  • Alistair and Douglas continue their weekend trip to Loch Quoich hiking the Gleouraich and Spidean Mialach Munros in a circuit featuring some excellent stalkers paths. With views for days in all directions this is truly a fantastic hike near to Invergarry in the North West of Scotland.

    Awesome video guys. Loved the drone footage. Just fantastic as usual. When it comes to the summit snack. Well I've got to say the yum yum just cause of the size 😂😂. Enough to share lol. Well done to both of you on bagging new munros. Looking forward to the next one.

      Thanks Alan, we appreciate the comment! The yumyum was the better of the 2 to be fair to Dougs.

    Great video, the yum yums are the clear winner on this day, hopefully get to these two later in the year

      Thanks Derek. Even I would vote for the yum yum 😂 these 2 are a great day out, yet another beautiful part of the country

    Cracking video of a stunning walk, guys. And I think splendiferous is a fair description of those yum-yums!

    • @HighlandHikers
      @HighlandHikers  Před 26 dny

      Thanks Irene. We both really enjoyed the yumyums, they were a welcomed treat.

      ​@@HighlandHikers hi boys, I was fortunate enough to have dry weather for my clockwise walk, I found the stalkers path made for a relaxing ascent!!!!.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😎😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      Sounds like a good day

    Two cracking Munros and a great day out. Totally agree on anticlockwise route around these hills. Like to get the road walk and walk in out of the way first plus the track down from 2nd Munro brings you directly back to the car park. Would have to go with the caramel thingy as a summit snack. Thanks for uploading, guys.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏔👍

    • @HighlandHikers
      @HighlandHikers  Před 26 dny

      I wouldn’t fancy coming down off of the first summit we did if the ground was damp. I can imagine the grass would be rather slippery! The caramel shortcake was amazing!

    Hi Gents, what a fantastic area, some stunning views there, especially those opening shots, WOW!
    As for summit snacks, I think this week it’s an honourable draw, both looked very tasty.
    All the best

    Cracking lads two fantastic Munro’s I did these clockwise in winter fab views cheers

    • @HighlandHikers
      @HighlandHikers  Před 24 dny +1

      Thanks Andrew. What was the descent like?

    • @andrewkingdom
      @andrewkingdom Před 24 dny

      The decent was fine we descended diagonally from Spidean Mialach summit down to large loch then found a hydro road that took us back to the road the ascent was great as you are aware there a great stalker’s path to climb up to first Munro chers

      @HighlandHikers  Před 24 dny +1

      @andrewkingdom doesn’t sound too bad at all!

    Cracking area for hill walking. Clockwise for me. Great views to the north of the South Shiel ridge

    • @HighlandHikers
      @HighlandHikers  Před 28 dny +1

      It’s beautiful up there! I like the idea of going up the stalkers path but coming down the other side might be a bit hairy on wet grass.

  • @greigmartin4339
    @greigmartin4339 Před 28 dny

    Did these 2 last year after seeing what the views had in store. Stunning area. I found them a bit of struggle - i got there but probably took me about 8 hours and that haul up and out of the bealach between the two felt like i had lead weights on my feet. the stalkers path down from gleouraich is probably the highlight. one that deserves a clear day.

    • @HighlandHikers

      I felt it was a struggle getting up to the first summit when the incline really started to increase after the initial walk in. In the end its not really about how quickly you can do it, unless you’re doing some sort of race, but just taking your time and enjoying it. The walk off the second summit was really enjoyable, drinking in the views as we descended.

    awesome job lads , hoping to do these two at the end of the month ..

    • @HighlandHikers
      @HighlandHikers  Před 28 dny +1

      Thanks Craig, they are a cracking pair to climb. Hope you get a great day for it.

    Excellent as always guys. Fair racking up the Munros now! Awesome drone footage as well, i like the music you have chosen with it. Ive started taking some footage myself, i was wondering where to you get the music from? Thanks!

    • @HighlandHikers
      @HighlandHikers  Před 28 dny

      Thank you! Dougs is getting closer to the end of the journey but I still have a fair few to go. We use Epidemic Sound for the music.

    It makes me feel good that you two can't pronounce the names either. I don't know what a fudge yum-yum is but I'm throwing my vote that way. Great drone shots!

    • @HighlandHikers
      @HighlandHikers  Před 28 dny

      We always have a bit of fun trying to pronounce them 😂 but we do try our best honestly! The fudge yumyum was a winner for me as well. Its sort of like a croissant but apparently deep fried and covered in icing. Highly recommended on your next visit to Scotland.
