    Great vid again Andy, takes me back to year 2000 when I did these (east to west) as my first Munro’s - totally clagged-in but loved the adventure which whetted my appetite for the Scottish mountains and has not diminished to this day. Richard.

      Thanks Richard,glad you enjoyed it.It's great to get the views.I don't really set out anymore unless the forecast is pretty decent.Too many days in crappy weather missing it all is not good.😀👍

    Nice!,, that wee cycle at the start! You were like Barry sheen flying down there!
    I knew straight away that the views were going to be epic and that I was going to see lots of stuff that we missed on our wet and windy trip!
    What a perfect day Andy! Those views were amazing and a banging wee tune again. It's a long day and it took us nearly 11 hours to get round! How did your foot hold up in the end? Lots of descent too and that slope at the end must have been relentless. Great watch again and look forward to the next one! Paul

      Thanks Paul,really enjoyed the cycle downhill,lol.Views were amazing and it's a pity you guys missed out a few weeks ago.
      Looong day (10hrs 45 min) foot was ok but i'm a lot slower on descents now.Fresh pair of socks and a fresh pair of trail shoes from Bealach na Lapain down to car to aid the foot,lol.😀👍

    Superb Andy, superb weather and superb filming.👍☀️🎥 nice to see some of the views we missed when we did it. How did you find the section after crossing the burn till you reach the ridge.? Brilliant ridge walk when you see it in its full glory.👍
    How was your foot after that walk.?
    Nice sound track as well Andy.👍
    Cheers mate,

      Thanks Frank,bit after the burn was not too bad.Bit of hopping about to keep dry.Took a spare pair of trail shoes just in case,lol.Foot was ok but my pace has really slowed down in descent now.Was out there for 10hrs and 45 mins.Still got a fear on foot placement.😀👍

    Hi Andy . Cracking video again . Fantastic . I’m doing this route tomorrow same way as you . Done the brothers today . Can I ask . Can you remember roughly how long it took to cycle down to the start point mate . Cycled down from clunie this morning to the start of the brothers . Might leave earlier tomorrow because them lorries battering down behind me we’re doing my head in . Hope fully it’s quieter on a sat morning with them things . Thanks , Stevie .

      @AndyOB  Před rokem

      Hey Stevie, I'm glad u enjoyed the vid.I think it took about 20/25 mins to get to the start from the Brothers car park.A lot more freewheeling than the Cluanie section you done,lol and then it levels out pretty good for the last part from the Forcan Ridge layby right down to the start.Glad I had gloves/hat and glasess on as i got up to some speed and it was cold.🤣Hope you get a good day for it.😃👍

      @@AndyOB Hey Andy . Thank you very much for the info . Much appreciated. Weather has been ok up here today . Nothing serious and good viz on the summits . According to met office it’s supposed to be much the same over the next few days . Nothing worse than going up in drizzly clag . Well apart from wrestling with big trucks down that road that is 😀. Thanks again Andy .

      @Stevie 268 No probs.😃👍Did you put up on one of the Facebook walking sites that you were thinking about doing the whole brothers and sisters ridge during the week there??🤔Remember someone asking about it and walking the road at the end.
