@hikingwithfrank315 🤣 not a ridge you want to talk on your own especially still in winter conditions still. But the views you got made up for it . Where the suicidal goats 🐐 not up there I bumped in to them on am bodach . Ally 👍
@@Allysmountainwalks6462 yeh it would have been too risky on my own Ally as there was still snow on the paths. No I never saw any of the goats and I was up there for quite a while🤣👍

Hi Frank, wow wow wow mate, what a stunning video, just spectacular views as far as the eye can see. Thank you ever so much for sharing your day with us. Watching videos like this just makes me wish I lived in Scotland. All the very best mate, Dave
Cheers Dave, appreciate the comments👍 yeh the day turned out much better than I was expecting. The lack of wind and the surrounding snow capped mountains made the the summit experience much more enjoyable. Yeh it’s not a bad wee country we live in Dave👍 I’ll need to try the lakes one day tho. Thanks again for the support ATB Frank.🏴🏴👍
Cheers Donnie, aye you don’t get those kinda days often enough and when you do you’ve just gotta savour them. Spectaculucious sounds about right to me.🤣🤣 Cheers again Donnie ATB Frank
Thanks very much indeed, it was a great hike and having the whole day I just went up at a lazy pace stopping to take in the views a lot. Doesn’t get much better than this for weather conditions and views.☀️🏔👍 Thanks again ATB Frank
Cheers Billy, it was a cracking day oot and only a couple hrs drive, well up there anyway, diff story on way home.🤣🤣 yeh I would go back up there again in a heartbeat, views are exceptional when you get them. Cheers for the watch Billy.👍 ATB Frank
Absolutely stunning Frank! What a perfect day! The sky was mesmerizing! I couldn’t stop looking at the clouds! Cracking drone shots as always and another top drawer edit! Your audio was perfect and a wee bit of beluga always goes done well! Fantastic again mate! What a day. Paulo
Cheers Paul, appreciate that mate, it was a bit of a perfect day. Beautiful weather, hardly any wind on the summit, stunning views in every direction and not too far from home. Aye canny beat a bit of BL.🤣👍 Cheers again mate Franko.
The cloud formations over the mountains were incredibly beautiful, beyond words. Great drone views, video and editing skills! Frank, thanks for sharing that.
Thanks Chip, the cloud formations were pretty impressive and it was a joy watching everything in nice calm weather at the summit for a change🤣 the drone always shows a bit more to the surrounding landscape.👍 Thanks again chip ATB Frank
What a day to be in the hills Frank. Stunning scenery and the drone footage was just amazing. What a beautiful country we live in. Thanks again for sharing your adventures 👌
Thanks Euan, it was a cracking day to be up in the hills, anyone of the hills would have been great, but this one offered outstanding views all around. We certainly do live in a beautiful country.👍 Thanks again Euan ATB Frank
That was great you got out during the brief Easter weather window Frank!👍. Nice to see these views again. There have been very few decent weekends recently. Hopefully we get settled spell of spring weather soon! ATB Derek
Cheers Derek, yeh the opportunities to get out on a good day at the weekends have been few and far between. I struck gold that day and got tremendous conditions and only saw a handful of folk. Fingers crossed for some better weather soon.🤞☀️🏔 ATB Frank
Hey Frank, wow, what a day!!! I started watching it on my phone but with those views it wasn't doing it justice so just watched it on the TV. Those views were amazing and video was great as well. You weren't tempted to go along the ridge, I think I would've been? 😂 ATB Andy
Cheers Andy, yeh conditions were just perfect up there and I spent quite a bit of time at the summit just taking it all in. Yeh it was great conditions for the ridge, if I had already done the ridge I would have went over it again, but I’ll just wait for June. Cheers mate ATB Frank
Brilliant Frank 😍👍..Such amazing views from up there mate..Such a great mountain..Iam looking forward to doing the ridge this year as well 😁….Top Vlog mate. Cheers Roberto
Cheers Robert, some of the best views around mate. Steep from the off but a great path and well worth it for the views. Yeh the ridge had been on the radar for a few years now.👍 Cheers again mate Franko👍
Great video and views Frank. I've done Am Bodach ( old man ) twice . Once in fabulous weather and the other time, not so good! It sure is a great hike! Atb Tam.
