Thank you very much! A great walk and some amazing luck we had with the weather that day! Thanks for watching and thanks for your comments. Cheers again....Paul
Wow , superb , another great day out with you,( and a few new faces) Stunning views and smashing weather. Love the Tunock T Cake reference 😊 , hope you had a wee box with you. !!! 😊
Thanks Tam. It was a great day and the weather was just fantastic! Stark contrast to our walk today! We just came off conival and ben more assynt! Soaked and blown about like a crisp packet! Virtually no filming as it was a bit dangerous! The Joy's! Cheers mate. Paul
Lovely, the wispy clouds give it that something extra. Great day for some rock hopping. I'll have to get down there before winter. Enjoyed the film. Thanks, Andy.
Thanks Andy! it was an amazing day! Just looked at your channel! you have some amazing videos there!! going to head over and have a look. Are you based up north? Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 Hi Paul. I'm from Skye and based in Lochalsh. I haven't been hiking south of the Great Glen yet but got a tent recently to branch out. My vids are more of a virtual walk style rather than a vlog, bit camera shy, but might change it up a bit soon for some future ones. Cheers, Andy.
@@andy-astro Almost the polar opposite Andy. Im from Glasgow and have only ventured North of the great Glen a few times! heading to Kinlochbervie on Sunday for a week and hoping to catch Conival and Ben More and possibly Klibreck! Yeah get on the camera nd have the craic! Thanks mate, Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 Those Assynt Munros were fantastic, I headed up and set off in the dark to try and catch the sunrise on the hills, had an inversion on one side and clear on the other. Really nice hills. So many deer and emergency stops on the way up in the dark though, felt like one big herd from Ullapool all the way to Inchnadamph. I've still to do the far north too, planning to do Klibreck and Hope in one day, as they are both fairly quick and close together. Maybe drive up and camp the night before. Cheers, Andy.
Omg the cloud inversion is my dream ! I’m scared of heights (but working on it) and yesterday went to the CIC hut and that ridge is calling me. Fantastic effort and a great video. Thank you for sharing and inspiration:)
Thanks so much! We have been spoiled this year with cloud inversions but they never stop amazing! The CMD is the best way to do the arete and you should definitely give it a go once you are comfortable. There is a wee by pass path up there if it gets too much! I haven't ever been up to the CIC but and would like to do a wee walk up there. Thanks for watching and keep working on the heights! Paul
I am a two bite kinda guy Charlie! 6 tea cakes one after the other! One of my favourite walks so far...but I say that after every walk! cheers Charlie! Paul.
Cheers David! It's a fantastic route and certainly beats the hill path on the other side! Save it for a good day and you won't be disappointed. Thanks very much for watching and thanks for the comments! All the best. Paul
Hi Paul. Finally get the chance to watch your last three videos. Haven't deserted you😅 !Won't comment on them all. All three walks brilliant and your video skills capture that fantastically. Well done. Fantastic stuff.
Hi John! Was thinking about you! firstly hope that you are well and getting out and about!! Cheers for the compliments! have had some good walks in the last few weeks and looking forward to a wee trip up to Cape Wrath from Sunday...Again hope you are well and catch you soon. Cheers. Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 Thanks for the good wishes. Unfortunately when my hill confidence was already at its lowest, life has conspired to give me few opportunities to regain it. I have been up Ben Ledi 3 times recently (because it's near and doesn't take long🙂) just to keep ticking over and Tuesday past went to Glen Devon and did the Glen Sherup Horseshoe, (which I enjoyed),again to fit limited time available and to help make me feel I was still a "hillwalker"😂! Have to make do with your excellent videos for the "biggies"😅!!!
@@johnscot1 Brilliant! its great to get out regardless of the height of the hill! I haven't been to the Glen Sherup horseshoe??? good fun? Cheers John.
@@PAADVENTURES1East end of the Ochils. Was ideal for me in time available. 35/40 min drive, four summits, two of which are Donalds, 10 miles, about 700m ascent, saw 2 people. Not the grandeur of the West Highland of course, but helped stop me feeling I have given up.
Thanks Gordon! As I was walking up through the clag, that brightness you get with an inversion was there and I was hoping to break through! What a view Ben Nevis is with a blanket of cloud surrounding it! Fantastic! Thanks for watching and cheers for the comments. Ta . Paul
Brilliant Seth! Where are you staying fort William? It's the iconic hill to climb but if you can go via the CMD arete! Much better and if you are lucky the views are amazing. May is one of the best hill walking months in Scotland. Probably still have some snow on the higher tops and you won't be bothered by those pesky midges! If you are looking for any info then give me a shout. Slainte. Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 yep, staying in Fort William. Wife and I booked a self-guided walking tour so we'll be driving through the western highlands staying at a couple different B&Bs. Yeah we went with early May to hopefully avoid those midges! Wife isn't thrilled with the idea of me hiking Ben Nevis by myself but if I do I definitely want to go the CMD Arete route.
Good evening Paul, absolutely loves this! Nice little group outing too, enjoyed the excitement coming up through the cloud and BOOM! Look at that, eyes popping out of our heads! 🥰👍 wow absolutely superb ❤⛰ the CMD looks like a fabulous route, one very much on our "one day list" Kat would be fine, I'm just a little nervous atm. You captured it well tho and love the footage and tea cake reference lol! Your smile said it all, fab-dabby-dozzy ❤🤗☕ Never get fed up with it, great to see a good account of the ridge 🧐 congratulations to you all in summiting safely too, cracking video and thanks for taking us along, have a great week, Ceri and Kat 🤗☕❤👍⛰🏴
Thanks C! It's a very busy hill and this route is the quieter and more spectacular one! I can recommend it enough and with the weather we had it's up there in my top ten! Plan is to attempt it again in the winter on hopefully a similar blue sky snowy day! This is defo for your nevis return visit! Its exactly like a tea cake! Lol. Cheers Paul
Well done paul classic film mate! Carn Mor Dearg is a briliant mountain much better that the big lump next to it i would say tand that arete is hillwalking heaven :) Tunnocks Tea Cake?..........hmmm........ha ha ha 👍🤣👍🤣
Your right Peter...CMD is an amazing hill and the arête is just brilliant....as for the tea cake. I can't take it or leave it. I thought the tea cake was a good analogy? maybe a big pudding? Cheers mate. Paul.
