    Nearly six years since I walked up Coire Lair in memory of my late wife who died in an accident July 1992.
    She loved the area and we used to walk and scramble when we could on high days and holidays. This is wonderful footage. Very moving for me. Thank You!

    Absolutely stunning video. I remember, some years ago, I did this the other way round. As I was coming off the summit of Liath I went arse over elbow on the rocky path. My wife wet herself laughing because I was one of those clucking safety hens to my wife ("be careful here, be careful there")! So memorable with that stunning drone footage.

    A fabulous area as you say, and I like that you mention the Corbetts, all of which are of the same calibre. Fuar Tholl is a natural extension of your round and is probably the most spectacular of the three. Well you have good reason to return for all the Corbetts in the area, and a few lower ones beside.

    Gorgeous views! These are two Munros I cannot wait to climb - but as you say, we are spoilt in this country and I've so many other things planned I'll probably put them off for another year! One of my plans is to climb one or two of the easiest Cuillins, to get a feel for the ridge before I do the more difficult ones with a guide, or guides because I love climbing so much I want to take my time over them! But I'm looking forward to your video of doing the ridge.

    James, have you considered a water filter system versus carrying 1kg per litres of water? I use a Grayl Geopress and have filtered from cattle troughs, surface puddles, tarns, Loch Lomond itself etc without a single issue. Used it last on Tuesday in the Brecon Beacons while pushing 44km in the first day of Storm Noah. Invaluable for endurance and surviving remote locations if you get weathered in.

    • @ScottishMunroJourney

    Back in the 90s the football stadium disasters of the 80s were still fresh in everyone’s mind and with the introduction of all seater stadiums with a better fan experience, disorderly behaviour was less prevalent in stadiums - I think lockdown has played its part and the younger generation of fans realise that ineffective stewarding can allow them to push the boundaries but it’s a much wider issue than football
