    Awesome video Brian. I remember doing Ben Macdui a couple of years ago. I didn't realise i downloaded the wrong route and took me upto the ridge. Kinda shat myself and decended down the boulders and across the field till I got to the tourist path. Thanks to a couple on the ridge who did offer to guide me along but I was still fairly new to munro bagging but declined the offer. They did point me in the right direction to the tourist path. I was ready to give up but pushed to at least bag Ben Macdui. Brilliant watch mate. I hope I eventually build up the courage to do this one day. ATVB Alan
