SGURR MOR & SGURR AN FHUARAIN, FROM LOCH QUOICH BY DINGHY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Sat 16th March saw 4 of us Taking on the remote Munro Sgurr Mor & its neighbour Sgurr an Fhuarain { Corbett } from an unsual approach, sailing
across Loch Quoich. It turned out an epic day with a very cold & wet journey back across the Loch.
I said hello in passing on the summit ridge (I was the guy in the orange Mammut jacket)
The boat is a great idea, as I had an 18 mile time up and down Glen Kingie. 😱
Great video as always Frank. 👍
Thanks David, as you’ll know it was fantastic conditions and views from up there, one of my favourite areas for sure.
Didn’t fancy any of the walking routes in, so we were waiting for ideal conditions to take the boat across.
It turned out to be a fantastic day and was nice to see you up there.
Thanks again David

Hi Frank, Well done, certainly an adventure you'll remember. Glad the wind didn't get up too much for the return journey 👍 Cheers
Cheers Charlie, always had it in mind to do these 2 from across the loch, Dave’s boat made it a lot easier and quicker than kayaking. Yeh glad it didn’t pick up much worse. Still got an old fashion soaking tho🤣🤣
We’ll remember this tri for sure.
Thanks again Charlie.

Another great day I had out with you and the lads Frank! Brilliant edit as per usual, I won't go over all the vid as I know how good it was being there - some place, some adventure...only problem is we need to hatch some more crazy plans to outdo what we are doing. Till the next adventure mate. 💓👍🗻
🤣🤣 cheers Dave, I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed that adventure, great boat trip, great weather and great company, I just loved it. And a big thanks again for using the boat, it’s certainly the best way of doing them.👍
Yeh it’ll take some beating, but I’m sure we’ll come up with something🤣👍
Cheers again mate

Great video Frank. Some great scenic shots with the drone. And what a way to get a Munro, by boat. Looked a great adventure. At least you got wet coming back and not going. ATB Andy
Cheers Andy, what a spectacular area, I absolutely love it up there. As you know the snow capped mountains make all the diff and seeing the stags were a bonus.
Yeh so glad we got a dry crossing on way over, it was a great sailing under the capable hands of our skipper Dave⚓️👍
Cheers again mate
Frank
Amazing what can be done in a day, great stuff 👍
Cheers Davis, aye a long day but well worth it, infact I’ve had a few long days up that neck of the woods🤣🤣
Thanks again for taking the time to watch & comment.👍

Frank.
Absolutely top-notch video, Frank. I loved watching that . Well done, guys 🫡🏔 that drone footage with the stags... wow 🤩 that one on the road wasn't moving. Was it 😂
Cheers David, glad you enjoyed it. It was a cracking day and yeh, that stag just was t for budging 🤣 was good to see him up close tho. Those stags at our starting point were very inquisitive also.
Usually there on the move when they hear the drone approaching
Thanks again David
ATB
Frank
It was great seeing the 4-legged locals and beautiful scenery! Another very well done video. Thanks, Frank.
Thanks Chip, had this one on the radar for a good day and we weren’t disappointed. It was great seeing all the stags so close by as well.
Thanks again chip
ATB
Frank
Some of those stags looked like they were ready to go ahead 🙂👊. Looked a brilliant adventure mate and that was some proper nice dronage. Cheers mate
Cheers Donny, yeh the wild life on that road are no scared of anyone🤣 it was great to see it u so close. Last time I was down that road it was highland coos that were blocking the road🤣
It was a great day oot with the lads Donny.👍
Cheers

An adventurous way to climb Sgurr Mor one of my favourite Munro’s and its neighbouring Corbett I recommend the nearby bothy kinbreck bothy in the glen below this Munro what fantastic views great part of Scotland thanks Frank it looked a bit of a choppy ride back thou
Thanks Andrew, this was always my intended way to climb this munro & Corbett. I’d bought a kayak just for this purpose, but when Dave got his new boat it made the planning a lot easier.
There are so many beautiful areas in Scotland but this area is defo in my top 3. Absolutely stunning, what a place.
The return journey was memorable 🤣🤣
Thanks again Andrew

Frank
Brilliant Frank as ever - great detail of the route I’d like to take. Wish I knew someone with a dinghy and outboard 😊
Brilliant Frank 😍👍..Some adventure that mate 😁..Looked great fun on the boat going not too sure about the way back..A bit choppy on the loch 😂..Great drone footage 😁👏🏻..Well done lads 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻..A brilliant adventure..Top stuff Frank 😍👍
Cheers
Roberto
Cheers Roberto, just a pity you were still feeling off as you would have loved it. Everything about the day was perfect. Yeh we all got droont on way back but that’s all part of the adventure.
The worst bit was driving in the dark and pissing rain for 4hrs.🤣🤣
Cheers again mate
ATB
Franko
@@hikingwithfrank315 Looking forward to hiking with you soon mate 😁👍
@@murchiesmountains2820 hopefully soon mate.👍
Brilliant Frank. That adventure will live long in the memory 👌 Some stunning drone footage there. Looked abit choppy on the way back.
Cheers Kev, yeh it was a brilliant day oot with the lads, was a tad choppy and wet on the way back🤣🤣
Cheers Kev

