Great video Paul, these are the sort of days i realy like watching true adventures. I dont know why i am still so awestruck by the beauty of Scotland but every time i watch i am. Thank you for sharing again and well done!! looking forward to the next adventure❤
Cheers Chris! These are my favorite days too! It’s great to incorporate an overnighter on the walls! Especially a lovely warm and comfy hostel! What a special wee place! A big cairngorms adventure this weeks video! Hope you enjoy it too! Cheers mate! Paul
Thanks mate! I was think about your epic adventure on these and I still cant conceive how you did it!, wow! Hats off to you again! Those are big mountains 😁Paul
Great video Paul, good to break up the walk-in and out with the stay at the hostel! Those midges will attack anything, murderous things!!! Not been able to watch for a while, great to watch a wee video again so thanks for sharing your adventures. Safe walking, Duncan.
Cheers Duncan! those pesky midges! yeah the hostel is lovely and well worth a visit! Haven't seen anything new from you in a while! hope your well! Cheers. Paul.
Fantastic Paul. That looks like a class walk. That's something for the future for me. I recently done glenshee. But took on tolmount and Tom Buidhe too. That was a big day for me. Plus done Ben Each last week. Your getting closer to.the 282. Enjoy watching your videos. It also gives me what to expect when am doing my research on my next munro adventure. ATB Alan
Classic Munro bagging trip Paul. The hostel looks to have changed a little since I was last there back in the mid eighties. Think the the midges were the same though! 😳. Thanks for sharing.
Those midge hanging about the door were horrendous! They were attacking my camera too! Wild! What a cracking wee hostel and a great experience! I am going to go back there Graham next year! Loved it! Thanks again mate and glad you enjoyed it! Paul
Another great adventure and vid Paul thoroughly it! Pity you were brutalized by more of the ferocious wee beasties. Kudos to you and the team for persevering through, another few hills is the bag, outstanding! Loving yer work mate! 😃⛰
Thanks so much Ron! Probably the worst midge I have experienced! Hopefully they will all be gone soon for another winter! A hard shift this one and definitely some big mountains! Hopefully you will get to visit them on your Munro journey too! Cheers again....Paul
Thats a big day Paul, tough going 😮 the hostel looked really good but those midgies were horrendous 😮 as ever brilliant editing and great information, FANTASTIC 👌 atb Brian 👍
Thanks very much Brian! Much appreciated 👍. Just felt a bit off that day and the legs were heavy! One of those days! The midges at the hostel especially were horrible but hopefully we don’t need to worry about them much longer 👍👍. Cheers again mate! Paul
Nice one Paulio.👍 your right about doing those munros from the hostel, looks so much easier. We’re you no tempted to leave your bag at some point on ridge when heading for 2nd munro.? Lovely remote area there and yeh those midges were horrendous that morning. Looked just as bad on the tops. At least I’ll have my Ebike for my return journey to the hostel next year. Great edit as always mate and good info for when I get back there.👍 ATB Franko👍🏔🏴
In hindsight Frank I probably should have left the bag at the start of the ridge. 🙄. The midges were with us all day! We never really escaped them at all. They were worst at the hostel though. Yeah I think the hostel is definitely the way to go with these munros and I may go back to do the others too! Cheers mate and sorry again you couldn't have joined us!, Paulo 👍
Another long one Paul but looked a good few days out ,the hostel looked great everything you need there, i see those dam midges were still out and about even the camera was getting attacked 🤣 ATB Ally 👍
Ally they were ferocious! 🥴 I don’t know why they attacked the camera? Anything that stands still! The hostel is a great wee base for these Munros and a great experience! Can’t recommend it enough! Mark the manager was brilliant 👍. Paul
Superb video Paul 😍..That was such an epic trip mate😁👏🏻..The youth hostel looked great 😁..Cant stand those pesky midges😂..Not long till they disappear 😁..Top video Paul..Really enjoyed it 😍👍 Cheers Roberto
Cheers Roberto! It’s a fantastic place! Absolutely loved the hostel! So much more comfortable than a tent! Hard day though! I just felt knackered on the way to the third Munro! One of those days! Cheers again Robert! Catch up soon! Paulo
It was a long old day and your right it feels so remote! We did look at walking in from Glen Shiel but decided the walk in from Affric instead. A fantastic adventure and an amazing wee hostel! Cheers! Paul
That was one epic walk...great to see the views when they appeared...hostel looks good...hope you have recovered..many thanks and to borrow a word from you...fantastic
@andypotts8062 cheers Andy! A great wee adventure! Three more to visit in Glen Affric and can’t wait to go back! The hostel is well worth a visit and I am already planning to go back!!! Cheers again mate! Paul
As always Paul a fantastic video of an amazing journey, gotta love those midge fkrs, not!! look forward to the next one mate, take care, Steven 😊👍🏴🏴
