Fisherfield 3 Munros
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2023
- This walk takes in the three Letterewe and Fisherfield Munros Beinn Tarsuinn, A' Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mor. Starting from Incheril at Kinlochewe we used bikes to cover the initial 10km into Lochan Fada before looping around the tops. A cracking weather day, warm with little wind.... just perfect.
The definitive series on showcasing the best of hillwalking in Scotland. Each video superbly produced with minimal and essential commentary with a knowledge of each location second to none. Looking forward to “seeing you on the next one”!
Hi peter, Really glad you enjoy watching our walking trips. This speed of settled weather has been ideal for getting the bigger days and remote tops done without fighting the elements. Many thanks... Cheers
I walked in just to Lochan Fada this weekend. as you say - "quite a place"! Absolutely fabulous. Well worth the walk itself. I keep coming back to your videos, nicely put together and stunning scenery. Thanks.
Hi Bethbear, I'm not surprised you enjoyed the walk into Lochan Fada as it's absolutely stunning and well worth the effort. It's terrific you use the uploads as a resource as it's certainly not all about getting to the tops. Many thanks.. Cheers
Well spoilt, great views magical place.
Hi Paul, Glad you enjoyed our visit to these remote tops. Just can't fail when the weather plays the game. Cheers
An amazing part of the Highlands 🎉 fantastic
Hi Andrew, I agree, it’s a magic area to visit with tops that give stunning views. Cheers
Superb video. Three prized, remote summits and so glad it stayed clear for you, to give what are fantastic views. Brought back great memories for me, when my brother and I were on those hills many years ago. Thank you for sharing it.
Hi Jonathan, Great that you got a memory blast from our trip. We've always been fortunate with these tops and managed summit views on every visit. It would be a shame to make the effort and not see anything. Many thanks for watching. Cheers
Fabulous!
Hello, Glad you enjoyed viewing our Fisherfield outing. It was a cracking day. Many thanks. Cheers
Stunning scenery Charlie its a magical place and the weather on spot as well cant wait to get back up to attempt them hopeful the weather might be better than the last time. ATB Ally
Hi Ally, It certainly makes for an easier day when the weather is on your side 👍 Cheers
Got these to do , bike is deffo a bonus , great vid as always, cheers from Brechin👍
Hi 45ltr, Yes, the bike definitely helps having walked in/out on a few other occasions it's a bonus. A bit of pushing required to get up to the Heights of Kinlochewe but not much. Cheers
What a great way to approach those hills. We cycled up past the heights of Kinlochewe one evening last year and enjoyed a double rainbow I believe the Cape Wrath Trail uses the same footpath as you did to get to Lochan Fhada. The path looked to be very good and the weather was kind once again. Fisherfield is a special place, and the view from Ruadh Stac Mhor down the line of lochs to Carnmore is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Graham, I agree Fisherfield is certainly a bit special and holds many memories for us. The views need to be seen as the camera just doesn't do them justice.
We passed a few tents in the morning going in of the hardy soles on the CWT and they would have had an enjoyable day heading out towards An Teallach. A terrific area.... Cheers
Yet another excellent video, Charlie. Thanks for posting.
Hi Rosa, Really glad you enjoyed this one. Getting to these remote tops certainly helps when the weather is so nice. I think we'll get a shock when the Scottish norm kicks back in 🤣 Cheers
What a perfect adventure. My legs won't allow me to peddle as I used to, but thinking an e-bike might be nice...just like the idea of being able to bike and hike. Great mix. Such beautiful views and especially with the low clouds hanging in on the tops! Excellent! Bruce and Otis
Hi Bruce & Otis, Getting into Lochan Fada is a trip worth making... you won't be disappointed. Cheers
Looks very dry up there, Charlie. Reminds me of my first sight of those three in 1988, from Slioch.
My second or third Munro. Remember thinking Will I ever get there. Thanks again. Impressive day.
