  • This walks in the munros around the Cairnwell Pass at Glenshee. The weather forecast was for showers with 45mph winds but the day turned out to be quite nice. Great walk and a lot better than our expectations.

    Brilliant again Charlie. I think I am saving these until the winter. I was out in the west yesterday and got soaked and pelted with hail! Cheers Paul

      Paul, It's a great winter venue with the added bonus of the road being kept clear for the skiing. Cheers, Charlie.

    Nice one Charlie, Lovely day for it! Some distance on that route! I love Glen Shee in the winter time. Still got Carn an Tuirc to so so hopefully pay it a visit at some point soon! Thanks again for another great video. Cheers! Kris.

      Scottish Mountain Goat , Kris, I agree Glenshee is a super winter location and just right for the short days. Always an enjoyable outing. Cheers, Charlie

    I have walked these hills but not together. Fascinating to see an accurate hill weather forecast in this time machine walk.

      Hello, many thanks for taking a look at our outing. Typical Scottish weather as we saw the seasons every 20mins. ATB, Charlie.

      Charlie McCartney I thought that would be the case. First Munro? Last? and favourite? Beats my meagre total of five then. 😂 Ben Ghlas, Ben Lawers, Scheihallion Ben More Mull and Ben Nevis. Bit difficult these days from Sussex. My last ambition is to top Suilven next year virus permitting. I have a good collection of Wainwright’s and son has them all.

    • @charliemccartney7055
      @charliemccartney7055  3 роки тому

      Robert Skipworth , Suilven is a great target to have. You’ll enjoy it when it comes round. Certainly, a lot harder when living in the south.
      Best areas are Torridon & Skye but the Munro’s are so varied particularly if you include the seasons as the winter is a bit different. You just got to get out and do it where ever it is. ATB, Charlie

      Charlie McCartney indeed how right you are I was beguiled by Assynt June 19 while supporting our borders residing son’s NC500 cycle including this 71 yo ascending the Bealach Na Ba on his e-bike - still a heck of an undertaking. My late brother, who lived in Perth, worked for the OS in the highlands and though he didn’t complete the Munro’s due to Parkinson’s there was little he didn’t know about the hills. Keep up the good work.

      Matthew, There is a good track/path up onto the full height but just got to be careful if it's cloudy as its a flat summit. The track starts about 100m north from the end of the top car park. You'll enjoy it I'm sure. ATB, Charlie.
