Wowzer James, another great adventure. Thank you buddy, Neil & Rachel.
I agree! The terrain on the ridge is tough and much slower than it looks. You had great weather again
This is a great achievement, or will be once complete. One that no one can ever take from you.
I would like to thank you for taking us on this journey, the videos have been absolutely stunning and I for one have enjoyed each and every one. Looking forward to the others and to seeing you complete this journey.
Came here to say exactly the same thing. The transformation from the original videos is astonishing. Not just a physical journey but a creative one too. Would love to see those original peaks get the same treatment as these videos, but they're still great to watch. Magnfiicent achievement worthy of any national broadcaster.
Thank you for watching, it has been a great journey, I will be lost when it ends 😂
Thank you for your kind words 😁🏔
Heart wrenchingly stunning! Thanks for this ❤
Well chuffed to see a new video, fast becoming one of my favourite YT channels!!👌🥰
Thank you 😁🏔
That's an absolute epic day out. You've done brilliant there, I was feeling knackered for you! Another great film from you, I'm enjoying your series.
Thanks for watching 😁
Thank you for that. I climbed this with my mate late afternoon and climbed up towards Mhor set up camp and walked over and onto Mhor. My mate was too tired to continue onto Ciche so I virtually ran between the peaks got to the summit stayed for minutes as I felt I had to get back to my friend. So missed the views also darkness was falling and used the wall as navigation. Climbed the third Munro in the morning and then back to the car. So pleased you showed what I missed. Great video.
Your planning and preparation are always evident in your outings. Such a pleasure to watch your videos and see your progress.
Thanks Annie 😁
Wow !! An epic walk !! Must be 25 years ago since I did those three and I remember it being a monumental walk. But I was younger and fitter back then. But you're right. A truly spectacular part of Scotland 🙂.
Thanks for sharing this great trip James. It was fantastic to see these remote peaks again on such a good day. I remember hiking round then in in 1998. Was a long day. We camped near the car park for an early start and left around 7am, back at car for 6pm. Then had to 4 hr drive home for work in the morning! Rock n roll! 😂. ATB Derek
Thanks for watching, its an amazing place, bet you have some great memories from your trip 😁
Did those last year in similar conditions. Amazing.
That first drone shot is the best you've done to date! Congrats
Thank you 😁
Big day out! Great film as always.
Great video, love that part of Scotland, you can get yourself lost if you wanted to escape the rat race.
Who on earth decided to build a wall over 1000 metres up mountains......in Scotland!!
The Destitution Walls
In the 1840s and 1850s, during the Highland clearances, when the people were forced from their lands by rich landowners to make way for sheep farming, with many leaving for America, Canada, Australia, etc. a potato famine struck leaving those that were left behind starving. Too proud to beg for charity, which the rich landowners had refused anyway, they were forced to work with little or no purpose, building roads and walls in the middle of nowhere in exchange for food. These were the 'destitution' roads and walls. They still exist across the Highlands to this day, a sad reminder of a blighted history.
@leshamilton7785 Thanks for that. I have heard of them just didn't think they would be built so high up on top of mountain's. Was it a case of separating who owned what land etc?
Great video in arguably the best area in Scotland. Nice to se the views I missed all those years back when I did them so will deffo be going back to do these three in better weather. The end is fast approaching.
Thoroughly enjoyed it! The drone footage was so good. I did this a few years ago in the same direction as you. Remembered breaking a pole coming of the steep descent of the last munro!
Thanks for watching 😁
Enjoyed that as much as you . Two full knee replacements in the last 8 months so hopefully I can achieve a Munro this year . We'll done and keep it up
Thanks for watching 😁 hope you get a munro this year!
