...the rain started but you know what, perfect timing...
I was thinking Murray that's a large pack for a single night bivvy with no cooking! - then I got thinking that as well as extra water, you're carrying all that filming equipment which we have to thank for bringing us the footage which, as usual, is just staggering. I'm starting to feel that you do this work not just for yourself, but on behalf of the rest of us too - your videos are truly remarkable for their presenter's humility, there's simply no ego in the mix. Great to see you restored to full fitness and enjoying the mountains' ability to bring new joy and adventure whatever else might be going on and however long we keep visiting them.
Thank you David , very kind words This was the first real test after being ill, and it was a great return to staying out for the night on the mountains :) Must admit to feeling a lot better now , thankfully :)

I honestly love your videos. I absolutely adore Glencoe. Whenever we visit, we never want to leave. I'm not a climber myself so this video is the xlosest I will ever get to experiencing these amazing views. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
As always, jealous you have that in the back garden to play with, superb trip and filming.
Absolutely superb. Thankyou. A real treat to watch. That said, the subtitles are a complete hoot.......
What a lovely video thanks Murray I'm very much enjoying catching up on your back catalogue of adventures. What a mountain that is ❤
well done Murray.. at least it didnt rain.. good pictures !!😀😀
Larry Bees thanks Larry - I really cant complain - the weather on the way up the Buachaille was awesome :) was back there last weekend and got my night under the stars with a view to the Buachaille this time :) vlog en route ....

One of the best videos of its genre. Done Curved Ridge myself many years ago. It's a must for a bivvy before the summer is over.
The video shots, the story telling and the edtiing it all was amazing, thanks alot for sharing the video 😅
Classic Murray - what could be better than a scramble and Bivvy on the Buachaille. Stunning evening shots and love that dawn snap. Keep them coming👍
Graham Simpson thanks Graham - it was a cracking adventure and a nice wee combo :) have had the bivvy bag out a few tones now - and got my just rewards with starry nights ( keep tuned - vlogs en route 😉)

It is an effective way of getting away from those tics. Glad to see you moving like a spider over those rocks, perhaps the effect of a great breakfast from the Sky centre?
Fantastic video mate, definitely one for the climbing calendar 👍
Fantastic.
Amazing video..Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing .
alan scott Thanks Alan
What a marvelous adventure! You would have laughed if you'd seen me; watching the head cam video of the first scramble. I was exclaiming, out loud, " whoa, WHOA!". My first sight of the Buachaille was from a bus headed down the A82. There was a heavy cloud at the summit and it looked for all the world like an active volcano. My daughter was napping, and I said, " wake up, you've got to see this." What an incredible, awe inspiring place.
1980's since I last used Curved Ridge. It is still as spectacular as I recall. My wife and I drove past last week on a return from Skye but the clag was so heavy we were unable to see anything. Thank you for these videos
Superb photos!
Fantastic video. Been up the Buachaille 10d ago through the coire. Was fantastic. Made a short video.! Keep it up ! Max
thanks Max - its a grand location and a superb iconic mountain :)

Great video Murray, be doing curved ridge myself soon. You’re very lucky you live within Scotland! I’ve always wondered what the backing tune is on your drone footage, it’s very fitting for the drone work 👍
Fantastic film...loved it.
thanks and Thanks for watching

Murray
Fab, thanks!
I live in London...
And mean to do this at christmas, before moving on to Ben Nevis and doing the CMD Arete.
Then.venturing into the Cairngorns for the first time.
Big pack and winter gear.
You are so lucky living in Perthshire, i have got to Skye twice only in two years.
Over night train to Fort William.
You inspired me to go north two years ago, by watching your videos.
Now I have brought kit for two years, climbed in the Sierra Nevada last january.
But scotland is dramatically beautiful. And i'm forever worrking out train times, lengths of journeys and planning would be expeditions.
Inspiring work.
Well done.
Good luck for your adventure Andrew - hope the weather shines for your trip

GREAT video !!! loved the dark shadow of the mountain when you where ascending. Thanks for sharing ATB
Yorkie wild camper thanks Yorkie - it was amazing- the shadow grows from and flattens peak to the sharp elongated shape of the Buachaille by the end of the night - was a fantastic wee adventure 👍

Another cracking good video Murray. Great to see you tackle The Buachaille up Curved Ridge again but oh man, that helmet cam......!! We've booked to come back over to the Motherland at the end of next March and hoping to take a wander up Beinn A' Chrulaiste to get some shots of The Buachaille - similar to what you did with Thomas Heaton a while back. Can't wait ;) Cheers from Sydney.
Brian Smith Thanks Brian - hope the weather gods smile for your visit 👍. Stay tuned as I was bivvy camping on Chrulaiste last week and had a magical night watching the stars and the milky way above Glencoe :) will be out in a few weeks that one 👍

That was absolutely sublime. The evening views were breathtaking, and I’ll tell you, you’ve got big kahunas having a big pack on doing C.R. I did it in the mist but was kinda glad as it masked any exposure (cue chicken noises). Shame the dawn didn’t quite deliver because if it did, I think you’d be emailing this outing to BBC Scotland. Brilliant as ever 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Del - yeah I was hoping for a little nicer sunrise , but hey ho , it was still smashing trip :)

