How Deep snow can make Scotland's Easiest Munros difficult !
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2021
- Mountain Hiking some of Scotlands easiest Munros in deep snow. These are some of the easier mountains to get up in Scotland - not under deep snow though. Took a bit longer than suggested due to the deep snow !!
As Autumn was fading and winter starting the snow had finally arrived in the mountains, the first major snowfall of the season so I got the snow shoes out to see if I could make it to the top of the mountains in deep snow (well by Scotland's standards anyway!!) .....

Just a thought, get Judith to voiceover all your vids. Attenborough style. What a great start.
Your vids are such therapy - uplifting photography (and music) accompanied by joyous enthusiasm and lightness of expression 😃. Love ‘em!!
I love these hills. People often describe them as "boring", but in winter they are magical. I snowshoed my way to Tolmont and Tom Bhuide a few weeks before the first lockdown, with a couple of friends. It was tough, but a brilliant day, with so many hares in their white winter coats.
Absolutely agree - they certainly come in to their own under a covering of snow :)
Thanks for watching

I was on my first freedom day two weeks ago on those very hills. Very spring like, but looking out to the higher Cairngorms I could see that winter was still hanging on.
Still winter high up as far as I can see from some recent posts - always a reminder to keep the ice axe and crampons on the bag just incase 👍
Take care and thanks for watching

A great watch as always. No need for snow shoes in Devon.....gloves at best! lol
I Remember this snowy spell, I took my niece and nephew out in it and we made a snowball so big we couldn’t roll it anymore😂
Glad to see you had a good time and you made a great video out of it as well👍
Keep it up Murray it’s brightening all our days.
Thanks Simon - that sounds like great fun :) hope you enjoy the upcoming vlogs :)

Hey Murray. It was great to meet you in person at Ellie Chain Walk today. Didn't want to stop you for too long. Just wanna let you know that we follow your channel and used many of your videos as a guide to find some of the spectacular places in Scotland. Keep it up please. 👍👍👍
Just gets better and better !! The scenery is fantastic. Got to be prepared to hike in those conditions (which you are)... another great video..... looking forward to seeing more. 👍🤙
Thanks - was nice to get some snow shoeing in before the lockdown

Fantastic Murray. Snow shoes are that piece of kit that I always wish I had and never got round to buying. Cheers for another inspirational video. Paul

Stunning stuff , bet you enjoyed a wee toady when you got back !🥃
Would there be any munro right now that is hikeable without having heavy snow?
We don’t get a lot of snow where I am. Do snow shoes work for crossing muddy fields..? 😏
Absolutely - work a treat - just make sure the mud is soft and deep 🧐😉
