    You've really developed a gift for aerial photography, James - you capture the vast emptiness of that landscape so well, yet also the wee group of deer far below - and I suspect I'd have been tempted into that water by your lunch-stop, back in the day...! And the best tributes we can pay to the departed are adopting parts of their lives that they loved, and in that sense, keeping them alive. I hope having done that helps you regain a better sense of peace.

    A lovely memoir of one of the Torridon Giants James. As you will be going back sometime I reccomend starting from the Beinn Eighe nature reserve car park by Loch Maree and taking in the 2 Beinn Eighe Corbetts as well by starting and finishing with the superb mountain path. Ruadh stac Beag I a particularly fine ascent from Meall a' Guibhais - my collie took some time to work out her way up it after several false routes so I actually beat her up. Incidentally what has happend to Lexie?

    • @ScottishMunroJourney
      @ScottishMunroJourney  Рік тому

      Thanks Eddie, will probably do that route next time! That sounds like a great day! My partner is a dog walker so Lexi is enjoying spending her days out with her dog pals at the moment 😁 was hoping to get her on a munro before the end of the year.. Cheers, James

The small corrie where you stopped for lunch is as far as I managed but good for photos (on my channel). It was really good to see the views from the tops as I don’t think these days I can manage.

    Looked like good advice doing it clockwise , your walk in seemed to take forever walking out. But taking .5 off for the scree/scramble ? Its very dodgie coming down it, one stumble and its a bad one 😱

  • @CallousSonnallous
    @CallousSonnallous Рік тому +1

    Man that scree is absolutely awful- I did it in high summer and it was dry as powdered talc and might as well have been like climbing up sand. I just went for climbing the rocks on the side instead- I'm no rock climber but felt much more at home scrambling over those rocks than trying my luck slipping and sliding down that scree chute while a pack of other hikers try their luck in front of me (and drizzle my face with rocks as a result!) Great lighting that day! I had nothing but haze on mine!

    • @CallousSonnallous
      @CallousSonnallous Рік тому

      It looks somewhat more empty in your video- I feel as though someone might have dislodged a pile of scree while falling down the chute (some people seem to just slide down and use their poles to halt the risk- I saw at least two older gentlemen do it. Not for me.)

    Great video James and a good way to honour Dave. I'd be very interested to see your Munro map, is there somewhere I can find this? Also thanks for posting these videos they initially inspired me to begin my own Munro journey, 13 down in 2 months so far plus a few climbed before I began bagging them. These videos now serve as motivation and provide me with a great resource when I'm planning routes so I can visualise what I might encounter en route. Keep up the great work!

I actually did the exact route James clockwise too back in 2021, with no views and didn't bag the summit cairn because i thought the trig point was it. But more experienced now.
