This up and down walk takes in the single Munro, Schiehallion from the Braes of Foss car park. The weather turned out to be better than expected and some limited views were possible from the top.
This was my first Munro and was done as nothing more than a day out with some friends. I never planned on doing mountains, but it awakened a love of the hills that has never left me. Schiehallion holds a special place for me. Thanks for the one Charlie 👍
Hi David, What a great top to start your Munro journey. It's no surprise it started your passion for the hills with its fantastic location and stunning views. Cheers
Och, Charlie, that wasnae a day fur hangin aboot!
Twenty years ago I compleated there. Happy memories. Many thanks again.
Hi Geoffrey, What a cracking top to complete on. Anyone who leaves Schiehallion for their last Munro are well organised and thinking way ahead. Well done... Cheers
Superb hike Charlie.
The views where not too bad for the forecast.
Scottish summertime ehh.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Tam, Your right, only in Scotland can you get such a variation in temps. A good morning nonetheless and great to get things moving after a holiday break. Cheers
Thanks for uploading, Charlie. 🏴🏔👍
Hi nickname, Many thanks for taking the time to view yesterdays outing which was an enjoying mornings blast. Cheers
Another great video
Hi Kevin, Many thanks for taking the time to view our short burst on Schiehallion which turned out better than expected. Cheers
Up and down in 3 hours....terrific. Might have a stravaig on Schiehallion myself after seeing you there. As always, thanks for a fine video.
Hi Annie, It also quite a good winter top for the short days, providing the road is ok. Cheers
HI Charlie, looked a blowy one. Very similar conditions to what I had on the summit of Grasmoor yesterday. Thank you for sharing your day as always. Cheers Dave.
Hi Dave, Yes, the warm settled spell is well away and we've gone to the other end of the temperature scale 🤣 Cheers
Yes,Charlie, well placed for access. It was the first mountain I learnt to recognise because you can see it from lots of places with its pointed summit.
Good path on it now Charlie been over 20 years since i was last up Schiehallion , the weather looked not to bad i gave this weekend a miss as the weather was all-over the place . ATB Ally
Hi Ally, Its a top that's seen a bit of change through the years with great access. The iffy weather certainly didn't encourage you to drive far but we're glad we decided to go and get something done close at hand. Cheers
Excellent as always. When I was up there it was incredibly blowy and really cold, but it wasn’t July! Scotland, eh? Best wishes Murdo
Hi Murdo, For the beginning of July it was a bit surprising the wind was quite cold and you were glad to get it at your back. It's all good fun.... Cheers
Unbelievable -4 windchill in July, welcome to Scotland 😂 my 50th Munro Charlie 👍 I'm not surprised you were up and down in 3hrs, not exactly the weather to be hanging around in 😮 Well done lads 👌 atb Brian 👍
Hi Brian, We couldn't quite believe the forecast but they were certainly right about the temps when we hit the top. A better day than expected and it makes a change being back in the house before lunch. Cheers
I didn’t realise there was such a good path up scheihallion, as a trail runner that looks a superb running route.
Hi runningman, Its a super path up to the shoulder but things get a bit broken thereafter. Cheers
Went up this way with my father on his 80th birthday. He was as 'tough as old boots'.
Hi Peter, Superb, you just can't beat that "never say die" attitude. Well done your dad 👏Cheers
A wee leg stretch! Windy and Cold! -4 a few weeks ago you would have been up there in your speedos Charlie! oooft!!! Paul.
Hi Paul, The temperature swing from a few weeks ago is quite amazing. We now seem to be in a period of showery/claggy weather ☹ Hopefully, it will settled back into drier conditions soon. Cheers
Good morning Charlie. Nice climb and excellent views…… the fog made me think of a Stephen King Movie. Quite a wind blowing up there. Awesome clouds and view. Thanks for sharing with us. Take care friend. 👌😇🇨🇦 Lilli
Hi Lilli, A nice bit of exercise but a bit wild on the tops. Typical Scottish weather with temperatures swinging all over the place. A super morning nonetheless. Cheers
Hi Charlie nice wee mornings leg stretch for you :) You are correct about the path its looking in good shape now a lot better than the battered trig point. I always wondered if there was one there at some point.
Hi Peter, Not sure about the trig point. My old photos only show the cement base so obviously something must have been secured at some point. Cheers
Nice one Charlie, had to check the date again….. thought it was 12th July and the orange walk was on the go at 3.24 🤣🤣
Nice leg stretcher Charlie and good to see young Michael out again.
ATB
Frank.👍
Hi Frank, I know what you mean... We'll need to see what colours are in for the winter season and try something different for a change 🤣 Cheers
Was up there 10 days ago and 3hrs is impressive going lads
Hi Alistair, There wasn't much opportunity for hanging around due to the temperature, so it was a quick circle of the cairn and back down again. Quite enjoyable and worth the effort for the morning. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 got up in 2hrs with plenty of pics on the way up.
Lots of talking to passers by on the top and way down so approx 4.5hrs loop
Good afternoon..love the way you upload and its only today :) ....just back down from Mont Blanc, you would do it in a half an hour lol ... i just might do schiehallion next week myself as in scotlanf for a week :) M ☘️
Hi M☘, Hope you have a great trip next week. Weather is looking iffy but you might be lucky. Have a good one. Cheers
Nice looked a bit chilly excellent 👌
Hi Andrew, Yes, strong blast coming from the north and certainly no time for hanging around. The views were better than expected which was a bonus. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 I am on holiday with my family in Wonderful Aberdovey it’s turned out not so good here but hoping to climb CADER IDRIS tomorrow
I always think of the wind as the enemy, I guess you were walking straight into it. Good on ye.
Hi David, Your spot on, the wind is the killer. We targeted this top in the hope that it would shelter us from the worst blasts on the way up and it actually wasn't as bad as expected. Cheers
Thats a short walk and a short video for you Charlie? ATB Andy
Hi Andy, The forecast wasn't great across the country over this weekend but we went for this morning walk just to keep things moving alone. It turned out a lot better than expected. Cheers
No a bad day, for a poor forecast chaps. 👍
Hi Kev, Yes, certainly worth the effort for the mornings smash and grab. Cheers
