Lovely to see your wife walking with you. The landscape looks so surreal with the inversion and I'm so impressed how you don't lose your bearings but can still name all the mountains. Wonderful!
Thanks Sue, the mountains are like dear friends - lol I always give them a wave from the summits (if I am lucky enough to have views to see them !!);)
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
A fantastic day for us too, and thanks to all three of you. Those silhouettes just charming! What a great adventure.
As always, Murray, you show us and remind us of the wonders of our Land; thank you again. Your films are uplifting and inspiring.
Jerry doesn’t get a wee kiss when you hit the summit 😂
every time - but his contract says it cant be shown on film ;)lol
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
Always special. Quite fortunate that where I live on a hill above 2 valleya in Yorkshire we get them quite regularly throughout Autumn-Spring. Lack decent mountains though!
Still love your videos. It gives me peace and tranquility
Mr & Mrs Scotlands Mountains…. Together M O M E N T S..!! 😊 🙏
not too often we are out together :) in fact last weekend the better half went up a mountain and I was homebound (gammy knee at the moment) - that was a first!!lol

Wonderful cloud inversion.
I had this about two times in the Jura hills in Switzerland. I had slept in my hammock and then woke up just before sunrise - with the "sea of fog" (as we call it in Swiss German) between the Jura hills and the Alps. So stunningly beautiful! :)
sounds wonderful - nothing beats a lovely inversion :)

Special day Murray 👍 was there a week later when it was covered in snow and enjoyable also. Atb, Steve.
Thanks, from mid-Summer in New Zealand, with mid-20s today and a Cyclone expected next week!

P.S. been listening to all my old ML albums since the sad news hit - such a great singer and performer :) RIP
Aww ya big smoothie Murray!! 😁
Such a lovely scene at about 6:15, your wife, dog and you enjoying the view. Thanks for sharing.
Wow stunning views what a day you had beautiful
As always...enjoyed this video Murray. How nice that you got to see this live with your wife. Warm regards from flat, but also beautiful Holland.
It is always a special experience to step out of the clouds into the sunlight. You have some wonderful images from above the mists. Thank you for sharing what was a special day.
Aaw what a great wee video. The Winter Solstice was lovely even at low level, for me, but even better to get the height to see the inversion. What a view. Nice to see your Boss, and is it Lexi ?, sweet pup. Thanks Murray, Alioban
Another great video especially with your wife enjoying that for the first time
Absolutely amazing...such clear weather.
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for posting 👏
Thanks - very much appreciated- hope you enjoyed the video
Thanks for watching

Another spectacular video. Absolutely bloody fantastic indeed! I wish I was your wife (or dog)!!!
I was lucky enough to fly home from Edinburgh two days before this, and to see the whole of the Highlands shrouded in mist like this was quite something. Living in the middle of Finland, and having been raised in Perth, I miss those mountains.
Ah - a fellow Perthite :) Finland is a rather special place (only been once to visit Santa Claus though :) Such fine weather we got in December - inversions were all over the place :)

Fantastic....your wife is fit too. She son got up there wuth you. Rewarded with fab hotos for the album. I loved the video, reminded me of when I did this with my old friend......he and I did this with the dog too. Magic.
Absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing
First time I've seen you with your very understanding wife Murray. She's obviously a very loving and fantastic woman, hope you appreciate her, and I'm sure you do👍 great video as always
I certainly do :)
Excellent that Murray. We were definitely spoilt for inversions last year but they should never be taken for granted. That euphoric feeling as I break out into the sunshine is the same no matter how many times I've done it. ATB Murray
I have to agree, not much beats the feeling after being in the clag and sweating it out to emerge above the cloud :) lets hope for more this year for sure :)

Stunning 🙏🏼🏴🏔
Just beautiful!
Absolutely stunning video, Murray. One of your best I've seen, and I just happened across it while scrolling your past videos! Loved it.
The decision I made to head into the mountains of Lochaber for a few days whilst picking my son up from Glasgow turned out to be a very wise/lucky one indeed. It was at the same time you were filming this and the rough bounds video and the views from the peaks were stunning - captured really well in your videos. Days like these have me wanting to move north even from the beauty and tranquility of Mid-Wales......but then I remember all the days I've spent in clag and being savaged by midges........🤣. I'll be back soon enough, though. Thanks for the videos!
Hi Ian - you hit the jackpot in terms of the weather conditions and your trip (as did I - it was just as I was starting some annual leave). So great when the weather god smile when you head to the mountains :)

