Best hill in Scotland? I think so. Fantastic video Charlie, good to see the views I missed out on.... I'll be doing it again tho! Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share. Cheers Alistair 👍
Hi Alistair, I agree, it's well up in my top three and it gives a cracking days walking. Many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers.
Nice one Charlie, good to see you're still getting out and about. You had the weather on your side, if a bit cold. When I did the 4, it rained from the 1st munro. I was in Knoydart on Saturday, and it was clagged in and wet. ATB Andy
Hi Andy, The weather in the east is slightly better at the moment but we can certainly do with summer arriving sometime soon. It's a pity about a claggy Knoydart as you its a magic, remote place that's worth getting a good look around. Take care. Cheers
You've surpassed yourself with this video Charlie - the walk and your recording of it are right up there with your very best. Congratulations!!
Hi Alan, Many thanks for your kind comment and I'm really glad you enjoyed this fantastic outing on Liathach. It was just terrific to have a stunning return visit to easily one of the best mountains in Scotland. Cheers
This looks a good day out Charlie, the west has been pretty miserable this year on my available days😢
Hi Alistair, We're lucky if we get one day a week of good weather which is a pain. At least we managed clear tops on this one as everywhere else looked clagged in. Hopefully, summer will arrive eventually. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 unfortunately my holidays are nearly over.
Made it look easy
Hi Grant, A good head for heights is certainly required but when things are like this it's enjoyable taking your time and soaking it all in. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks good advice. I may give it a go. I have done the ring of steall which includes the devils ridge only grade 1. That is about the extent of my scrambling experience.
Some day guys,so much for flaming June 🙂 all the best for now.👍
Hi Dave, Summer is certainly not here yet in the hills, maybe it'll arrive before the snow 🤣. Cheers
Another great video mate!!👌
Hello, Great that you enjoyed it. Many thanks.. Cheers
Nice one Charlie & Mike, windy but clear, I don’t mind that at all. Views were superb and a great leg stretcher getting 6 done. I’ll need to revisit the area on a good winters day as I got rotten weather when I did them🌧️🌧️ ATB Frank
Hi Frank, Its a super area in the winter and with the bonus that the road is continually gritted should there be a cold snap. It wasn't warm but I think its probably our old farts blood, hopefully we'll eventually get a summer? Take care. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 yeh hopefully soon for a decent spell Charlie, just back from completing the Glen Affric/Mullurdoch Munros and it was a real mixed bag with the weather
@@hikingwithfrank315 Great stuff, I'll look forward to the uploads 👍
Doesn’t look like there is any snow at all. I can remember skiing on these mountains between 1982 and 1985 with my school. The season lasted well into May.
Hi Mel, Its been a poor year for skiing at all the centres as we just don't see the same levels of snow as years gone by. Global warming I guess? Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 Even after a rare blizzard the snow does not seem to last for anytime. Looking daily at the Ochils all year, I could count on one hand the number of days Ben Cleuch turned white. Telling anyone under 30 that you once saw an avalanche on Dumyat and they would think you were daft!
Beautifully photographed. Lovely colours and topography. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Neil, Many thanks. It certainly makes things easier when you have some decent light 👍 Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 you do a very good job with what you have . I really enjoy your videos.
Well done - superhuman effort as always! That wee hut looks like it’s about to collapse!!
Hello, The hut is hanging by a thread. To think it was virtually new when we first saw it 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers
Magic
Hi Kevin, Glad you enjoyed it. The day turnout not too bad 👍 Cheers
Hi Charlie, Hi Mike. It sounded a little wild. Still at least it stayed dry, we can’t have it both ways, it’s is summer after all ! 🤣
Hi dave, It doesn't feel like summer but we'll take a dry, clear day anytime. Cheers
Excellent video. It's a pain that it's so cold coming towards July but a good reminder that we live in Scotland. I love this area, even with that horrible shed at the top of the Cairnwell. Thanks as ever. Murdo
Hi Murdo, I have to admit we also have a soft spot for Glenshee as it gives a great opportunity of walking through the seasons, particularly when the road is kept clear over the winter months. Cheers
Good going, getting them all in. East has been the best in the last few weeks... hopefully the west will make a comeback soon...
Hi Chris, I hope your right as it seems ages since we motored up towards Glencoe. Cheers
@charliemccartney7055 yeah, etive beag pair over a month ago... low clouds galore over there. l blame the cloud seeding in California, for this poor summer 🙄😵💫😳
Great video, but what happened to Creag Leacach?
