Paul.
Quite spooky walking along that rocky ridge. 👻
Wee paddy would have need to be carried along that! 🐕🐕. I should rename my video the spooky rocky ridge!,
Another great one Paul. I so miss those Scottish mountains.
They are hard to beat! And a great way to feel levelled and at peace! Cheers Richard! Paul
In my opinion,,,,,,,,, definitely needed a cafe` at the top after that boulder climb!!!. Great wee walk really enjoyed it. 🥾
We passed the cafe! Did you not see it?.. you need to watch again 😉
I will do that right now. !!!🙂
Nice one paul u make real down to earth videos great to watch !!!
Thanks Alan! That's really kind! I really enjoy trying to put something together so that helps! Cheers againg for watching, commenting and supporting! Thanks. Paul
Beautiful place
Thanks 😊 Paul
Hi Paul, loved this one. Shame about the clag up there but great views when it cleared a wee bit. What a bouder field on Starav. I walk below Starav, but high above Loch Etive from lnverawe and round to Bonawe. The views are stunning. Have to say not been down Glen Etive for a couple of years since they started the Hydro stuff, and in the Summer its too crowded for me 😁 Thanks for the trip......Alioban ❤
That’s a wee oldie that one! I need to go back to these hills in the coming years as the views are apparently amazing! I seen mostly cloud 😂😂. I’m always fascinated by these bunnets of rocks on mountains! It’s like some giant sprinkled them on like a giant cake! I can picture it now 🤓🤓🤓. Cheers Ali 👍👍 Paulo
Thanks, Paul. You and your pals help by giving a true impression that cannot be got from books. Your work is much appreciated. I'll have a go at these two!
Cheers! A bit overcast on Starav but some atmospheric moments! A great wee day out! Thanks for watching and thanks again for your comments! All the best and enjoy the walk when you get there! Paul
Paul - love your videos mate. Inspiring and informative for me as a relative newcomer to the hills. 👍
Thank you very much George! Initially I took my inspiration from other people and thought that I could never create a video or do some of the walks I had seen! After a few years I absolutely love it!,, take your time, enjoy getting out adventuring and it will change your world! Thanks again for your kind comments, they mean a lot! All the best and take care! Paul
Stunning and very atmospheric.... I like the fact on most of your hikes it looks like its just your and yours mate and that beautiful countryside to yourself... Stay safe buddy
Thanks! Most of the time we don't really see anyone! If you pick the right hills you can have them all to yourself! The feeling of isolation is amazing! Cheers Paul
Great video Paul, atb Alistair
Thanks Alastair! thoroughly enjoyed this wee walk! cheers again mate and thanks for the support. Paul.
Looked a nice challenge ridge walk Paul. Always makes things a bit more tricky in mist and poor visibility. The footage captured when the cloud lifted looked fab 👍
Thanks Anthony! The ridge was great but a bit short! Still good fun and the cloud cover added a wee bit of atmosphere! Cheers again mate! Paul
Nice one Paulo. I did Starav in similar conditions. Did the other 1 in good conditions. Separate trips eh. Club bus.
Thanks Kev! Just the outlier left to do....any excuse for a wee trip back to glen etive! Ta mucho Paul
Nice 1 mate one of my favs. Pity about glen etive its such a great place . I think I'm going to go back in the winter for a wild camp. Not too busy then 👍👍👍
May be up for joining in the winter time if your up for that?
@@PAADVENTURES1 sounds like a plan mate👍👍👍
Nice one Paul, is definitely on my list - unfortunately I read that there is some work on a bridge so the access is a kind of difficult 😉. loved the arete in fog, looks super dramatic 👍 ATB Stripey
Thanks Stripey! Sometimes not getting a view dosent matter! It was very atmospheric. We where there last week and access was ok? I am not sure what bridge is out though? Cheers man! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 according to Mountaineering Scotland it is the Chaorainn bridge in Glen Etive which is closed for walkers from the 21-27th of August. ATB Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy Thanks Stripey
So that's what it looks like up there then Paul. I've camped down below back in 2017. Had a real good time. That ridge was slow going. Gnarly or what. Have a cool week dude. Mark
Beautiful part of the world Mark and these hills are relatively straightforward to access! The next time you are up.......the arete was quite airy, short but great fun! Cheers again chap! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 Oh for sure beautiful all round Paul. I will be back up at some point - maybe in that area. A pleasure mate.
