A superb video, outstanding views! Good to see the A team back together! Mark.
Thanks Mark. Stunning area isn't it. 👌🏼
Fantastic again Robin.
Cheers Denis. 😎 👍🏻
Dude the tunes n drone shots blew me away!! Awesome video dude!!
Cheers Kyle, that reminds me I took a photo for you on Sunday. Need to post it on your Pussbook. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace buzzing to see it!!
@@Impalaontrail just shared it. 🐐
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Awesome!!!
Cheers Allan. One of the best views ever on this one. 😁
Superb...thanks for the chance to live vicariously
Thanks Tim. Glad you liked it. 👌🏼
Stunning scenery and photography Robin 👍
Cheers Colin. 👌🏼
Great video...loved the drone shots. Hit the jackpot with the weather. Great part of the country. Cheers.
Cheers David. Yeah we totally nailed the weather. Been sitting tight on this trip for the weather window. 👌🏼
Mindblowing, absolutely stunning 🤩👌
Cheers David. 😁 👌🏼
Cracking views of a stunning place 👍❤️🏴
Cheers, it was stunning. Can't wait to go back to that area. 👍🏻
Amazing Corbett, the views are amazing from there.
One of the best mate. 👌🏼
Stunning views Robin! Cheers for sharing.
Paul.
Cheers Paul, it was cracking up there. 👌🏼
Love Kev’s little interludes!
Aye, he's a good lad. 😁
Fanks Gideon 😊
Robin, a cracking walk in and stunning views all the way. A fantastic spot for the tents and it probably doesn't get any better than that! Would have the midges any day over ticks!! Wind is a tricky one to judge on the summit. A beautiful sunrise with fantastic clarity. #LeaveNoTrace 😊
Cheers Gerry, that was one of the best 👌🏼 . I know what you mean about having midges over ticks, Lyme scares me.
Absolutely stunning buddy... Your drone shots were epic👍👍
Thanks Alex. Glad it was worth weight carrying it up with me. 😁

Lovely. I've been looking at doing this and/or Beinn Lair soon. That's a lot of ticks. Great views of all of Torridon from this one, and looking forward to the Fisherfield views from Beinn Lair. Might take the bike for this one and follow the slightly longer track route.
Aw mate, that even today is the worst I've seen ticks. Must have been a nest nearby. Awful things, how I never got a bite, I do not know. Anyways BCA is a cracker, can see the advantage of taking a bike if you're after Beinn Lair too.
Oooh so beautiful 😍 looks like a very lovely trip 🌟
Hey Sis, I thought I replied to this. But clearly my reply didn't save.
Top notch lads , what a place . Great video
Cheers Ian. It's mint up there eh. 👌🏼
Wow robin mint one dron fabulous great sunrise love you always make a video tfs atb Bryan
Cheers Bryan. 😁 👌🏼
Totally agree with both your thoughts on this. It really doesn't get better than that.
It's up there with the best to be honest. In my top 3. 🤔
Happy new year chief. This is a cracker. Going on my to do list!
Happy New year to you too mate. Loved this trip. 😎 👍🏻
Stunning!
😎👌🏻
Great video of a super area. We biked to the bit where you left the main track, and it still took us for ever, but luckily got weather like yours. Whoever rubbishes the Corbetts should be forces to watch this.
Cheers Squiz, yeah the bikes would have been a good idea for us too. Hope you never got ticks on your bikes like I did with the GoPro?
Absolutely stunning! I need to get myself to Scotland!! Awesome mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers Ash, did you watch Mari's recent film? I wasn't far away from there either.
Walk With Wallace 👣 yes I did, and that had my jaw dropping too. I’ve ever only been to Scotland once when I was a kid, I’m going to wait for midge season to finish and get myself up there 👍🏼👍🏼
@@AshOutdoorsUK good idea, they're savage at the moment. Give me a shout if you want any advice on routes or what not.