Fantastic is the perfect word to describe this one Paul. You've mentioned Ben Nevis a couple times, and you've got some majestic mountains out there, but that's got to be the most impressive so far, crowds aside. It's not even that it's the tallest, but also the shape of it, just intimidating looking, at least from the direction you ascended. You must have taken a path less travelled on the way up. I can't see any way you would have been able to crop out those crowds that were at the top on the way up. The Arete was incredible, and getting up over the clouds like that... I've only been up high enough to look down on clouds a couple of times, and I can't imagine it ever gets old. This was the perfect video to watch on the evening before we head up Mt. Ascutney. Another fantastic wee walk Paul, not sure how you'll top it, but you always seem to come out with one smashing walk after another. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks JR! Its a very busy mountain to visit however the CMD ascent route, whilst still busy is quiet compared to the hill path. Its also a lot more technical and difficult so it sees less traffic! The Ben looks best from this side and the north face looks awesome! When I was walking up, I had my fingers crossed for a wee inversion as all the signs had been there and I couldn't help getting a bit emotional as we walked out into the clouds! We are off for a wee Agnew holiday up north to the wilds of Cape Wrath and Assynt.........Leaving my son to mind the castle. So no videos for a few weeks probably..Looking forward to your next release and hope you have a great day up Mt Ascutney! Cheers Paul.
Excellent Paul, a cracking day for the big tea cake lol ..You cracked it with the weather mate, i've done that route twice and had two cracking days ..cheers Stevie
Cheers mate! It's an amazing walk eh! I must admit that the last 200m up that boulder field was a toughie. It just seemed to go on and on....it was packed at the too! Even caught a wee marriage proposal! Lol!, 😁😁cheers. Paul
It was pretty spectacular Andy and a great final walk! I have so many still to do that thinking about the last one hasn't even entered my mind! Hmmm, now you have me thinking. Cheers mate. Paul
My recent trip involved the CMD in similar conditions, maybe warmer, no inversion; heart lungs handled it all nae bother, but I discovered the difference between being “hill fit” and “boulder field fit.” I found all the very irregular stepping all along the arête followed by the final Boulder field was very punishing on my legs, in particular my hamstrings. This is something which no amount of reconnaissance seems able to prepare me for. The spare bottle of Lucozade Sport was vital once that wee crampy feeling came over me on the way down the zig zags. Your blog is exceptionally good at demonstrating what is encountered along the way. Well done!
Thank you very much David! Like you, the last 200 metres up through that boulder field was tough. I am out pretty much every weekend and it still takes it out of you. For me it's just slow and steady, like first gear as I said, you get there all the same. I guess if you had a warmer day that can also take its toll? A wee bit heat and your muscles can easily become dehydrated? I have had cramping before in the heat... thanks for watching and thanks for the comments,. Cheers and all the best. Paul
Absolutely superb Paul. Spectacular views along the ridge. Ha, liked your analogy of Ben Nevis. Something had a feast. Yeah, wonderful conditions. I bet you got back down really pleased. All the best up there. Mark
Thanks Andrew, with all the photos, filming and general chit chat it took us 7.5 hours! If I was on my own and just walking, I guess it would take me around 6.5 hours...Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments! much appreciated!! cheers. Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 oh wow that's quicker than I thought the route over CMD was. Cracking piece of work. Looking forward to doing it even more after watching.
@@andrewwalker6449 Andrew, I guess everyone will be different? I walk at a reasonable pace but don't rush...Whatever time it takes you will love it! hope you get the same weather as us! Paul.
Fantastic footage you got there on a beautiful day to show people what it's like to do that walk. You're making me want to scoff a couple of tea cakes now 🤣🤣. I thought you were gonna start talking like Crocodile Dundee when you put that hat on 🤣🤣. How do you find it doing stuff to camera when you're out with other people ? I'd find it quite strange i think to do it with people beside me
It may also look like a half eaten Christmas pudding Stevie! 😂😂 I don't mind anymore Stevie..I used to get a bit embarrassed but just thought it's all a bit of fun so not going to get too stressed about it...your last video was really good and you looked much more relaxed like you enjoyed it more? More of the same please! Cheers mate. Paul
A friend recently asked if I wanted to do Ben Nevis via CMD, the Ring Of Steal and Pap of Glencoe in 3 days. Do you think that's too much for a complete beginner? A few months ago, I did some hiking in Isle of Skye. After being out for about 9 hours, the following day my legs had muscle soreness and feet were tired. I'm 29 and probably of average fitness.
Wow! It Is difficult to say?..the ring of steall is a relatively big day...on average probably 8 to 9 hours,. The CMD arete is probably another 8 hours and the pap is shorter and quicker. It is totally doable but I would say it would be a tough few days! Factoring in weather and daylight hours as well and as a complete beginner I would be cautious! However you may blitz it! Stay safe! Paul
Great video, thanks for making it and posting.
Thank you very much! A great walk and some amazing luck we had with the weather that day! Thanks for watching and thanks for your comments. Cheers again....Paul