Hi Geoffrey, Yes, not a lot of water in the hills following this dry spell. I’m sure it won’t last 😂 These tops are harder than the norm and have walkers planning a variety of options for getting them done. Probably, not to many groups like that. Cheers
Another fine walk chaps 👍
Hi Kev, You just can't fail when the weather is like this and you get opportunities for some distance stuff. Cheers
So beautiful. Brings back so many memories for us. We did them differently, so wonderful to see them done this way. Just stunning xx
Hi Patricia, Glad you had a memory blast from this one. These tops are a wee bit harder to get than most but the rewards of classic views are breathtaking. Many thanks for watching. Cheers Charlie
Thank you again, A' Mhaighdean probably my favourite. We were on there in July 2001, it's unforgettable Heaven. and the Corbetts, Ben Lair etc. The view of the Deargs from Shenaval, what an area. Thank You
Hi Vanessa, Its easy to understand why A' Mhaighdean would be your favourite 👍.. it's a superb viewpoint. The tops in this remote area don't disappoint. Cheers
Hey Charlie, what a grand bike and hike journey that was, great weather made for fantastic views, also bringing back the memories with your father, am certainly grateful for the man who took you guys out, so mike and yourself can keep the journey going and share with us, you have certainly helped me on mine, thanks again and look forward to the adventure, cheers James,
Hi James, Really glad you enjoyed this one. It was a cracking day, very warm with no wind. My dad loved in at Lochan Fada and would walk in with us and camp even when he had finished the hills. Great days... Cheers
Great video once again, really enjoyable with fabulous scenery. Appreciate your effort and letting us share your journey, giving us the chance to experience these remote Munro’s. Thank you. 👍
Hi Les, Glad you enjoyed this one. It certainly helps getting settled weather on these remote tops. Many thanks... Cheers
A superb video, Charlie with so many stunning views. A great bike‘n‘hike! Thanks for sharing. Take care. Cheers Wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang, I see your recent Scotland visit went well and really glad the weather allowed plenty of outdoor activities. Many thanks for you continued viewing. Cheers Charlie
Interesting approach Charlie, food for thought 🤔 absolutely amazing views all around but especially from A'Mhaigdean 😮 another top video 👌 atb Brian 👍
Hi Brian, They are quite an awkward group to get at but camping by Lochan Fada was always our option when completing the six in a day. Now, by splitting them into three its even more unlikely we would come at them from the north. The trick is picking a weather day that gives views out to sea as its worth all the effort. Hope you get them next visit... Cheers
Afternoon gnets, fantastic video again, what stunning views. I noticed last week when I was in Coniston hills, the rivers, gills and becks were so so low of water, some didn't have any in at all. Thank you so much for sharing your day and those stunning views. Cheers Dave
Hi Dave, The hills are bone dry which is a bit unusual for Scotland. It's doesn't help that every river is well controlled for power generation. I'm sure it won't last to long 😀 Cheers
Superb, 👏👏👏 great day for a bike and hike, great spell of weather giving fantastic views..can't beat it
Hi Barrie, Yes, we are going to get a shock once the weather reverts back to traditional Scot's 🤣 Cheers
Fantastic video as always. Great route! Thanks for sharing. One I will definately copy.
Hi Debbie, Glad you enjoyed yesterdays outing and I'm sure you'll enjoy it when you get around to it. Cheers
Fabulous. I haven't been to Fisherfield. Thanks for this
Hi Annie, I’m sure you’ll enjoy these once you get around to them. Just a wee bit harder to get at than normal. Cheers
Really enjoy your videos Charlie they are excellent retirement my self shortly so hopefully more time on the hills for me your videos are inspirational
Hi Kevin, Glad you enjoy our outings. You'll certainly enjoy retirement for the opportunity to get out through the week and a bigger choice of weather days 👍 I always felt the good days were through the week and things would go downhill on a Friday 🤣 Enjoy it when it comes.... Cheers
Nice one guys. Great views and overview of the route, i'm hoping to do them the same way when the time comes. Nice to see you can get quite far in with the bike too. Cheers.
Hi Andy, It’s always been our preferred route for these tops and the path which is suitable for a bike is a bonus. Cheers
Another cracking trip. I've always went in from Sheneval, but this looks really interesting.
BTW, ye let yer fitness secret out in the last one. Fruit Pastels. I knew the pair o ye were up to something 😆
Hi David, Oddly enough I've never gone at these hills from Sheneval with the other routes being our preferred option.
The fruit pastels are like having a sugar bomb when taken are the right time 🤣 Cheers
Amazing Charlie! Been looking at various ways of doing these and this looks cracking!! I was hoping for a nap at the end. 😂
Great views and such a beautiful area! Maybe next year for me!
Cheers again.
Paul
Hi Paul, There are a few various way of getting at these hills. In years past, we have preferred from Kinlochewe and camping at Lochan Fada before completing the six tops in a day.
We now split the group and use the east route (previous upload) for the three tops at that end.
A terrific remote area which you'll enjoy. Cheers Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks Charlie! I think that’s what I will aim for. Frank and I have been chatting about that with maybe an overnight camp!! Are you nearing the end of another round?
@@PAADVENTURES1 We've 5 to go... a visit into Knoydart and a couple of singles 👍
@@charliemccartney7055 fantastic!!!
I’m starting to sound like a scratched record. That route is also the route I was planning so great to see it on camera and get an idea of the scale of it. You guys are sure getting a good run of fabulous weather at the moment.
As always I really enjoyed watching your video.