Walk With Wallace 👣 thanks buddy, i no doubt could do with a few pointers that’s for sure! 👍🏼
Take care robin, catch ya later 👍🏼👍🏼
@@AshOutdoorsUK no probs mate, there's lots to explore, laters. 😁 👍🏻
brilliant video, thanks for sharing
Thanks Lisa. 😁 👌🏼
Those views were stunning mate, you have a cracking channel here 👏 All the best. Adam
Cheers Adam, those views will be hard to beat. 👌🏼
Real canny bonnet for the sun and you were so right, the views were stunning - not good about all those ticks mind. Absolutely stunning views along the tops but the summit views were breathtaking and the drone footage only added to that. You hit gold with that morning sunrise, so worth the restless sleep, midges and ticks. Great watch Robin, cheers Alan
Hey Alan, I thought I replied to this, but obviously not or I'm convinced comments are not saving on the phone. Weird. 😕
Oh how beautiful mountains!!
Thanks Linda. They're stunning. 👌🏼
Nice one again lads.. Beautiful sunrise! No sure about that hat though! :-) heheh..
🤠 Love that hat. 😁
Cheers D&L, we throughly enjoyed this one. 👌🏼
Robin & Kev, Great stuff, just doesn't get much better than that. Stunning area. ATB Charlie.
Cheers Chaz. Been saving that one for a while and it didn't disappoint. 😁
North West Highlands is spot on 👌🏼 That was beautiful, guys! Cheers, Mari
Cheers Mari. It really is fantastic up in the North West. When you back? 😎
Superb guys, great 👍🏻
Cheers Simon. 😁
Did you ever take the plunge on a Trailstar? 🤔
@@WalkWithWallace Not yet Robin, I have had more urgent purchases to make first. :-(
@@simonlakin5067 annoying when real life stuff gets in the way. We're getting a new shower room, so that'll curtail my outdoor spending.
I know Robin, I’m trying to get my business back up and running. There’s work but it’s down home in England which is a long way from Aberdeenshire. 🤷🏻♂️
@@simonlakin5067 hope it goes well, even if it means you're a bit further south than you'd hoped.
Superb! What can I say Robin besides the fact you picked up some hitchhikers. Torridon was awesome. I had to get close up to the screen and put some glasses on just to get a good look. No you can't get much better at all mate especially with good company. Really enjoyed that one. Mark
Thanks Mark. 😁
Those little unwanted hitchhikers thankfully didn't make it to Edinburgh. 🤞🏻 🙏🏻
Nice video, enjoyed it. Visited the highlands a few weeks ago, absolutely stunning.
Cheers T&J. Where did you get to in the Highlands yourself?
Walk With Wallace 👣 Went up Ben Mucdui and Cairngorm mate. The Views were stunning 👍🏻
@@TomAndJoeVlogsTJOutdoors nice one, the Cairngorms are fantastic. Most of my wild camps have been there.
Was up Torridon two weeks ago , Magnificent place. 20 degrees on An T’s summit.....utterly wrecked. Brilliant video as ever. Slioch looked ace👍. Liked the hats 🤠, drone footage was epic.
Cheers Del, it was a top trip. I'm meant to be in Torridon in October if the hostels are a goer. Been too long since I was last there.
Walk With Wallace 👣 ha! Enjoy. Gerry’s hostel perchance? It’s not the same since the old bugger died. He was a proper Radge 😂😂😂. I liked him fine mind, but woe betide you if he took a dislike to you. I think it’s his son that runs it now.
@@mountain_del1863 haha, I've heard lots of stories about Gerry. 😁 I hear his son is a bit of a grump though? 🤔
We've got a joint 40th and 2 60ths party at the Torridon YH. I can't see it going ahead with loads of different households being there in the dorms. Hope I'm wrong. 🤞🏻
Inspiring!
Cheers John, that's something I aim for. 😁
Walk With Wallace 👣 You succeeded to the point where I feel guilty for not doing something similar!
@@thedaftestnameicouldthinko8233 hopefully this has given you some food for thought then. 👍🏻
Wow that was a great video Robin. Really enjoyed watching every bit of it. Well done. Thanks Steve 👍
Cheers Steve. 👍🏻 😁
See I told you too stick in 🤣
@@stevesdaysoff2759 👍🏻 certainly did mate.
I just found and subbed. I look forward to supporting the channel...
Cheers Rosser. 😁 👍🏻
Stunning clarity, you could see for miles. Like the Hat.
Robin you almost bought a tear to my eye as you pointed out the Causeway, although Ive only been up about 5 Munroe's Ive hiked a few long trails and it looked familiar but I would not have realised I had walked through there without you pointing it out.