Great video i done The Buachaille yesterday for the very 1st time up the main gully mist came down we got lost and could not find the route back down luckily we seen 2 older English gentlemen who showed us the path the main gully down was very steep at the start i take my hat of to anyone who does the curved ridge i would never tackle that but well done you made it look very easy 👏
Absolutely nailed it Murray. What an evening. 👌🏼 Been considering buying a bivi bag myself, maybe the Alpkit Hulka one. Certainly has its advantages.
Walk With Wallace 👣 thanks Robin - was thinking about investing in a decent bivvy bag after a few recent bivvy adventures , however this old cheap one seems to be fine . Did get a lot of condensation on one trip but last weekends bivvy wasn’t too bad - thinking of doing a wee vlog to outline my thoughts 🤔

@@ScotlandsMountains vlog would be a good idea. Would you not prefer if your mat fitted inside for extra peace of mind? Tyvek is excellent too for a groundsheet, if you know someone in the building trade, get them to cut you a 2m strip.
Have enjoyed watching all your videos but that was simply fantastic .....
Sandy Robb thanks Sandy - hope you enjoyed it 👍
The subtitles are hysterical!
Wow love the shadow of The Buachaille what a view i always thought about going up there. Some great drone footage mate. Thanks richard
4 season backpacking thanks Richard - it is well worth the visit - the location, right on the edge of Rannoch mood makes it even Mor special 👌👌⛰⛰👍👍👍

@@ScotlandsMountains i watch alot but your's is always one i go to... there is a guy called black crag who does the lake district i find your's and his videos are very similar in enthusiasm content and good solid information ... keep up the good work
When I see you climbing up towards the camera, I realise that you've already climbed up there, set the camera, then gone back down to climb up again. The magic of television!
Nice one Murray! Not done the Buachaille by this route yet, heard one of the hardest parts is finding it! Well done doing it with the big pack on as well! Another great one!! Cheers. Kris.
Scottish Mountain Goat thanks Kris - it’s got to be one of the best days out anywhere I. Scotland - Curved Ridge is an absolute belter :) 👌

Amazing footage as always Murray, thanks for sharing! We just returned from Scotland and whilst walking the devils staircase and on to Stob Mhic Mhartuin, I looked in awe of Buachaille Etive Mòr... what an absolute beauty!

@@ScotlandsMountains been to the summit once but not via curved ridge the views were stunning
A grand adventure like the new colours walking gear
¡Qué bonito! 👏👏👏👏Excellent!! Beautiful!!!
Great footage.super scrambling particularly with that big pack.respect my man.
Cracking wee film again👍
How sublime and inspiring. Been up there once, have to say I loved the views from stob dearg but much preferred stob na broige as a viewpoint looking down glen Etive. Would love to go back there soon. Thanks again Murray ;D
Hugh McCann Thanks Hugh - I think the views anywhere in Glencoe are stunning :) got another vlog in a few weeks (editing it today ) with my favourite view :)
Stay tuned 😉

That's a few people I've saw climb the curved ridge recently and definitly one I want to tackle next year when the fairer weather returns.
It was good to see you in the old Army bivvy bag. I've spent many a night in one of those and swear by their robustness, absolutely brilliant bits of kit that you dont need to be afraid to throw around.
Thanks for another great outing 👍🏻
It wasnt too expensive either - seems to be doing the job ok - had two more bivvy adventures since I was away on the Buachaille in this film , and the bag has been adequate :)
Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains I'm looking forward to seeing those outings too.
That bag should last you a grand few adventures.
One of my experiences saw me in Canada opening the bag to find I was fully submerged in snow. Between the bivvi bag and sleeping bag I was none the wiser 🥵
Again, thanks for the video and looking forward to more of the same 👍🏻

Another great video, lovely evening views. 👍
Hello, I just subscribed and wanted to say thank you for these incredible videos, it's a real pleasure to see the stunning landscapes from your perspective!! Wow! Such raw beauty that is Scotland, I cannot wait to come back again!! Thanks again for sharing!

@@ScotlandsMountains my sincere pleasure friend YW
What a brilliant day/night out, cloudy sunrise notwithstanding! Everything looks so peaceful in the evening sunlight. I went up Curved Ridge for the first time two weeks ago (with a guide), and I'm glad I didn't see that head camera footage before then! 😆
Its a wonderful route, although the fish eye effect of the gopro makes it look worse than it is :) Hope yo had a good day when you were up it :)

Wow - I have been waiting for this one. My favourite mountain in Glen Coe. It's refreshing to see views from the top versus Bein a 'Chrulaiste. Those head cam shots on the way up looked a little racy for me :) Fabulous video and wild camp - thanks for taking us all along Murray!
Thank You - stay tuned for another Bivvy - but from Chrulaiste ;) in the coming weeks :)