Hi Tam, yeh the weather and views were fantastic on Easter Sunday up there. 3rd time up there and have been fortunate to have had great weather on all 3 occasions.👍 Thanks again Tam ATB Frank
As you say Frank a cracking wee hike in its own right, you’ll love the ridge when you do it, hopefully get another shot myself during summer, can’t decide which was the bigger thrill, the Aonach ridge or over the pinnacles on Liathach, both superb and both offering stunning if different views. Take care mate, Steven ⛰️🥾🏴🏴
Cheers Steven, yeh been up there a few times now and yeh it’s a cracking hike in its own right. 1st time I did it I hiked from the devils staircase to Am Bodach and back along the main road. Yeh the ridge has been on the radar for a few years, and I’m glad I’m going over it with Alistair who’s done it a couple times now. Thanks again mate ATB Frank
What a cracking day you had on easter Sunday 👍 I like how you got the drone to follow you on the first part of the ridge walk , see if you got that all filmed like that on June that would be amazing 👍😅
Cheers mate, the only time I’ve seen glencoe better was that day I showed in the footage when me and hen broon did the wee bookle and the snow was even down at the car park. But that hike up to Am Bodach was special, I could have stayed up there for hrs it was that good. I’ll defo take the drone for the AE in June and see what I can get. Thanks again for the watch ATB Frank
Cheers Andy, yeh that was defo glencoe at its finest, that must be one of the finest viewpoints in glencoe. The snow capped mountains always adds to the views.👍 ATB mate Frank
Absolutely stunning mate. Views looked incredible and I loved your drone footage. Good luck in June with Ally. Would love to do that too. Take care frank Alan
It isn't often I comment about personal matters on social media. But your vlog brought back some wonderful memories of Easter 38 years ago. Hadn't intended to do the Aonach Eagach but after a picnic and wine atop Am Bodach with a lady friend, bravado took over! Utter Stupidity given there was still a wee bit of snow and melting ice on the pinnacles. I'm still ashamed of myself in several ways, but WTF.... the Aonach Eagach on a fine day with some white stuff. Excellent vlog, Frank. Thanks bro.
Cheers Mike, loved that story, hope you didn’t have too much wine before heading over🤣🤣 It is a special place and yeh the ridge did look inviting. Glad it brought back some special memories for yourself.👍 Thanks again for the comments ATB Frank.
@@hikingwithfrank315 I had a non hiking day out in the lakes Easter Sunday but I couldn’t hide my envy at anyone getting out in that weather. You captured that perfectly 👌
Wow Frank 🤩🏔 what a stunning video, mate 👌 you had a great day for it 👍 I went up a few months ago just to do what you done, but the wind was blowing me off my feet , this video has put me in the mood for another visit 😀 what a place 🙌
Cheers David, it’s a great vantage point up there and yeh I knocked it off with the weather☀️🏔👍 Could’ve stayed up there all day, it was just glorious. Thanks again ATB Frank👍
Brilliant Frank, what a day mate. Views in all directions 👌. Amazing drone footage as always 👌. Are you still on the gopro? Quality was different class. Another great edit, atb Tam
Cheers Andrew, I just love glencoe, could go up there every week and climb something diff, yeh I’m looking forward to going across the ridge with Alistair, he’s done it a couple times b4. You out this weekend.?
@@hikingwithfrank315 nah not this weekend Frank. Have a caravan down south Ayrshire so down there. No further plans but guess what .. will prob arrange a wee overnight in Fort Bill again in April. 🤣Still lots to do within an hours drive of there. Will catch up again for a hike. Cheers and ATB. 👍
That was brilliant Frank. Can I ask, see when you summited An Bodach was there much scrambling involved and the bad step you mentioned was this beyond the summit or before mate?
Cheers for the watch Marcus.👍 There’s a couple wee hands on sections on the way up, but there very easy. The bad step onto the Anoch Eagach is after the summit. So if you were just going up to Am Bodach is very straightforward. Hope this helps. ATB Frank
@@hikingwithfrank315 that helps big-time mate. I personally don't fancy the AE ridge but keen to do both summits at either end of the ridge. Thanks very much
@@marcomclean3605 Marcus I’ve done both munros from either end. If you want to do the munro you have to drop down the bad step from Am Bodach to get to the munro. You could also approach it from the Kinlochleven side which is easier. If you’re just going up to Am Bodach which is a munro top then it’s no bother. Hope this helps.