What a view, just brilliant video. Music is sooooo perfect for this video.
Beautiful Murray. So special for you guys to share that together 🙏🏻
Thanks Dave - not often we both get out together :)
Brilliant again Murray. Absolutely loved that rough bounds video, outstanding scenery!
Too bad your son couldn’t have gone as well. A treat to whet his appetite for more. ATB, Murray.
absolutely - think this was the last day before schools broke off - makes sense as the weather changed the day after which coincided with the school holidays - always happens the weather goes rubbish as soon as the kids get their break!!lol

lovely ......... thats it!
Beautiful video Murray! 😀⛰🥾🏴
Wonderful that the Boss 😃 got to see her first inversion Murray. It's always a brilliant feeling and experience when you can share something magical with someone else for the first time. Really happy that it all worked out for you both. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there Murray. ATB.
isn't it?
Nice relaxing trip compared to your previous one for sure👍 Got a cloud inversion there back in August. Always great having Beinn Ghlas and Meall nan Tarmachan so near to the car park. The views are stunning too. You have done well with the inversions recently. ATB Gaz.
It was indeed a wee bit less demanding than the last Knoydart video !! its a great spot for a quick munro or two up in the Lawers range Gaz :)

Another cracking video, and share that inversion with she who has to be obeyed. I'll be up in June to savour the hills above Killin, and maybe an inversion. Fingers crossed 🙂
Hope you have good weather for your trip in the summer Ian

The next hike you don't get an inversion Murray you'll be raging 😂. Epic scenery again.
I know - its was a right good run of the inversions TBH :) Back to something a wee bit more like winter next week :)

Time to come back to Scotland. :)
Awesome...thankyou 👍
Brilliant
👍🏴🏔
Stunning
I've yet to experience an inversion like that, had a slight inversion on Ben Ime last year but nothing to this degree. Smashing footage as always Murray.
Wonderful views!
woohoo Awesome stunning scenery you get all the best weather in Scotland LOL
I feel like I only ever comment ' wow' on your vids....but they are always wow! Amazing again!
Top effort Leanne … I couldnt get him up there !!
There was a nice shot of the silhouette of you, your wife and your dog looking out at the view.
It always looks like you can walk on the clouds to the next peak
Lots of fog bows too
Very nice video..take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
There may not have been much snow this winter but I’ll remember it as the winter of inversions, fog bows and Brocken Spectres. You’ve clearly had a lot up in the highlands and the Lakes have been the same. Pleased your wife and wee dug got to join in the party 👍👍
So beautiful, so fortunate!❤️🏴
What a day and tremendous views, bows, inversion, peaks through the cloud, fantastic - brilliant film, really enjoyed it Murray! Cheers, Ian 🥃
I've never experienced a cloud inversion, being in the south east.
Your videos are enthralling Murray, and bring a huge smile to my face.
You're also very lucky to have an understanding lady by your side.👏👏🙏👍😊
Fantastic video thanks
So beautiful! I remember that day - it was bitterly cold at below-inversion levels. I did a circuit of hills near Peebles with some friends, and it was freezing and misty all day. I somehow managed to miss out on all those inversions. The week before I was at Creise in Glencoe - it was t-shirt weather at the summit, but the inversion clouds evaporated before 9am.
I did the Dun Rig circuit south of Peebles back in August, it was around 9am and i got an inversion over the town.....amazing !
So nice when these condition occur and strange when its warmed on the mountain tops than it is down in the glens!

Superb Murray with your wife and dog. Thanks for the geography lesson with the mountains, you could see so far, Cairngorms and BN. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Now that is just majestic 🥰👏
Tremendous

Wow breathtaking
Absolutely gorgeous, lovely for you to share memories with Mrs M !
Amazing what a wonderful place thanks for sharing this with us spectacular views 😯👍
Beautiful.Lovely to see your wife with you. 😃Love this hill.
Fan'bloody'tastic as someone once said.
indeed it was Alistair :)
Wow another stunning video you are really spoiling us this winter each video getting better and better ! Nice to see your wife out with you enjoying the fantastic sights thanks for sharing
Just incase anyone asks why we do it, great footage. Had the best weather on Lawers early last year although no inversion it was clear skies and not a breath of wind
Such a great mountain but also a high one - conditions like this video are a rarity - tune in next week to see how conditions can alter :)

Absolutely incredible views Murray, lovely day out for you and your wife & the dog 🐾
Can’t wait to experience a Temperature inversion.
magic again, lovely experience with your wife and doggy. Look forward to Wednesday nights, must be time you hiked out with your brother, long time no see.
Stunning shots. I'm also afraid to say your punching well above mate 🤣
Spectacular...loved the 360. Amazing views all round.👍👏
That is so beautiful, it makes me want to move. Thanks, Murray. 🙂👍
When i saw the thumbnail pic, i thought this was a short video on your previous trip. Amazing to get a day like that again, those cloud inversions are following you! Stunning scenery, great video, lucky lucky man🏞🤘
Thanks Paul - it was an amazing spell of weather :)

Murray, 4 day hike you recently posted from December - one of the best vids I've ever seen! Amazing footage looked like a campers dream trip. Keep up the great content.

