Camping in the Mountains | A Multi-Day Adventure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2022
- Welcome back to another Outdoor Intrigue adventure! We're out for 6 days exploring the far north west of the Scottish Highlands. Join us for our first stop - The Fannichs!
We have unfinished business with these Munros, after heavy snow and harsh conditions forced us to bail out of in 2020. This time, the weather's scorching hot and with over 17 hours of daylight we had plenty of time to bag 7 new Munros and enjoy all the stunning scenery this part of Scotland has to offer.
The route was split over two days, covering 50.27km and 2,400m of ascent, bagging:
An Coileachan
Meall Gorm
Beinn Liath Mhòr Fannaich
Sgùrr Mòr
Meall a' Chrasgaidh
Sgùrr nan Clach Geala
Sgùrr nan Each

See you out there.
Scottland has so many amazing places to explore, you might have found one of the best, thanks for the look around.
Thanks for watching! It really is an incredible place.
Late to the party but the colors and vistas on this one guys were almost other worldly. Fitting that you should sleep out as opposed to under the canvass. It brings you closer to the vibrancy of it all. Wow, it just didn't stop giving - what a fantastic stroll over the mountains on a perfect couple of days out. Loving that deer - got the right idea for sure. Good going both. All the best. Mark
Thanks Mark! It really was a treat that trip. Looking forward to some colder adventures now. Hope your well mate.
@@OutdoorIntrigue A pleasure. It's one to remember for sure. Hey, I know you like it either way - see you out there.
What s stunning sunset and morning.
It was such a beautiful week! Need to get around to editing the rest of the footage, but we were well and truly treated with the conditions. Appreciate you watching and commenting ☺️🙏🏼
@@OutdoorIntrigue yes it looked stunning but you wish it would last a lot longer eh
@@summitwithstevie6934 Always wish it lasted longer.
Nice one guys, what a stunning trip on the Fannichs . I see Kev and Robin have already said we camped on the same spot .. Brill guys ..Great to meet you a few weeks back at Robins meet .. cheers Stevie
Hey Stevie 👋🏼, it’s a cracking area that and a great wee camp spot. Hopefully see you at the next meet up mate.
..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Cheers mate!! Appreciate the love 😊
@@OutdoorIntrigue Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….
Wow, what a sunset, and in the morning the inversion with the clouds tumbling and flowing downhill over the mountains was amazing. Lovely vid guys.
Thanks Michael! Special sunset wasn’t it! The clouds pouring over in that early light were just dreamy too. Appreciate you watching and commenting 🙏 😊
Hi, nice meeting up with you again on the munros An Sgarsoch & Carn an Fhidhleir Sunday there.
This was an epic video and conditions for you were sublime.
Sunset & sunrise were both spectacular and loved the clouds spilling over the mountain.
I’ve subbed your channel and I’ll work my way thru watching the rest of your vids.
ATB Frank 👍🏔🥾
Hey Frank 👋🏼
Was lovely bumping into you again, what a small world! How was the rest of your trip?
We lucked out on this one, the weather was amazing, albeit a bit too hot for us 😂 still have the footage from the next 4 days to get editing, but life keeps getting in the way.
Hopefully see you out on the hills again in the future. Thanks for subbing too, looking forward to seeing your drone footage from the Cairngorms 🙏🏼
@@OutdoorIntrigue yeh it is a small world🤣 the rest of my day turned out good, the tops cleared by the time I got to the summits so the views were really good, look forward to watching the rest of your footage from your trip when you get around to downloading them.
ATB Frank👍🏔🥾
Aboot time yis got this up. 😉 Was looking forward to it. What a trip guys. Looked good on the big Roger Mellie. 📺That cloud pouring over the ridge. Oooft 😎 You Camped at the same spot me, Robin & steve Camped, on the Munro Top. Love the Fannichs
Hey Kev 👋🏼, it was great fun, and brilliant conditions, if a little hot for us 😂. I’m not surprised we picked the same camp spot as you guys, it’s pretty ideal. Really good route, long old walk in from the Loch Fannich side when doing the 7 though. You and Robin off on any adventures soon? Happy trails.