All the best. 🍻
🤠 Can't beat a Tilley hat. 😁
The causeway is in a cracking location, gives you a real sense that you're entering remote country from there on in. 👌🏼
Great job Wallace 👏
It brought back memories of last August and you got great weather ...I nearly lost my drones filming the summit it was so windy... great footage...Great watch 👌
Atb Alan gregory Adventures
Cheers Alan, it's some mountain. 👌🏼
Good to hear you'll be back up soon by the way. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace ha ha 😂 hopefully and who knows might bump into each other one day Wallace on the mountains ⛰
Keep up the good videos 📹
Cheers Alan Gregory Adventures
@@alangregoryadventuresthegr992 😂 👍🏻 take care bud.
Another classic 👍loved the drone work🤗you really lucked out with the weather ☀️☀️☀️diggin the Al Capone look😜
Cheers Steve, been saving this hill for good weather. 😂 @ Al Capone. I'll add that to Wolf Creek and Indiana Jones.
Superbos mate. What a trip, what a mountain, stunning drone footage 👌
Mint trip mate, cheers for the company and banter as always. 👍🏻 😁
Stunning - looks like a magic trip
Cheers Calum, apart from those ticks, it's up there as one of the best. 👌🏼
Another cracking video bud. I think out of all the views in your videos this one might take the biscuit! What was the route up like? Looks steep in areas on the OS.
Agreed there, it's one I've always wanted to do for that view. 👌🏼 It's not too bad actually, steep in places, but nothing untoward.
Nice one sir.oaft they ticks, Heebie geebies.liked your fruit bag hacks.
You should start dehydrating your own meals, it's so easy and so much cheaper.
Keep up the good work
Rich
Cheers Rich, yeah I've always thought about that. I'm just a bit lazy when it comes to preparing food. 😁
Stunning lads
Cheers Stevie. 😁
Awesome. Unbelievable views of torridon. Will defo be putting this in my list. Ticks seem to be full on this year too. Enjoying the more frequent videos by the way. Cheers
Cheers Leon, the views are stunning. Up there in my top 3 I reckon. 🤔
Nice one, I don't have a schedule to be honest, but aye if I'm out, I'll fire up a video.
Touch would, no ticks seem to have hitched a lift back to Edinburgh. 🤞🏻
Brilliant Drone Footage Robin, my Breath was also taken away from my visit.
Amazing place isn't it. 👌🏼
Lol @ Indiana Wallace comment. 😂
Not gonna muck about mate. That was stunning. Those views. I take ma wee cap oaf to you. 👍 should’ve been longer
Cheers Andy. It's up there in my top 3 I reckon. 🤔
Nice one guys. My favourite part of Scotland. I ran up this one a few years ago. A cracking hill.
Cheers KP. It's stunning up in Letterewe/Fisherfield. 👌🏼
Wow! You weren’t kidding about the views Robin! Awesome! Again, quality footage throughout and skilful use of the drone. I’m not sure what I hate the most, midges or ticks! I hope you are tick free now! ATB Anthony 👍👍👍
Cheers Tony. 😁
Midges are a pain, but I'm totally paranoid about ticks. Never brought any home thankfully. 🤞🏻 🙏🏻
You don't have many days like this in Scotland and when you have you have to go to north west. Great views, your friend Kevin is getting better with the camera! You are both like professional TV presenters now!:-]
Cheers Jonas, North West takes some beating when you get the weather for it. 👌🏼 You been out recently?
@@WalkWithWallace I was on drinking holiday in my country and then... Raasay on my own following your footprints. It was hard!:-]
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild Sweet, got a Raasay video in the pipeline?
Maybe next month.. dealing with pictures now.
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild cool mate, take care. 👍🏻
Some really great views up there Robin. It’s just a shame about the ticks on your walk up. The sunrise looks great in the morning and the weather was cracking too👍 Look forward to your next trip Robin⛺️👍
Cheers Gaz, it was a mint trip. I eventually forgot about those ticks. 😂
Argh the ticks would have had me freaking out and slapping myself all over! Well handled 😬😬
Aw man, don't. 🙈 Hate ticks.
Thanks for that Robin, absolutely breathtaking scenery. Looked a superb hike and wild camp.Would love to visit that location next year. I hope your meal was cordon bleu at that price 🤪
Cheers Mac, it's cracking mate, hope you get similar weather to me.