Keep em coming Charlie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
Hi Timothy, Its great were tracking similar targets as getting a bit of knowledge about routes is never a bad thing. Really, hope you get similar weather conditions as it does make a difference for these remote Munros. Cheers
Lochan Fada was my last camp in the hills. Braw hills there and a favourite place for me . I really enjoy your filmmaking so many thanks for sharing ATB
Hi John, What a stunning last camp for you... its such a terrific area which holds some magic memories for us. Really glad you enjoy watching our outings, just hope this weather holds for a bit longer. Cheers
Nice one Charlie, fair enjoyed watching that. Cheers!
Hi Alan, Glad you enjoyed yesterdays outing… it was a cracker. Cheers
Another excellent video. You showed off the scenery very well. I have very little chance of doing them, so I do them by proxy lol. I am struck by the clear paths that are emerging on most of the remote Munros!
Hello, Your more than welcome to tag along with us 👍. The hills are certainly a lot more popular now than a few years ago which is great to see. Cheers
Absolutely wonderful video of these extraordinary hills. Looked like there was a very substantial drop between each of the Munros, which never seems to trouble you but which left me feeling apprehensive! Anyway, the light and the sharpness of the picture made this a really special one to watch. Thanks for sharing again. Best wishes, Murdo
Hi Murdo, There are a few ups and downs but I didn't think it was any worst than the norm. It makes a difference having warm settled weather as you're happy to stop for a breather and a look around before continuing. A terrific day which was a bonus as we are unlikely to be in that way again with them being remote tops. Cheers
Some amazing views there! I read that Ruadh Stac Mor is one of the remotest Munros. It just makes Munro height at 919 metres. As you say, the views are up there with best. Great video.👍
Hello, Its certainly remote and takes a good few hours of walking but the views are worth the effort. Glad you enjoyed tagging along. Cheers
Superb Charlie,fantastic hike.
We had to bail on Sgùrr Bàn a few weeks ago due to bad weather and the weather has been fantastic every day since.😢. Thanks for sharing mate they looked amazing
ATVB Tam
Hi Tam, I saw your aborted trip and it's really frustrating when things don't go to plan but it was pretty wild and you made the sensible decision. It's shit when you build up to it and things fall through, particularly when the weather has been so nice since. You'll get them next visit I'm sure 👍Take care... Cheers Charlie
Brilliant Charlie & Mike, 1st class production and they views were spectacular.👍 think I’ll be camping at lochan Fada when I do the 3 eastern ones. Could you get your bike right up to the lochain Charlie.?
Well done again lads.
ATB
Frank.
Hi Frank, Yes, the path goes all the way to the lochan. There’s a few drainage channels and a couple of rough bits but not too bad. Terrific area for these remote tops 👍 Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks Charlie, look forward to your next outing.👍
Some superb views and great editing. Last time we headed up to Gleann na Muice the gate in the deer fence was locked. Did you have to lift your bikes over?
Hi munrotop, There was no problem with the gate on this visit as it was open. Great area and the bike just makes the single day possible. Cheers
Thanks for another great video Charlie. It seems an unusual way to climb these 3, I haven't done them, but plan to cycle like you did from Kinlochewe and climb A'Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mor together, camp overnight at Loch Fada then do Beinn Tarsuinn, Sgurr Ban and Mullach coire Mhic Fearchair the next day. It must have been hard work between Beinn Tarsuinn and A'Mhaighdean?
Hello, The walk from Beinn Tarsuinn and A'Mhaighdean isn't to bad as it just a gradual rise once down off the top You'll enjoy getting into this area as its terrific. We've had some big days in there having camped at the east end of Lochan Fada. I really hope you are blessed with settled weather for the trip. Enjoy.... Cheers
Charlie Thanks for the videos. Am new to walking in Scotland and these are so helpful. Am in my 60s. Never liked descents and my confidence is decreasing. Wondered about walking poles. Will they help? Any advise welcomed. Thanks
Hi Jane, I won't be walking anything like as much without the poles as my knees aren't great and they definately benefit from the additional support particularly coming downhill. They also help with balance and rhythm on the level and going uphill. Give them a try and I'm sure you'll enjoy the benefits with a bit of practice.
I was one of the critics when they first appeared but I wouldn't be without them now.... go for it.
Cheers, Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 Thanks Charlie. Appreciate the advice.
Very interesting route you guys have done here, good to see an alternative way to do them..
Great vid, always a joy to watch..
What happened to your map at the start ?
Hi itsablack, I forgot all about the map.... I'll revert back to the normal script next time 🤣 Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 👍😂
Enjoy your videos Charlie, can you tell me if you had to lift your bikes over any fences to get in?
Hi Mike, No, we had no issues with fences and had a straight cycle in. Have a great trip when it comes around. Cheers