Excellent video James.Done the route the same way as urself and was in the clouds for a lot of the ascent up Sgurr na Ciche.Blessed to get to the top and pop out to an amazing Inversion.Ur 1st drone shot was the same as mine so it was awesome to see what the Inversion was hiding for me below.Had to stop same place as urself before the climb up to the 3rd one.Could possibly be one of the hardest ascents I've done as i was gubbed by this point.🥵🥵🤣👍
I also swore I would never drive that Loch Arkaig road again as it gave me that much anxiety and done Sgurr Mor from Loch Quioch side.😱😱😱
Thanks Andy, its a crazy place.. tough going 😂 im in the same boat, don’t really want to do the drive again but I still have Sgurr Mor to do.. I might do it a different way too.. Cheers, James
A great day out enjoyed watching your series. 👍🍻
Thank you 😁
We used to Holiday at the Loch most summers in the sixties and it was very very quiet. Also you can see Squrr na Ciche from most of Loch Arkaig and I always wanted to climb this but it never happened. We did get quite friendly with the gillie and a young family at the end of the loch. Unfortunately it looks like there croft has sadly gone. I'm with you on the area its absolutely stunning
Great vid.. You did the area justice 👍
High on my list these Munros , and i preferred the way you did it, don't fancy the long walk back and the gully descent that walkhighlands prefers..
Ah stunning James! Those drone shots were top drawer mate! Still to do these and had a mind to do them the same way!! Cracking mate! Paul
Thanks Paul 😁 Enjoy when you come to do them!
Aw mate, absolutely stunning. Well done, looked hard going. Now tell me something James, do you actually do anything for a living, or are you sat at home waiting for the best weather, then bosh off you go? Ha. Ha. Watch your sugar intake mate, gives you a rush, then bang your knackered again. Bananas, malt loaf, wholemeal rolls for lunch and a good trail mix with nuts, dates, and dried fruits. Keeps me going all day at 64. Cheers, Ozzy.
Thanks Ozzy, haha I do work unfortunately, I just do crazy shift work so get a good pick of my days off.. usually midweek etc, I do have to reduce my sugar intake I think, I rely on it too much 😂 Cheers, James
@ScottishMunroJourney
Ha, the old shift work. Still at it now at 64. Got out of it for 20 years, then a load of redundancies during covid left our department short of shifters, so I've been roped into it again. Never mind, only 6 months to go then retire.
Been waiting for this one and it didn't disappoint! A wonderful portrait and account of a wonderful day. Was great to meet you up there on the ridge. I'm impressed you did the whole lot in one day. I walked in to Glen Dessarry the day before and camped there. I'm such a lightweight 😂. See you out there on the hills again some time I hope.
Thanks Jim, nice to meet you that day! Haha it was a big day, the walk out was a sore one 😂 we got great weather for it though.. Cheers, James
A great video. As you said there is nowhere like Knoydart in the UK and on a day like you had, no better views in the UK. Fantastic video - thanks. Worth more than 10/10!
Thank you, should have been 11/10 😂
Superb yet again!
Thank you 😁
well played, and what a glorious day. did the same (other way round) last july, and its still the background on the computer. memorable landscape and some excellent scrambling to be had either side of the ridge. even worth the long walk out in the rain and the dark. you're running out of munro's laddie. atb
Great footage!
That’s the kind of weather you want when you go into these areas! Fantastic views, thanks for sharing your adventures.
He usually gets lucky with the weather!
Always 😂
Another good vid mate. Edging closer to completion 👍
Great day out with fantastic weather and photography. Brought back many happy memories of when I did these Munros from Sourlies bothy thirty odd years ago. Have subscribed.

Lovely rugged scenery James. Hardy lads back in the day, going up there everyday to carry rocks around and build a wall.
What a beautiful day you had James and views to die for 😁👍
Incredible walk James, thanks for these great videos. Getting close to the end of the journey now.
Always blows my mind they random walls especially in remote locations like knoydart, who on earth builds them they are everywhere
Its crazy to think how they build them..
Spectacular scenery my friend, this whole mountain range looks absolutely brilliant! 👏
Fabulous video. What a day. Knoydart looks wonderful. Thanks James
Thanks for watching 😁
Brilliant! Thanks!
Thanks James. Keep 'em coming.
Amazing scenery loved the video well done.
Stunning James! Really enjoying your videos and the commentary that goes with them.
Thank you 😁
Fantastic effort. Bucket list trip for sure.