The meal wasn't great, overrated in my opinion. 😅
Now that's what I'm talking about!! If Innis and Gunn did Corbett camps... wow, what a trip! Bet you saw next to nobody as well, what a place! Nice one lads :-)
Exactly, seen 3 people all day. 😁
Met James Roddie on the summit, he was camping out with his missus. Do you follow him on Twitter?
@@WalkWithWallace just checked his page out and I do now 😁. Great choice of hill, amazing 360 degree views 👌
@@jamesbell6889 been saving this one for a while mate, so chuffed to finally get there. 👌🏼
😬😬😬😳, man, yez were gettn smashed by the ticks. Evil. You got a crackin' day for it, the views were epic 😎👏👏👏. Fantastic drone shots too😍. 'Marie, Marie' 🤣😁😂🤣 Shakin' Stevens song.....😁. Hey, did you know the fellah that wrote most of his stuff was from Edinburgh?
How do you know that? Proper pub quiz question that. 🤣 Good old Shakin Steven eh.
Old mate the song writer used to live in one of the roads close to Craiglockhart Primary School. I heard that from 2 independent sources so I'm happy enough with it being the truth- apparently his kids went to The primary school but went to some secondary for toffs.
Hey, there were some seriously fantastic views to be had on this one - when the weather's with you😲😍😎👍
@@billyaitken1713 weird how you have connections like that. 🤣
Views were ding dong, best part of editing is reliving it all.
Wow 🤩
Cheers S&D. 😁 👌🏼
Brilliant one guys! Cracking views and lovely drone shots! Those blooming ticks tho! Think they've got an alliance on the go with the midges this year! Everywhere haha. Take care. Kris.
Cheers Kris, midge and ticks are savage at the moment. But those views man. 👌🏼
Hi buddy, if you're free Sunday evening I need to do a Microsoft Teams meeting with you, only really on, how to be educated on getting some bloody awesome drone shots, they were great chap, shame about the seat pad, but lucky find. One puff of those things and............. 'see ya'
Great video again pal. Thumbs up from me
ATB Dave 👍
Haha, cheers mate.
To be honest I'm still a bit of a novice with the drone, but I just think what I want to shoot and avoid filming into the sun. I love placing the drone below me and doing the reveal shot as the drone rises above the crags.
This looked like a wonderful place . Shame about those darn Ticks though ugggg it left me itching just watching ! THanks for sharing Take care :D Teddy
Thanks Teddy. It took me about an hour to get over that tick invasion. Hate them more than midges. An amazing place though.
@@WalkWithWallace I can imagine !!!
What a video! They views are absolutely stunning 😍 and the weather... wow! And now it's bloody thundering ⚡
Cheers Amanda. We nailed the weather there, but that was some thunderstorm ⛈ hardly got any sleep. 😅
Aye you's picked a braw day to go right enough. And aye a ken haha what a storm that was! Sheer biblical, thought where's Noah & his bloody ark when you need it. 🙈 that scenery though, is bloody breath taking. Well done 👏
@@amandamurphy5758 every time I thought the storm was moving away and started to doze off, boom another rumble. Love storms like that.
Aye haha same! Or another bolt of lightning would strike and light up the whole back green 🙈 did you hear the MASSIVE bang? I've honestly never heard anything like it in my 33 years in the world. I shit a brick lol 😂
@@amandamurphy5758 ha, yes. I did, I was in a light sleep by then and my heart was racing when I heard that bang. 🤯 Oooft, I remember a similar thunderstorm when I was like 8 year old. ⛈
Imagine being on a mountain top during that.
Stunning video Robin , conditions were perfect the drone footage adds that quality touch . Dont know about you but I was cold in my LS at the weekend as the wind got up and whistled through those vents , only in the summer bag but on the plus side no condensation lol . I also managed to put a hole in my cnoc bladder !!!
Hope your removed those little ticks off yourself ! atb Dave
Cheers Dave, I'd been saving this trip for great conditions and got them. 👌🏼
You know what, when the wind swung 180° on us, I was a bit cold with the draft coming in at the front. How do you find the tensioners on the guylines? The wind loosened all of mine and the tent lost its tautness. 😒
Pain about the Cnoc, you getting another one? Mine is the kick-starter version the screw top can leak under pressure.