@@OutdoorIntrigue aye it was nice and flat up there. Hopefully next weekend maybe. Fancy the NW but high pressure building from the SW so looking better in the East maybe. 🤔
@@Kev_Russ Hope you guys got out in the end. Can I expect a video?
@@OutdoorIntrigue Robin got out chasing Corbetts. The only thing that was chasing me was covid. 🤒😷 On the mend now tho.
@@Kev_Russ ahh sh1t mate!! Hope you’re fighting fit soon 🙌🏼
Top conditions guys, almost a carbon copy of the weather we got. Camped at the same spot as us too. 😁 It's a fine location. 🏕
Great conditions, great spot, so funny that it was the same as you gents! Hope you’re all good mate!
Fantastic film. That sunset was absolutely epic, a cloud inversion in the morning… a pretty good jaunt guys. 👍🏼
Thanks Dougie, it was an awesome Sunset and the morning inversion was just icing on the cake! Thanks for watching and commenting and happy trails! Atb Ben & Megs.
@@OutdoorIntrigue It reminded me of Table Mountain in ZA, it was like that almost every morning. Cheers guys.
@@dougieranger They call it the table cloth, I was born and grew up in Cape Town as it happens (Ben this is) it’s a beautiful place too.
@@OutdoorIntrigue Indeed they do call it the Tablecloth. I holidayed there for a while in Carsten Street in Tamboerskloof. Then near the 12 apostles, I loved Cape Town.
@@dougieranger Lovely, near lions head, that’s a good view point 👌🏼. I was born in Wynberg and spent a fair bit of time in Kalk Bay amongst other places.
Absolutely stunning scenery. Appreciate tagging along guys ☺️
Stay safe and well,
Adge.
It’s beautiful area! Thanks for watching and take care. Happy trails 🙌🏼
As per, what an amazing video yet again from you two! Was buzzing to see the full video of this after watching your insta stories from this camp. Unbelievable scenes!
Thanks Max! The far north is just incredible, so much space and so many great mountains. Conditions were unreal, nice to be able to sit out of an evening, doesn’t happen that often in the Scottish mountains 😂
Epic…
Looks a solid shelter as well, that sunset was beautiful… well done guys 👍👏
It was part of a big few days. So enjoyable. The little Terra nova voyager Superlite is a solid tent, bit small for two really though. Absolutely cracking hills those. Hope you are well, appreciate you watching 🙏
A scorcher at 20c? I keep my down on until about 22 degrees, but then I live in the South East of the USA where most of the summer it is between 32 and40 degrees C. in the summer from June until mid September. We do have seriously cold weather for a few days each year. Sometimes it even hits minus ten, snows and which stays on the ground for a few hours. ;)
Yeah we’d melt!! Our average summer temperature is around 16 degrees usually. We are not hot weather people 😂
Enjoyed. Brilliant morning inversion: no better way to wake up. Did them in similar conditions but later in summer and that wee lochan was a murky puddle sadly. What made you take the voyager? Gordon
Great set of hills aren’t they! Incredible in full winter, we did the two eastern ones in deep snow, just cracking! It wasn’t bad for water sources overall when we were out luckily. Took the Voyager Superlite as it’s tough weather wise and really light, 1.7 kg total. It’s so small though. Planning on replacing it with something else at some point I think. Hope you’re well mate and enjoying the hills!
@@OutdoorIntrigue it’s all good up that way! Interested to see what you go for to replace it. Have had some good trips but need another break in the weather to get some more ideally. Gordon
@@whenigotothemountains1203 Have been looking at the Anjan 2 🤔 possibly.
Where are the trees?
It’s a good question and one more people should ask. Sadly the answer is they were pretty much all destroyed over the last 6000 years, by human need for resources, farming, over grazing, hunting estates, climate change and poor land management.Scotland still has lots of trees but nowhere near as many as it should. Thankfully there is lots of positive work happening in this area and there is so much incredible space and potential in the highlands. 😊
