Thanks. It was a cracking day, just perfect for the Cuillins.

Aye, the doggo loved it up there, still a young pup at the time so would have been very exciting running around exploring. It's a nice grassy hill for Skye, all the other big hills on the island do tend to be very rocky. Cheers.

The bypass isn't too bad, a little bit steep and slippery on the gravel near the top, and if it's wet, but no problem if your hands are on the rocks. The direct route over will require rope though. Cheers.

Hi, thanks. It was a great morning on the hills.

Hi, thanks for watching. Great trio of hills on a day like that, especially the views out to sea.

It really is. Thanks for watching.

Yeah this was in Spring. There were a few people about, but I try not to film other people when possible.

Yeah definitely. Would be a tougher day, especially navigating in some parts, and spoil the fantastic views.

Thanks.

You're welcome. It was a fun route.

Glad you enjoyed it.

The summit is about another 20 meters or so above the top of the chute.

Cheers. It's a fun scramble up on a day like that.

Hi. I think I took a bypass rather than going over the top of the ridge.

Thanks. It's a lovely place.

Aye, the view to Gillean from Sgurr a Bhasteir is fantastic. Best view of the pinnacle ridge.

Thanks very much.

Thanks. The highlands of Scotland are beautiful.

Hi. Glad the video stirred up some nice memories. Thanks for watching. Yeah, I've seen Danny's videos. He's got great skills. Cheers.

It's such a magnificent viewpoint. I did it last year in full snow conditions too. We were lucky enough to get a big snow storm, followed by a lovely blue sky day. It never seems to last long in the glen with the salty air. I've never used the boat yet, but looks like a great way to approach the hill.

Hi, I think it's just a wee bivy site to shelter from the wind. Cheers.

@@andy-astro Cheers for that! We're visiting Skye next year and may add this hike to our list. :)

Hi, thanks. These are such beautiful mountains. The scrambling isn't as hard as it looks, just some of the exposure in the Cuillins can be overwhelming if not used to it. A guide is always a great idea if at all unsure of the routes, and they can deal with any rope stuff that may be required.

Thanks for watching Robert, glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers. It doesn't take too long to get there, 1-2 hours or so.

Hi, thanks for watching, glad you are enjoying them. I try to keep the videos simple, with just the sights and sounds of nature in first person view. It really helps with the memories of being there. Cheers.

Hi. Yeah, that last climb up to Glamaig is very steep with a lot of scree. There are lots of grassy patches you can stick to on the way up though, to avoid most of the scree. Thankfully it was dry, so the grassy patches were quite grippy.

Hi, thanks for watching. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, with just the sights and sounds of nature. Cheers.

Hello. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. The highlands of Scotland have some beautiful landscapes. Cheers.

Some great hills in the area. Yeah it's a GoPro, superb camera for it's size.

Cheers. Beautiful place to live, love the drive down there too.

Thanks, it was an enjoyable day.

Cheers Ervin.

Cheers. Yeah, I love the morning light, while it's still kinda golden. That is, when I'm able to drag myself out of bed early enough for it.

Oh, didn't know about that. I'm glad I got to see the beach before it disappears.

@@andy-astro Loch a’ Bhealaich Leamhain at the pass is to be dammed, Earba will be the lower reservoir. I’m amazed you haven’t heard of this dismal scheme. ScotGov is 99% guaranteed to approve the plans because they just wave everything through, landscape doesn’t matter to them. Better get up to Loch Fearna (Quoich) next to record that lovely spot for posterity - it’s also potentially on the death list. Have a look at Nick Kempe’s Parkswatch Scotland blog to read all about Earba. You’ll need a stiff drink.

Hi, thanks for watching. I tend to follow the weather, it's usually cloudy but I try to get out hiking when the weather is good.

Cheers Kev. hoping to venture a bit further south this summer.

Yeah, the bike was really helpful on the way back. A mostly pathless walk but great on a day like that, wasn't as boggy as I expected, though that might have been due to the dry weather. Cheers.

Cheers Frank. Yeah, it's a beautiful spot by the loch, and nice timing to catch the sun coming up when I arrived. I thought the ford, where you guys left your bikes, was a lovely spot too.

It's the delta from the rivers coming off the mountains, flowing into Lochan na h-Earba.

Aye, they are nice hills, with great views. Bit rough on the ascent though with all the boulders.

Thanks very much. It's nice to just keep them simple, with the sights and sounds of the hills.

Cheers Andrew. Was nice to catch the sun rising over the loch.

@@andy-astro just a query mate I am backpacking in July to bag a Munro top of Lurg Mhor and may climb either Aonach Buidhe or Faochaig on way back I have watched your video just wondering in your opinion which of these had best views ?

@@andrewkingdom The view down Glen Elchaig on the descent from Aonach Buidhe, near the end of my video, was my favourite from that trip. Not sure what they are like from the Lurg Mhor side.

@@andy-astro cool 😎 I will find out cheers

Cheers.

Thank you.

Cheers Ally. Skye is pretty special, I've lived here my whole life and never get bored of the views. Deffo worth doing all of the easier ones, that don't require a guide, in glorious weather to see them at their best.

Cheers. Awkward ascent over the boulders but worth it for the views.

Cheers Andrew. It's a great wee hike for the views.

I have placed it on my list to do cheers

Cheers Andy. A bit of boulder hopping on the ascent but a great walk after that, with some care needed on that scree part. You can get the car in quite close to the base of the first one, so not too much of a walk out after dropping down from the third hill, though it is mostly pathless at that point.