Hi James, wow what a day, some effort that. Well worth it though, what stunning views every which way you looked. Knoydart is a special place. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure
All the best
Dave 😀⛰🥾🏴
Cheers Dave 😁
Fantastic,amazing and beautiful thank you for sharing, well done 👍🏴
Thanks for watching 😁
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. 👍5
Knoydart looks epic. So remote with proper mountains. I've just watched it with my breakfast here in Dubai. I have completed all the Wainwrights in the Lake District. I have only managed 9 munros but plan on exploring more when I get home. Not been as far as Knoydart yet but might have to venture there in the next few years. Cheers for the vlogs. Great to watch them here in desert.
Thanks Stuart, its a great area 😁
Wow that was a hard day. Well done James.
Well done again James, that's exactly the way I did these 3
Thank you 😁
Nice one James. Pretty epic day. Hard fought but worth it. Really enjoy the format / style of your videos. Keep it up matey.
Thank you 😁
Yes awesome one of the best Munro’s but actually all three are cracking. Peaks with wonderful views I did Sgurr na Ciche with its rocky twin Ben Aden it was a tough walk but a fantastic area you captured it well mate well done cheers
Thanks for watching 😁
I've driven not far from Knoydart. I definitely plan to visit one day!
That was a long hot day, but well worth the effort for the amazing views.. It was great to meet you on the trail. All the best. See you in the hills!
Nice to meet you (twice 😂) Tony, we had a fantastic day for this one! Hope it brought back some nice memories for you, hopefully see you in the hills again some time!
wow, amazing. Thanks for sharing this for us. I was actually thinking about this route with my sister, just goes to show...what appears 'doable' from an OS map..in reality....em....
Tough day but worth the effort 😂
Great video James in fantastic weather. The drone shots in particular are stunning. You could have cycled further on the south side of Glen Dessary passing above A Chuil Bothy as far as footbridge in the forest at NM931934 might have shortened your day a little. The twice I have done these hills overnighted in the bothy but still long hard days well done.
Thanks Paul, yes I maybe should have took that route - its a bit of a maze at the start of this walk 😂 Cheers, James
Another awesome video, James! What an incredible place Knoydart seems to be. Close to the end now - any idea what Munro you plan to finish on? Cheers, Tom
Thanks Tom, I have An Teallach still to do, it could be an option to finish them on 😁 Cheers, James
Awesome should make it an eleven
I should have 😂
Great video, love that it was longer for a longer walk. Felt for your thighs! Happy memories and beautiful views, thank you
Brilliant video need to hike in this area someday.
Trying to pick a new hiking backpack what one are you using in the video
Thanks for watching 😁 im using the OEX Vallo Air 36
@@ScottishMunroJourney never heard of that one I got Osprey manta 34 on Sunday getting ready for some more Scottish Munro’s.
Watch all your videos love the drone stuff my favourite thing on my hikes.
Have you done Sgurr Mor , Glen Dessary ? Can't find your vid ..
Should be heading there this Saturday , so I was looking for your g video ...
No I still have to go back for it, a bit of a pain to get to that one 😂
Just amazing James. You make it look so easy. As always, you get the good weather. How many left to do now?
I have been so lucky with the weather 😂 I have 26 to go just now.. cheers, James
@@ScottishMunroJourney brilliant. All the best for the rest 👍🏻
Awesome James, thank you. Quick question. Does all your Beluga Lagoon music come from a single album (if so which one) or do you trawl all their music to find the piece of music which best suits your mood/walk? Again, many thanks
Absolutely fantastic band they have show on bbc I player on their tour of Scotland
Its just a random selection, I try and pick one that suits the footage best - Beluga Lagoon are fantastic so its not hard to find a good track 😂 Cheers, James
How about doing Scottish Corbett Journey after completing the Munros? There is a lack of good videos on Corbetts on UA-cam
Definitely an option 😁 need a name change 😂
Which munro are you finishing on ? Number 282
Still not decided yet, I still have An Teallach so that could be an option 😁
Coincidentally, I did Sgùrr Fiona circular last week and it didn't disappoint. Another option could be to do a easy(ish) Munro and take the dog and the family round with you.
Or a overnight wild camp ⛺️
Won't be long now - all the best finishing off 👍🏻
Good video, however I did hard bit first, easier ( and no bike !!!!!)
Thank you & good effort!
