    Good film Frank. It's nice when the sun and views pop in and out between the clouds. Nice views south across the Loch, with the sun behind.

    Spent the dreary, rainy day clearing out paper clutter and just clutter in my house in between reading about the horror in the Middle East and finding out the f-ing Moonies of all people just held a maga gun festival in my state, the one my Quaker ancestors helped found. Your mountains are breathtakingly gorgeous; balm for a weary heart, thank you.

      Cheers Brian, thoroughly enjoyed the day oot, always better going up that way to avoid the crowds🤣 weather was great on way up but the cloud came in as we neared the summit. Thankfully it came and went which made for the atmospheric conditions.

    Very adventurous and also truly inspirational to get out there and do something with life. Sometimes I feel like I lost the spirit of getting out there and instead got stuck in a big town and just work and work and work. So thank you for creating this video and sharing such an experience with all of us. Wish you all the best :)

    • @hikingwithfrank315
      @hikingwithfrank315  Před rokem +1

      Thankyou very much, I was like that also and thought, life is too short for just working and that’s why I decided to get out and see this beautiful and capture it for memories when I can’t do it anymore.
      Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment.

    Hi Frank, Nice day with plenty of atmosphere and stunning views. What a busy top, it certainly attracts the walkers. Still, a good opportunity to get the Munro ball rolling for 2023. Cheers, Charlie
