know how it compares to those
What's a bielach? A saddle? Plateau?
Old Waitekauri the bealach is like a saddle 👍
Old Waitkauri
It's a pass through mountains.....this one is like Murray says a saddle pass🎇
