    Did Beinn Sgulaird a couple of weeks ago and the weather was glorious! No snow at al. Cracking hill and some of the best views in Scotland! I could see Jura, Islay etc.
    Did Ladhar Bheinn from Kinlochhourn yesterday. Just WOW! What a place Knoydart is!
    Well done James. Hopefully meet on the trail one day!

      Thank you - yes Ladhar Bheinn is a cracker, I still have to return to bag the summit but think I will go from Inverie next time 😁 Cheers, James

    A very hard single Munro. I have climbed it twice. The second journey was my Munroist dogs of which was their last venture on the hills due to old age. Great views fantastic video. Thanks again.

    Wow - I climbed Sgulaird on a beautiful summer day with friends, but it looks even more spectacular with that dusting snow. It's one of my favourite parts of the country. I spent the best part of two days bagging Creach Bheinn and the three Grahams near it and didn't see a single soul - just glorious views.

    Climbed this munro twice, once in 2008 in deep snow and in 2022 in better conditions. Really makes you work for that tick with all the ups and downs. Well done James and excellent drone footage.

    I used to live in Connel and have done this Hill a few times. I've always approached from the Loch Creran....
    A great day out.
    Your video brought back some happy memories.....
    I'll be watching more of your exploits.

    I really enjoyed this video James. Sgulaird is local to me, and l often take that first track up from the road with my dog, and on to the ruins of an old farmstead. Theres a cairn on your left as you take the track up, l think thats where you turn off.I must get up tbe Ben one of these days. Ive been told the views are great, and you sure showed that, amazing. Beluga Lagoon are fantastic. Thanks for sharing your adventure....Alioban ❤

    Good Munro this one , a way better munro than Beinn Fhionnlaidh.. Did the both in one day, a lot of ascent for two near sea level Hills..
    Your last snowy hill, don't know about you but I don't think I'm ready for being boiled yet.. Bring back the snow 👍😅

  • @gritstoneedge

    Another brilliant video with some great photography, especially from the summit. Yes only a small Munro (in terms of height) but the total ascent is so much more. Well only 38 more to do! A request - would it be possible to show a map of all those Munros done and those to do? Thanks.

    I took a step back there. When I saw the preview image, I thought you were in the Torridon area.
    Shows what a bit of snow cover can do!!
    But yes, beinn Sgulaird for myself and companions ascending directly from the Upper glen creran car parking was a long steep slog with succession of false summits.😳 Once on the top, views were sublime, and a short descent to the col with a lochan overlooking Glen Etive leading to a return over Beinn Fionnlaidh and a long painfully jolting descent to the starting point.
    Your imagery fantastic as always 😃

    Well done James. Looked like quite a hike for 1 munro but looked amazing. Outside drone footage as usual. Well done. Loved your pics of ben Lomond on Instagram. Looking forward to the video of that. Even though I've climbed it 3 times. First time I was hungover from a wedding the night before lol. Well done again

    Our sports and social group were up in the Crianlarich area in April 24 and two of the group decided to do Ben Sgulaird.
    They underestimated it a bit and got a bit lost , were late back for the evening meal and were shattered.
    This is a big walk and should not be taken lightly.
    Great vid with stunning views btw!
