Grief Mountain - Conival and Ben More Assynt - March 2024

- Опубліковано 7 бер 2024
- A winter hike up two munros in Sutherland which I had climbed on two previous occasions; Conival and Ben More Assynt. I undertook this remote solo walk to help with the grieving process after the death of my mother. The wind on the day was very strong and on the ridge it became ferocious. One of the gusts caught me and blew me down a slope where I fell and hit a boulder under the snow. The injury to my left arm required hospital treatment. Video is captured using gopro and some 4k drone footage. Thanks for watching and please consider commenting, liking, and subscribing. ATB Kenny
I have included a link to an earlier video captured in 2015 with more snow coverage. • Conival and Ben More A... - Розваги

Hi Kenny, so sorry to hear about your Mum mate, sincere condolences to you and your family.
What a stunning day, although a tad windy, lovely views. I do love Assynt, it’s a stunning part of the country, I think the best. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure. Hope your arm is on the mend.
All the best, Dave
Thanks Dave, You are right about Assynt, such an unspoilt and beautiful area..ATB Kenny
Sorry for your loss. I felt that moment when my mum passed away as well. I always feel she's urging me to carry on hiking when I'm on the Mountains as she loved looking at my photos of Scotland's Mountains. Fantastic upload.

Sorry for your loss Kenny .
thank you Neil. ATB Kenny
I'd certainly enjoy the earlier part of the hike and those views, but the snow and wind...I'm thinking that would do it for me and might have even blown me right off! lol I know the feeling though of having to just get away...had to do a similar thing after my own mom's sudden passing. Take good care of yourself and continue these great adventures!
thank you for watching the video and taking time to offer positive feedback. ATB Kenny
Thank you for the video. Sorry for the loss of your mother. I have 2 coincidences with you. I lost my mother not long before I climbed this in August 23. I went up in very powerful winds. I got blown over twice. You could hear the wind smacking the buttress's like an artillery shell! I made it to Conival, but the cloud and wind were impossible, had a view of 3 meters on top so missed out Ben More Assynt 👍 ATB, Angus
Thanks for watching the video Angus and taking time to comment. Wow what coincidences... hopefully you were not hurt and get better weather on your next trip. ATB Kenny.
Sorry for your loss. And hope your arm is on the mend now. ATB Karl
Thank you Karl. ATB Kenny
So sorry for your loss Kenny. I know how you feel. I lost my mum, gran and dad within 10months of each other. Abd like yourself I had to deal with the finances etc of my mum & dad.
If it gives you any comfort. Life does go on and you will, in your own time, learn how to accept it and move forward.
Brilliant video as per Kenny.
Thank you Wes for watching the video and taking time to provide feedback and support. Sorry for your loss too as that must have been very tough. ATB Kenny
Hi Kenny, our condolences on your loss ❤ As you are well aware, the hills really are a place you can escape to and find some solace. I hope this trip helped in some small way.
That elbow looks a bit nasty, you aren't half having a bad run of luck with injuries recently, hopefully that turns soon!
Loved the drone shot where it was backing into the cloud looking off to sunshine and blue skies, very dramatic. Thanks for sharing. ATB and take care Kevin & Rebecca
Thank you both for watching the video and taking time out to offer positive feedback and words of support. Yeah hoping that is the end of the bad run..will see how next one goes. ATB Kenny
Sorry to hear the sad news Kenny, hope things are getting easier. Certainly an adventurous outing this one, hope the elbow is on the mend. All the best, Paul
thank you Paul for watching the video and taking time out to comment and offer supporting feedback. ATB Kenny

Ben More Assynt one that got away, sadly. But why the metric heights?
