    I know they say “mad dogs and Englishmen” but you Scots take it up a notch. Impressive walk and filming and the choice of Jupiter for music was a lovely touch. That wee dram on the first night must have been very welcome. G’day from down under .

    Wow, lovely video, great adventure. Reminded me of my youthful adventures, wind on the back whipping rucksack straps around the face and verglas gluing my balaclava to my jacket, feet later thawing out slowly. Soon learnt how to dig drip proof snow holes. A feeling of really being alive, beautiful unspoiled surroundings and testing conditions. Thank you for making the effort to record and share.

    At 6: 12 The choice spot with great views on a very exposed ridge reminds me of three nights of blizzard camping conditions above 2,000m in the winter in the Pyrenees. Excellent fun. But the persising cross wind keep us in doors the three nights instead of out and about. Then when leaving and walking some 800 meters away. The wind dropped. Lol. That's what an exposed ridge can be like. The air (wind) just being forced (condensed) up the mountain side to continue onwards. May be only 200m away and the wind is 20 to 30mph less forcefull. But it was all great fun. Ty for sharing the video.

    • @watchhill6287
      @watchhill6287  6 років тому +8

      Normally, albeit not always, our low western hills go through so many freeze thaw cycles that the snow remains firm and snow shoes are a waste of effort unless you know for certain that they will be useful. Becoming more popular in mid winter in the east if there has been a heavy soft snowfall.