Thanks Steven! Midges were really bad and followed us the full day! A cracking place though and you will love the hostel if you stay there! Cheers mate! Paul
Nice one Paul enjoyed that, good effort getting those remote ones bagged! I still have to do these 3, and the 4 above the loch.. will be next year now.. Cheers, James
Thanks very much James!! Much appreciated! Yeah this was a long way and I was feeling it that day! Cracking hostel though and if you have time it’s a great way to do them! Still lots to do up there!! You on target for next year?
@@PAADVENTURES1 might do them that way then 😁 I have 60 to go, hoping to do another 10 this year so should finish this time next year 😁 how you getting on?
@ScottishMunroJourney 226 just now and heading out tomorrow for a wee double. I had hoped to get to 230 this year but think now it may be 240? 😊 absolutely loving the journey but got a wee bit of the fear of finishing 🥴
I think that hostel could seriously do with a flamethrower.. just to clear up a few midges every morning.. few quick blasts with that shud tidy the midges up 😮
Nice video good to see the inside of the hostel as I have only been there in winter and it was closed but where you slept they keep open as an emergency shelter but no bedding quite remote Munro’s good production mate stay safe cheers
Thanks Andrew! Really enjoyed the hostel and planning to head back next year! An enjoyable wee trip! I think it must be an epic trip in the winter! Cheers mate. Paul
Great effort Paul, these are three big remote mountains you got ticked off.. The worst midges I've seen were up at Glen Affric in August a few years ago. ATB Derek
I can't believe they let you Old Timers in a youth hostel. That shot at 09:24 was so gross! I can almost feel them on me as I'm watching this! But, ah, otherwise another splendid trip!
Cheers Gordon! Was really looking forward to the hostel and it didn’t disappoint! The midges and the clag were another thing! A great walk though and thoroughly enjoyable! Paul
How good is Glen Affric Paul ? Think it has to be one of my favourite places. Great memories going into do those ones although I took the bike. Think that was my first video as well . Feels like a proper wee adventure even getting into the bothy then you've got all the Munros the next day. I think your 1st Munro was my last one of the day when I done them Those midges , ooooft 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟, millions of them 😢😢
Cheers Stevie! Just watched your Affric video! Don’t think I had seen that one before! What a place eh! The cycle in and the hostel were brilliant. I will be heading back to do the other three probably next year now!! Hopefully with less midge! They were ferocious! Paul
@PAADVENTURES1 why next year Paul ?. That video from the hostel was just made from small phone clips before I went and got a GoPro. I'm always impressed how easy you find it talking to the camera when you're with other people . I'm too nervous 🤣🤣
@PAADVENTURES1 haha aye that's what usually happens I imagine, leaving ones you don't fancy till the end then eventually you're forced to do them 👍⛰️⛰️
Great vid , very informative 👍 But ? What do you mean take the left hand side if walking it again ? Do you mean the south side of Loch Affric ? And did you consider going from Loch Clounie, Glen Shiel ?
Yeah I did mean the south side👍👍. Was a wee bit tired. The south side path was so much better and easier for a bike. We came back the north side and it was a bit boggy but still enjoyable. Yeah we had thought about coming from Glen shiel but that Glen is a tad boggy so decided against it. A fantastic adventure! Thanks again!!! 👍👍Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 I've walked along some of the north side doing the other glen Affric munros, a bit rough further along .. Yeah by seeing your vid the south side did look good for a bike ..not done those three yet
@@itsablack1 yeah the track to strawberry cottage is excellent! I still have to do those other three Munros and the intention was to do them on the second day but I was knackered 🥴🥴 . Next time! 👍
@@PAADVENTURES1 yeah I did them in the snow, I did it different from walkhighlands, i avoided the ridge and went up from Loch Affric to that degraded Munro, that day knackered me I'll tell you 😂
@garynewsham2179 we never ventured that far but I believe is a short way up the Glen from the hostel!! Hope you have a good time!! Hoping to go back next year again 👍👍

Good trip Paul. Long one. Hostel looks great.

Cheers Kev! Defo stay in the hostel if you can! Well worth it and it’s a great wee base! Minus the midge of course 😂😂
Enjoyed that Paul. Hostel is cracking isn’t it. Shame you didn’t quite get the weather on the summits but well done. Gordon

That video from the hostel was just made from small phone clips before I went and got a GoPro.
I'm always impressed how easy you find it talking to the camera when you're with other people .
I'm too nervous 🤣🤣
I still have a few Munros to do Stevie so probably pick off some others before the end of the year.
I’ve left some real tough ones to finish on 🥴🥴🥴