I was working in West Hampstead recently, I asked for directions to the coffee shop, and was told it was on the green. To my amazement the green turned out to be a patch of land the size of a snooker table !!
I’ll be looking out for you next time I’m up a Scottish mountain on my bike !! Before I go, when it comes to finding places to stay check out University accommodation in the area it’s very cheap and it will have some where to eat along with laundry facilities etc !! Great video!
Totally perfect video for all of the many who would love to do what you do, but can’t for various reasons. Keep going👍👍👍
Really amazing content mate. Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyed that.
Aw man, top drawer adventure Murray , loved it. PS. Do you do any work ? ! A
Andrew Park Thanks Andrew - this is my release from the daily rat race 😂👍 find getting out and being a weekend warrior in the hills de-stresses me from the weekly grind :) wish I had more time as I would easily spend all my days wandering the Scottish Highlands :)😂

nice hill climb
That looks fairly ambitious...well done!
Great video. Brought back memories of when I went up CR at 6am one day - had a fantastic day going down one side of Glencoe and back up the other.
Graham Jones lovely - and I bet you had it to yourself - early bird catches the worm and all that 👌👍

@@ScotlandsMountains - there are harder routes but as a scramble by yourself it rates 10/10 in the atmosphere stakes!
Fantastic adventure, Murray! In May this year, I managed to climb Curved Ridge (and the Aonach Eachach) whilst visiting from Canada. Would have been wonderful to bivy on the summit - perhaps next time! Cheers, and keep up the good work!
And now I feel stupid for spelling "Eagach" wrong, never mind my pronunciation... *eyeroll*
Kevin Swanson thanks Kevin - Both amazing routes - hope you had fun when you were over 👌👍⛰

Fantastic Murray. Was impressed at you lugging the big rucksack up the too. I still have plans to do curved ridge at some point and would love to make my first Munro on the Scottish mainland. I’ve done Pinnacle Ridge and the In Pinn, etc on Skye, both guided, but I do have some concerns about the scramble and with route finding on the ridge itself, as I’ll be doing it on my own. The 600 mile round trip also takes some planning with regard to the weather. Great vid, thanks for sharing. Love it 😎👍
Thanks David... Curved Ridge is an absolute belter of a day out, cant recommend it enough. If you go on a dry day at the weekend, I am sure you would be amongst quiet a few people heading up here.... However it can be a little troublesome finding it , first time and if the mist is down !

Would love to bivi at summits myself, Maybe one day :)) I wish the Curved Ridge went to the cairn, It's a great scramble but all too quick and over i think. Still one of the best routes in Glencoe i would say. Another classic film Murray, Thanks for showing it :))))

Really enjoy watching your vids keep it up 👍
Great video Murray, i never did stay overnight on the summit, i only did curved ridge in the summer with several winter accents in winter up the coire, loved your video coming up over curved ridge, its a shame i will never experience this outing again, but your vlogs bring all my trips back to life again..... well done...thanks from roasting hot Philippines
Thanks Ian - its a lovely route up the mountain (probably my favourite ) Warming up a little here at the moment but unlikely to be anywhere as warm as where you are :)

Another great video, thanks for sharing your adventure. Not convinced about the bivvy bag though, think I’ll stick to ⛺️ 😁

Recently found your channel and loving it - thanks for helping inspire many adventures. I had my first bivvy experience recently on the summit of Beinn Fhada on Mull, followed by a spectacular day following the ridge to Ben More via A'Chioch. Don't think I've ever tasted porridge as good as the bowl I had for breakfast on the summit that morning!
Pete food always tastes so much better on an adventure on top of a mountain ⛰ 👌👍

Great stuff Murray - another unique wild camp. Been up Curved Ridge a couple of times and wondered about the slope off to the left at the top of the ridge scramble. Think I'll head to the summit that way next time. I made the mistake of heading up D Gully Buttress as well - a solo trip in the early morning mist. Had to down-climb a fair distance to get back on track - pretty dodgy stuff. How about next time you camp on the Rannoch Wall using a porta-ledge? You read it here first people ; )
Thanks Dizzy 👍 not too sure about the portal ledge camp tho 😂😂😵😵
Just catching up as back home. That is a great spot for a camp and one of my favourites I have had. however I had taken the slightly easier route up ;) Atb
Renegade Scot cheers Ray - looking forward to your next vid - the photos looked awesome
Catch up soon

@@johnmudd6453 lol
Outstanding! I WANT to do this so bad! Is it easy to find the route. I'm worried about getting lost and then stranded up there. LOL
This one gave me sweaty palms!
My heart always beats a little bit faster when I see footage like this of Buachaille! This must have been an amazing experience!! Thanks for sharing. I noticed something else: KIngshouse Hotel asked for my opinion after I stayed at their bunkhouse in May and I told them that the lighting at night is too strong and not necessary. Now I see they haven't done anything about it :-) !
Hetty van der Klis it was certainly visible from the top of the mountain 🤔 maybe they aren’t allowed to turn the lights down perhaps ??
Thanks for watching
Murray
Maybe, but they have 2 or 3 outdoor lamps that are almost as strong as floodlights and those are ease to spot both in your film and on one of the photos. I'll tell them again next time :-)!
Hope you left nothing behind ! but you're foot prints thank you for the post
