  • An ideal trip in the camper van (it has been costing me a packet recently!) and the last time we were here it was a washout and disappointingly bad! We were hoping for better on this trip....

    Beautiful scenery especially with the heather
    No rain but a brisk wind..not too bad..keeps away the bugs
    I like how you shared your Scotch egg with Lexi
    The bug repellent/ light give a nice glow in the van
    Great video and take care 🇨🇦❤️

    Thanks again Murray. I done this round with my father in law last month and Cairn an Turc was his second munro and we done the full loop over to Creag Leacach in beautiful conditions until we hit the roadside and got caught in a bad thunderstorm. Cheers again

    When I did this hill, as I approached it there were scores of hares silhouetted on the skyline. As soon as they saw me, they disappeared in quick order. Bill

    That's the great thing with the Glenn shee is you can do short days or a beastie and it's easy to cut short a trip if needed.
    The campervanis a game changer for a hill walker and once you've had one it's hard to go back to a car.
    Great video Murray .

    • @ScotlandsMountains
      @ScotlandsMountains  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I couldn't agree more - in fact I spent last Saturday stravaiging around these hills and talked a lot about it being one of the best hill walking areas in Scotland. I often think it gets over shadowed by other areas, but thats maybe to our benefit and keeps it a little quieter ;)
      Thanks for watching

    Really enjoyed this relaxing video. I may have said on numerous occasions that Glenshee is my absolute favorite area to stay and as you say seeing the wildlife up there is wonderful. The deer in particular and I remember well going up the pass between the Spittal and Braemar being surrounded by them one evening it was an amazing experience . Nice to see your boy with you on this one. ATB Murray.

    • @ScotlandsMountains

    Ohhh the fact you got to see a deer when you opened the camper door, love that. You're right, the ptarmigan blended right in with those rocks. Great seeing your son Lewis with you, and of course I have to give a big ol' hi!!!, to Lexie. 😍 Beautiful scenery, and I truly appreciate you putting the camera so close to the heather at ground level. Really hot here in Texas so it was great seeing that y'all had it nice and windy with it feeling a bit chilly. Thanks again Murray for another great vid 👋

    great video! your little Lexi is cute! If you think your campervan needed a tidy then you haven't seen how chaotic my van is! Watching the video I wondered if this was the hill that I climbed about 40 years ago and didn't get the name of it.

    Did wee Lexie spy those ptarmigan? If so, how did she react? Thayer were sure neat to see. Is your lad as excited about Scotch Egg as you are? 😆
    I guess that ski hut wouldn’t do you much good in a storm now, eh? Keeping track of your son’s munros for him? Looked like a very pleasant day out. Cheers, and ATB!