Charlie references it, but doesn’t name it as the fourth Munro when looking South at around 1:40. It’s definitely my favourite Munro in Glenshee, but it would add a lot of work, including walking back to the car and skipping on boulders on a greasy day. Haha, you probably know all this though.
Hi Dick, You've got to leave some tops for the winter 🤣🤣 Cheers
Another great video. You wouldn't guess it was June 29th, judging by all the layers you were wearing!.
Hi Paul, Our old farts blood doesn't help but the wind just had that bite to it. We should be running about in t-shirts 🤣 Cheers
A super walk in windy conditions walking east was the best option 👌 a good range of mountains in easy reach.
Hi Philip, Its great having Glenshee close at hand which is normally a winter venue for us but a good substitute if conditions aren't favourable in the west. Cheers
Great to see places I could never get to. My lack of a head for heights prevented me doing any of these hills. In January a trip at Bo'ness heritage railway damaged my right knee. Now I cannot even walk far on the flat. So even a wander up an easy Peatland is no longer possible. Good to see you back.
Hi Dick, Its a pity about injury and I hope it gets better soon to improve your mobility. You would certainly need a head for heights on Liathach but all the tops in this glen are absolutely stunning and very similar in shape and form. Just magic... Cheers
Absolutely brilliant Charlie, as always you captured it magnificently. Loved the shot of Mike at 7.43 👍 Views were unbelievable, Liathach is right up there with SNG in the Cuillins as my fav mountains. Thanks for sharing Charlie ATB Frank
Hi Frank, Liathach is easily in my top three. It's a mountain that has a lot of early memories as we spent time over the winter at Glen Cottage. Never at lot done due to the conditions but the magic of the place with snow near the road was stunning. Thankfully, we waited a few hours for the better weather to arrive as the tops were in clag for a few hours. A stunning day 👍 Cheers
Aye you had the weather for it...and it offers a great experience.Many ( too many) years since I did it with Aberdeen Uni Lairig club. Another good day and you could add Beinn Alligan!
Hi Simon, Now that would have been a cracking day to add Beinn Alligin.... I've certainly seen the day but unfortunately its night 🤣 Many thanks for watching. Cheers
Great video Charlie, fantastic mountain. Perfect timing with the cloud lifting and breaking for the ridge too.
Hi Andy, Yes, we had a terrific return to this classic that never fails to impress. Cheers
A challenging and inspiring journey
Hello, Really glad you enjoyed this latest outing. Torridon is quite a special place with some of Scotlands best tops. Many thanks. Cheers
Magnificent.And you look like you strolled it!
Hi Andy, Yes, it was a super outing particularly with settled conditions. Many thanks for watching. Cheers
Absolutely incredible scenery in this video, the greenery really stands out and makes a beautiful place all the more stunning. Thanks for sharing 😊
Hi Kevin, Many thanks. Torridon is hard to beat when you have conditions like this and our few hours wait before starting was certainly worth it to allow the clag to clear. Thanks for watching. Cheers
Stunning video Charlie. Did the bypass many years ago and regret it! The Am Fasarinen look exposed but holds all seem fine. One of your best videos. Thanks for sharing!
Hello, Many thanks. The bypass is handy if conditions are a bit wild for the tops but in conditions like we had the pinnacles aren't a big issue. Obviously, a good head for heights but pretty straightforward scrambling in dry settled conditions 👍 Cheers
Absolutely fantastic video well done enjoyed my meeting with both on my walk to the triple buttress at the end of march this year really made my day meeting up with you
Hi Kevin, Many thanks. I was wondering if you would drop in a comment. Great to met you on the triple buttress path and I hope you had a terrific day. Take care, Cheers
Thank you really enjoying all your videos on your channel fantastic hopefully get a few more done my self this summer
Aaaah Torridon. One of my favourite places in Scotland. ❤
Hi Richard, Join the club, no better place. Cheers
Fabulous video. You never tire of seeing the Torridon peaks
Hello, Yes, your spot on. Torridon is absolutely magic 👍. Cheers
I love the diversity of terrain with our Munros . One day you can be on the “summit” of some non descript Meall with hardly a crag in sight, and the next day you are doing this, or a Sgurr Nan Gillian , or An teallach.
Hello, That's the joy of the Scottish Munros and when you walk through the seasons some of the Meall's can also show teeth. Many thanks. Cheers
Magnificent images of this stunning route. Looked like a great day out, especially as the cloud lifted.. Thanks for all the effort. geoff.