Simply stunning scenery Murray.
Really enjoyed this video Murray🤩. We were lucky enough to be up in the English lake district when these conditions hit, what a special few days it was🥰🌅. So pleased that your lovely wife got to experience it for the first time, and what a wonderful day to share together. As always, your videos do not disappoint, it was great to see little Lexi out and about again too💕🐾. Hope you and yours have a great weekend, ATB, Shell and Pete
Thanks folks - its the mecca for hill walkers getting above the clouds - lets hope for many more in 2022. Staying well away from the hills this weekend (sore knee) but mainly due to the horrendous wind conditions up there - really hope MR are not too busy this weekend
Take care and thanks for watching

Was just gunna settle down with a brew and a packet of biscuits, disappointed in the short vid ha absolutely smashing scenes Murray keep up the good work stay safe 👍
only a half cuppa tea required for this one Michael :) Wish I could have long form videos every week , but I'd need to go full time for that !lol

Great video, thank you. Could you have sent the drone up straight from the car park to take a peek?
never thought of that - but didn't have it with me - the wee drone doesn't get out very much nowadays ;) lol

Your wife in good shape seems to take it all in a leisurely stride .
Great stuff mate and always a wonderful thing to experience. Been really lucky with them this year. Atb
Cheers Ray - it was a good old year for the inversions for sure - lets hope for more of the same this year - catch up soon
Murray
What a perfect day and a lovely experience for you both! It's funny, I've just realised that "first inversion" has three different meanings to me personally, relating to three areas of my interests: hill walking, rollercoaster riding, and music :)
its such an amazing experience and 2021 was a fantastic year for the temperature inversion - there were so many and alot of them luckily fell on the weekends :)
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
The cloud inversions are amazing
JEALOUS!! 😋 Great film. Thanks for sharing. I’m heading up there tomorrow. Fingers crossed 🤞
Well done Murray for getting the boss up there, its been my goal for the last two years for me to do the same thing. I usually get the Gerry patter from the boss, ie I was just thinking of going but then I had a sudden outbreak of common sense.lol.Cheers James .
haha - me too - must have been the festive spirit that got her out - plus the promise of some sun above the dank clouds (glad we got above the clouds or I wouldnt have heard the last of it!!lol

Oh wow another incredible video Murray, what a run you've had of these! I reckon I've had 3-4 decent inversions in about 40 years, with 2 Brokken Spectres and only ever seen one fog bow. Great that your wife got to experience this, I keep hoping to take my twins out on the hill and get a day like this, but so far just near misses. Sadly it reminded me that when I did the Lawers and Tarmachan ridges many years ago it was in drizzle and clag, with zero visibility, but as you said, these things are a bit of a lottery, and when you live over 300 miles away you don't get much choice :)
What wonderful inversions you've seen recently, Murray, and so pleased you were able to share this one with your wife.
I can go a year or two without getting above the clouds (mainly because they always seem to happen during the week and when the weekend comes and I can get away from work the weather closes in lol). However last year was an exceptional year for inversions and high pressure - lets hope 2022 has similar amounts of fine weather :)
Take are and thanks for watching

You've been jammy in 2021 with inversions eh. Spoilt 😉 Stunning day Murray. Hopefully I'll get similar conditions when I take my other half up these 2.
Aye - it wasn't too bad a spell in December Kevin :) Back to normal winter weather videos next week ;)
💕
A'm goin! :)
💯💯
Guess stupid question, Why are all or most of them hills or mounting called "Ben ....................." Thanks lovely edit again
thanks and “Beinn” is a common Gaelic word for “mountain” :)

Hi Murray... I'm a disabled veteran from Ayrshire, living in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor. I came across your Knoydart video and absolutely loved the film, so professional and inspirational. Being a fellow Scot, you have opened my eyes and despite my disability I am determined to see an inversion myself. I'll be out wild camping and hiking on Dartmoor to improve my strength and fitness. When and where is the best place for me to try and complete my goal with my restricted mobility? Thank you so much. David
Hi David, its always better to get up high so I would probably aim for some of the hills with a high car park - there are a few hills near the high point on the Bealach na Ba road to applecross or perhaps around the Lawers range as the car park sits about 500 m :)
Take care and thanks for watching

@@ScotlandsMountains Thanks Murray, I'm driving up to the Gare Loch tomorrow to see my brother. I'm going to propose my plan to him for this May. Feeling excited - I spent three year in Antarctica with BAS, I've got a goal again. Thank you
Fantastic conditions, lovely to be able to share with your wife. I do have a question though - apart from Mountain Weather forecasts (like MWIS), any signs or conditions you look for that predict a good chance of inversion?
Hi Iain - MWIS is pretty good - it'll give you indications if an inversion is likely - always looks for high pressure with clouds conditions :)