No ticks attached thankfully. 🤞🏻
@@WalkWithWallace My tensioners seemed ok to be fair , I repaired the bladder with a self adhesive innertube patch and seems to be holding ok . Glad you are tick free .
@@BorderRambler hmm 🤔. Wish I could swap them out for proper linelocs.
Can't beat a DIY repair. 👌🏼
Nice 1 - did you get a drone? Loved the views - did you just pick off the ticks without any problem ?
Cheers Dave, aye got the drone pretty much this time last year. Don't always take it with me, unless I know its going to be mint. 👌🏼
Thankfully no ticks seem to have hitched a lift back to Edinburgh. 🤞🏻
Probably a novice question, but what are your thoughts/precautions on drinking water from a running stream? From what I understand it’s generally safe to drink if there is no livestock and the source doesn’t look muddied? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Hi Euan, there's always a small risk of catching a bug, but I have never had any issues with drinking straight from the stream. As you say as long as you're away from farms and livestock. As a general rule of thumb I'm happy drinking from streams that are 500m and above.
Carrying a filter is worth it for extra peace of mind. 👍🏻
Thanks very much for the advice Robin! Only discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and am loving it, keep up the great content 👍🏽
@@euandunbar7148 you're welcome mate and I'm glad you like the channel. 😁
Can I have a step by step mackerel wrap ingredients and method please I wanna try it for lunch 😊💖
1x wrap
1x can of mackerel
Blob of tomato puree
Add some optional cheese. 😁
Walk With Wallace 👣 tried this for lunch didn’t do the purée but was so nice little messy though haha xxx
@@ClaireIona puree just adds a bit more to the dry wraps. It is messy, I licked my fingers afterwards forgetting I had sanitised my hands moments before. 😂
Walk With Wallace 👣 awww gross worst tasting stuff ever 😂😂😂😂 ahh that’s make sense I’ll do that next time 😁💖
How far were you from Wick?
Wick is still far away as its tucked up on the far North East corner of Scotland.
Robin, brilliant video of Beinn Airigh Charr.
The midges in Fisherfield can be biblical with no wind.
Personally think the views from Beinn Airigh Charr are some of the best in Scotland, but slightly biased with family connections to Poolewe.
The branch off after the Kernsary gate to the Ardlair path is definitely quicker than going round by Kernsary, the locals used that route long before the current road/track was built in the late 1970's.
As ever keep up the brilliant videos you make.
Cycle down Loch Maree if your interested.
ua-cam.com/video/NA0-FJXNmuY/v-deo.html&t
Cheers Ewen, I reckon you're right. I was blown away by the views on a'Mhaighdean, but I think BCA are even better. Beinn Alligin is another favourite. Will have a wee look at your vid too mate. 👍🏻
Great spot, great camp.
Can you have a Duo of (Lunar) Solos, I wonder?
Your repurposing of supermarket produce bags is fine, but nothing, NOTHING, weighs "nothing".
Cheers Dave. 😁
Not a duo on this occasion as Kev was rocking the Lanshan.
Not even a tonne of feathers? Haha, you know what I mean, the weight is negligible.
@@WalkWithWallace Ah yes - so he is! Shows just how close the similarity (i.e. copy!) is. Following your Lanshan Pro experience closely as you know - agreed it'll stand up in 30mph but I want to see it in more than that before I risk mine!
@@davids9549 yeah, they've definitely pinched the design from SMD, but that said there's some subtle changes that I actually prefer the Lanshan. Albeit SMD have made improvements since my old version.
I have never had a tick bite in over 40 years of hillwalking. Then again, I hate the buggers so am ultra careful.
Lucky mate, you know I only got 1 tick bite during a round of Munros. Since moving to Corbetts and Grahams, I've picked up a few more.
@@WalkWithWallace I never wear shorts, lift my arms up going through horse and bracken and always check when I get home. Now any dogs I've had have been tick magnets😁
@@BrokenBackMountains ha, aye send the dogs in to mop them up. 😂
Indiana Wallace ,lol.
🤣 🤣
Great video! I love outdoor activity too. 💖
Make more video. New friend here and let's build each other up 👍 stay safe!
Build me up buttercup...🎶