Hi Geoff, Glad you enjoyed this one. We waited for a few hours before starting just to make sure the better weather had a chance of getting in and it was certainly worth the wait. Cheers
Absolutely beautiful x Fabulous views. So long since we climbed Liathach. Thank you for a really lovely film xx
Hi Patrica, Many thanks and really glad you enjoyed our wonder along this classic. Liathach is easily in my top three and always a joy to revisit. Cheers
Great stuff Charlie brilliant filming to match the views 👍I needed something to cheer me up after the football ha ha!
Hi Peter, Really glad we were able to bring some cheer as the football was pretty dire 🤣 Cheers
Absolutely gorgeous views, fantastic video!! Defo looking forward to coming here. Did the Glen Lyon circuit on Saturday there and your video for that was a great help in preparation. Thank you👌😁
Hi Sean, Best to leave it for a good day as it's a shame to miss the experience in claggy conditions. Cheers
Amazing video of a quite amazing place. Thanks again - wonderful to watch. I was in Glenfinnan on Saturday and turned back at about 740m as the weather really closed in and I was on my own - right call. But jealous of your views! It almost looks as if the ridge is more palatable than the bypass path, which looks a bit thin and precipitous to me. Anyway thanks again. Best wishes Murdo
Hi Murdo, The path can be an option if the weather is a bit wild, although the ridge is obviously better for full views. The ridge is pretty straightforward when you have conditions like this. Cheers
Fabulous video Charlie! The views are amazing! You guys make it look so easy. Well done!
Hi trapper, Many thanks for taking the time to view and really glad you enjoyed the outing. Cheers
Sensational!
Hello, Glad you enjoyed looking over our latest outing 👍 Cheers
Another cracker chaps. 👏
What a jewel of a mountain so lucky in the British Isles to have scenery and mountain expance in a small country and its on your door step not bagged it myself its just the pinnacles could throw the spanner in the works a good head for heights is required 😀 can't wait for the next one
Hi Philip, Its certainly great to have tops like this within a few hours drive. Its an area with classic mountains all around 👍 Cheers
Brilliant day out. Great ridge, brilliant views and, as always, good company. Thanks for taking us with you.
Hi ajay, Really glad you enjoyed this outing to a classic top. Simply magic... Cheers
Magnificent views ...subscribed.
Hi David, Many thanks for viewing and subscribing 👍 Cheers
Fantastic video Charlie. Well done to you and Mike - you both make it look easy, which I'm sure it is not. Comparing your other video using the bypass path some years ago, which route do you think is scarier and which do you prefer?
Hi Steve, The pinnacles are more enjoyable and better views but the bypass is handy if conditions aren't right for the ridge. The bypass has a short corner which requires a good head for heights and a bit of focus. Its all great fun... Cheers
Hard to beat a day like that Charlie, I'm looking to do the pinnacles next time so was good to see them in this video,Cheers, James
Hi James, You'll enjoy them once you get around to them. Straightforward scrambling in conditions like this but wild weather could make it more challenging. Great to see your journey progressing towards completion and you have generated a terrific video library of tops. Well done....Cheers
A wonderful video. Thank you. It brings back so many memories. And I agree. One of the best views in Scotland.
Hi Pauline, Thank you. Liathach is a bit special and always sticks in the memory as one of the best. Cheers
Stunning absolutely stunning.
Hi Neil, It certainly was just that. Cheers
HI Charlie, Hi Mike. Absolutely amazing gents, what a stunning place, beautiful views. That is one hell of a ridge walk. I have seen videos though of people on the bypass path and that looks even more daunting. All the best gents Dave
Hi Dave, Many thanks. Yes, there is a short bit on the bypass that needs a bit of focus and a good head for heights. It makes a good alternative if the weather is a bit wild. Cheers
Brilliant video (as usual) on a brilliant mountain. Looks like you two had a fabulous day. Take care, Marko
Hi Marko, We waited around for the weather to come in and we certainly weren't disappointed. Just a magic place with superb tops. Cheers
Wow! What an epic scenery. Thanks for uploading these gems, Charlie! Be careful and always stay safe.
Hello, Many thanks. It's always a joy getting onto the ridge in settled conditions as it never disappoints. Cheers
Epic Charlie .
Hi Paul, Glads you enjoyed our latest outing. As you say... epic. Cheers
Incredible video lad, really enjoyed this.. love how calm your voice is... i think id be lost for words up there with them drops.. well done fellas , keep em coming :)
Hi Dave, Many thanks and glad you enjoyed this one. A good head for heights does help but the place is absolutely magic. Cheers