Frank
Great video Frank. Not often you have a boat trip and hill walk on the same day. Something a wee bit different. 👍
Cheers Andrew, yeh it was great to combine both and was so glad Dave had an ideal boat for it. We didnae fancy the usual way on foot.
Cheers mate
ATB
Frank
Didn't think much of your "boat". Looked a tad overloaded with 4 blokes and all your gear. Glad it didn't sink! Excellent as usual😀
Cheers Brian, the boat was actually fine, yeh a bit cramped with all the gear but we knew it would be busy. It’s rated for 4 adults. There was actually meant to be 7 of us going initially so that would have been 6 crossing🤣🤣
Was glad only 4 of us could go.
Was a cracking day out Brian with terrific views.
Cheers again mate
ATB
Frank
Wow what a brilliant adventure , that's got to be the most original idea I've seen for that Munro ..👍
I agree, you need a bigger boat 😂
Being out on a choppy Loch in a wee boat can be scary 😱
Thanks, it was a brill day, original plan for this munro was to kayak across obv on a flat calm day. Once Dave got his inflatable it made the crossing easier and faster.
The munro itself was brilliant as was the sailing across, just on the way back it was very wet and cold, my boots are still drying oot🥾🤣
Thanks again
ATB
Frank
@@hikingwithfrank315 meant to ask... How many Corbetts now ?
Thats a grand total of 12 now😂@@itsablack1
Nice Frank. Good way to do these. Great views, especially into Knoydart.
Cheers Andy, it turned out a fantastic day, and yeh those views into knoydart were special.👍
ATB
Frank
Superb once again Frank, great vids and views, the return journey looked a bit hairy, but I suppose it’s all in the experiencing of the adventure.
Cheers John, yeh it was a great trip and I always fancied doing them by boat, so glad we did and yeh it’s all part of the experience getting soaked on the way back🤣🤣
Just glad it wasn’t on the way over to the mountains.
See you soon mate
ATB
Frank
Excellent.... what a way to get these 2 bagged.Cracking video right from the off Frank.The scenery and the widlife looked stunning and well done getting the drone shots while you were crossing the Loch.😀👏👏
Certainly beats my day of walking in for these 2 from the dam,having to go up and over the Corbett twice.Just short of 20 miles I done that day and took me over 11 hours 🥵🥵
Cheers Andy, yeh after watching your vid I thought to myself, don’t fancy it that way, looked a slog🥾🤣. And I didn’t fancy it from that hellish roller coaster road also.
Always had a sail in mind with my kayak but when Dave got the boat it was a no brainer, great way to tackle them.
The drive down the lochside road was spectacular and the stags added to it.
Was a wee bit nervous flying the drone from the boat while moving as I’ve never done that before and the boat was busy.
So glad I’ve done them now.
Cheers again mate

Frank
Franktastic 🙌. Absolutely enjoyed this adventure. Spectacular views but it was the sudden ending that had me in hoots 🤣
🤣 cheers Keith and thanks for the comment👍 yeh the views were amongst the best I’ve seen, what an area I just love it up there.
Yeh was going to do my end bit for the camera, but we were all absolutely soaked and freezing and it was dark also, so it was just get everything packed away and start getting home🤣🤣👍
Thanks again
ATB
Frank
Good stuff Frank , a perfect day for it and its a stunning area there. Saved a good few miles going across the loch in the boat but it must have freezing on the way back lol ...cheers Stevie
Cheers Stevie, yeh it was a spectacular morning with terrific views, we knew the weather would be getting worse as the day went on, so getting a soaking a the end wasn’t too bad. Boots are still drying oot🥾🥾🤣🤣
Great company and a great adventure.👍
Thanks again Stevie
ATB
Frank
Nice one Frank. We kayaked over for these a couple of years ago. Great we adventure
Cheers, yeh I bought an inflatable kayak a while back just for this munro, but when Dave got his dinghy it was a no brainer.
The day was absolutely brilliant with glorious weather in the morning and only the last 15mins or so in the boat was cold & wet🤣
Still the best way to do these 2
Thanks again
ATB
Frank
Excellent footage, we've been thinking of doing a loch and hike trip, so this has definitely helped us gauge what it would be like. Great photos 👍🏼
Thanks very much, this boat/hike was on the radar for a while, just waited for the weather. It was a great way to do the hills and was defo a bit diff. I would certainly give it a go👍
ATB
Frank
@@hikingwithfrank315Hiya so we are looking to do this trek you've recorded, struggled at first to map the trip, is it Loch Fannich instead of Loch Quioch you crossed? Because Loch Fannich is closest to Sgurr Mor'? 😊
@@MAndrs-d5e hi it was loch Quoich we crossed, there are a few Sgurr Mors. Hope that helps
Absolutely superb video 😁
Thanks Joy, I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was a cracking day.
ATB
Frank
Absolutely brilliant video Frank mate. Looked like a good old adventure. Loved your drone shots. Just spectacular. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Just to ask aswell. I see you have a holster to hold your action camera. Did you buy that or was it home made? I keep looking for something to store my action camera a lot easier.
ATB
Alan
Cheers Alan, it was a spectacular day and the scenery down that way was just superb. It was great being out with some of the lads again.
The holster is ideal, most of us had one now.
Think you can get them on Amazon, just type in Hammer holster and they should come up, pretty cheap also.
Thanks again
ATB
Frank
@@hikingwithfrank315 cheers mate.
Topper Frank.
That looked a great adventure mate. Deffo 1 you won't forget. Great edit as always 👌 atb Tam
Cheers Tam, it was a belter of a day. Very remote munro and glad to get it ticked off.
Cheers
