I finally managed to conquer the Munro Creise on my third attempt. After a winter of feeling low, mentally, I set out again to get this one in the bag.
While it is probably not the most exciting journey, the effort I have had to dig and find has been quite the personal challenge. I have not yet decided on my next Munro but I can say I'm glad that this one is out of the way and I'll always remember Creise.

it c an be soul destroying when a hill beats you a big well done for ticking it off
love the honesty of your videos đđ
Hey John, this one certainly had its piece of me.
I just speak my mind on the vlogs and if the day goes a certain way then that's the way it goes, there's no point in making out it was better or worse than it was. Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you liked this one.
Well done on getting there.đ Everyone has that elusive summit..
Thanks! It was becoming a pain but, like you say, I think everyone has that bogey hill once or twice in their journey.
Well done mate, perseverance and determination in abundance! Chuffed for you, could tell how happy you were đđ»
Cheers! I'm no racing snake but I'll always plod on... and getting a bit stubborn with age đ
Oh, I was chuffed that one is done, it just haunted me for the winter.
Well done. Fantastic achievement to conquer your nemesis. Glad to hear that you are enjoying the hills again. Looking forward to your nex adventure đ
Hey Euan, it was certainly becoming that and I know I'll always look at it with a certain feeling of "why did that one take so much?"
I'm definitely enjoying them again and with what limited time I have for the next few months I'll be looking to get out a lot more.
Thanks for watching and here's to the next one.
I met them on the summit of their first munro and they had finished of their piece to camera. I was finishing off my day and spent around 15 mins chatting to them before they had to get a march on as the sky looked a bit changeable.
Got these two done last autumn and met fellow CZcamsrs, HighlandHikers.
Also managed clach Leathad the munro top.
Cracking day out.
Hey Alastair, I wish I could say they had been a cracking day for me but they ended up being a three day set. I guess that's how it goes sometimes with these.
I've yet to bump into any other CZcamsrs out there but I'm sure it'll happen. The HH seem like decent guys. Didn't they get you a wee cameo in the vlog?
Welcome fellow country man . Nae such thing as a Munro in portsmouth.
Hey Rob, having briefly been down that neck of the woods I can certainly say there's not a peak around, a lot of undulation but certainly no Munros.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors Buster Hill is probably as much as it gets. Lol
Great to see you back out and making videos for us đđ» hope you hit your target for the year, and if not.. who cares as long as theyâre enjoyable trips mate
Cheers Alex, it feels good to be back out.
Here's hoping I do but I also see the irony that I said "I always set targets" trying to suggest I won't do that anymore and in the next breath I set myself 20 munros.
The enjoyment is what it's all about and here's hoping I get some good trips this busy year.
Thanks for watching and commenting as always.
(ps. I just saw your short video with your dog climbing on the lead. I can only imagine how those wee legs feel based on how mine feel after a climb, great stuff getting out though)
@@AScotsmanOutdoors Heâs on 32 munros đ canât take him out in winter or for anything over 20k or he ends up in the bag like royalty.
I think I could be doing with being carted up some of these myself, it would have to be a strong bag but I'd take the lift đ
That's good going for such wee legs. Sadly my wee walking buddy had an operation on his leg a few years back and his Munro days are gone. It just aggravates his leg too much, although I may have another wee buddy out on a trip soon đ€«
@@AScotsmanOutdoors very true haha heâs smarter than me thatâs for sure. Oh aye? Looking forward to that. Hope your wee dude isnât missing it too much
Well done. Must be a relief to finally bag that one! I've still got a peak to do that I've failed on twice (1st attempt, thunderstorm. 2nd attempt, wildfire smoke).
Hey Graham, it certainly is a relief that it's over, which is a shame because I don't want to resent any of the hills but this one was close.
Where is this peak you're trying to get... thunderstorms and fires?? Are you in Mordor?
Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors Exactly! Onto the next one now!
Haha, not quite Mordor. Excelsior Mountain, in the Sierra Nevada, California. I've spent a lot of time hiking out there. It's not even a particularly noteworthy peak..... But since I've failed twice, I'm going to have to get it done sometime.
Oh, you'll have to get it now that it's taunting you.
I've just had a Google search of it there and that looks like some great scenery but I can only imagine the heat and weather that area experiences. It looks amazing though!
@@AScotsmanOutdoors Haha yep! The scenery is glorious out there. I'd take the California heat over our British gloom any day đ
Nice 1, congratulations. It was obviously meant to be when the views were out. I thought you had done loads more Munro's than that. Setting yourself targets is always fun. I do it too but I never hit mine. Congrats again mate đđ
Cheers mate!
No, just the mid twenties at the moment so still a long way to go. I get too held back with big plans and waiting for perfect weather that I've anchored myself really, something I'm hoping to break this year.
Hope you're well too đđŒ
@@AScotsmanOutdoors yeah I am the same I never just wake up and go for it I always make a big deal and then it does not happen. I am hopefully bagging my 52 and 53 this weekend though
52 and 53 I think
Nice one. What two are those?
@@AScotsmanOutdoors I will tell you later once I know that I actually make them đ€Ł I am so unfit just now
well done - 3rd time lucky
Thanks Sutherland, I'm just glad I'll not need to go up a fourth time.
Nice !
Cheers Luke đđŒ
Well done Bry. Finally got the monkey off your back. đ Nicely cleared up for you too. Mind you'll have to go back for the Munro Tops tho đ€đ
It feels good to be free of it although I don't appreciate all this extra work you talk of... Munro tops, Corbett's and the such like đ
I might go for a wee wild camp on that Corbett to the west though.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors flat as a pancake up there. Plenty pitching opportunities