Good tidings, indeed! Such a beautiful hike, with the clouds hanging on the ridges and peaks. So dramatic hiking along the ridge, scrambling over the rocks, with air and clouds below you. An amazing landscape once you were below the clouds. Love the open hills going on forever.
It was amazing! Even though we never really got such great views it was very atmospheric and a bit eerie! On a clear day this is one of the best ranges of hills in the area! Thanks again! Paul
Good morning Paul, what a treat with our breakfast, popped you on the big screen this morning 🤗 the cloud was think and romantically clinging to the mountains at the start, really adds to the magic of the day. The summit of Ben S was nice to see, walking in the cloud is a strange thing, very calm and quiet ❤ the ridge itself looked like walking along a dragons back, we moved it, can just imagine two glowing red eyes peering through the cloud. Always nice to have the safety of a bypass path too, conditions and jelly knees playing a part for me 👍❤ nice to look back and see veiws, thanks for the video Paul, fabulous as always, have a great week, Ceri and Kat 👍🤗❤⛰☕🌫
Thanks guys! That's the second dragons back in a few weeks! What a place glen etive is! Simply stunning and these two hills are a treat to climb. Paul
Nice one PA, that initial climb up Stavros is tough from memory. We got similar conditions to you as well.
Cheers Robin, I found it quite easy and enjoyed the initial part. the wee ridge walk part was amazing in the cloud. Thanks mate!
Best remedy for being holed up with a thunderstorm is going out for a wee walk with Paul. Perfect timing on dropping this video, couldn't have been better (from our perspective!). The peak you were hitting shortly after the 4 minute mark is just a bit of a rock pile isn't it? Looks a lot like some of the balder peaks we have here where all that's left is what the glaciers dumped out. Pity we couldn't see too much of the steep drop along the sides of the ridge you were walking, but can totally tell it's there. not a great place for a slip is it?
Haven't asked this before, but have you climbed all of the munros yet? Surely you must have with how many you've banged out just in the few months we've been watching?
Thanks JR! Yeah Starav has a boulder field sitting on top! Like a big rock icing on a cake! As far as munros go, I am miles away from finishing! Two years ago I decided to start a fresh and scrub all my walks over the years. Mainly because I had never kept a proper record of where I had been! So in the last year and a half I have done 94 and recorded them properly. Only another 188 to go! Hopefully you will stay with me through the journey. I reckon another 5 years or so! Cheers again guys!,, Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 We'll be here for it Paul. We love your videos, and you do a great job making your "wee walks" quality content. If it's going to take that long, maybe COVID will calm down enough for us to make our trip to Scotland we've been wanting to do for a few years, and we can catch you and Paddy for a wee walk before you've finished them all.
That would be great! Plenty of room here at the wee house! You would not want to go back home! 😉😏Paul
Good viewing Paul as always. Did this route last October and looks like I had a very similar day. In the clag on Starav summit !
Thanks Andrew! No views but still great fun! I bet the views are amazing too. Nevermind, it was atmospheric at least. Cheers mate. Paul
Great stuff mate. What a mountain Ben Starav is, I was up there with my Dad last year for an overnighter before doing the others. Waterfalls at the end were brill too. Enjoyed watching mate, cheers. Mark
Thanks Mark! It's one of my favourite places to visit...a bit busy the now but still amazing. The wee glen with the waterfalls is absolutely stunning! Cheers mate and thanks for watching! All the best. Paul
