First time I drove through Glencoe I thought how is this place connected to England I was awe struck. The flowing year my late mother and father took a trip up there as they had never been and I feel sad that they didn’t get up there more often. If they were still here they would love your videos just like I do. Me and my husband are hooked thank you Murray 😊
Nailed it again Muzza. So glad you headed south from the summit as you get fantastic uninterrupted views down Loch Tay (cloud inversion) for you. Most folk touch the summit and down again.
Cheers Robin - much appreciated - it just looked so interesting over in that direction - was glad I made the short detour for sure :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains it was Ben Dolphin's video that I watched and he revealed that part too. 👍🏼 Merry Christmas to you and your family mate, have a good one. 😁
I live in Denmark. Here we have BIG Beins..... the biggest is Heaven Mountain. It is in Jutland and is over 118 meters high.... yes. 118 meters. What a big Bein that is. The hills in Scotland are a wee bit bigger..... I love your video. Thanks.
Another spectacular adventure Murray. Thanks so much for all the planning, early starts, and editing time it takes to bring us on these trips with you.
Thanks Graham, it was a great morning and always nice to get above the clouds (got another two inversion videos en route in the next few weeks #spoileralert) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Me and my Son did a night walk up to Loch Nagar 1 night before the summer solstice a few years back and I thought that was a stunning sunrise, but that walk of yours to Ben Lawers and the sunrise was just breathtaking!! Certainly an idea for a future trip. Thanks for sharing!
Its a nice wee hike up Ben Lawers (in conditions like these) as the car park is at over 400m. However I was up there on Tuesday and conditions were rather different - blizzard on top and driving, rain, sleet and hail lower down - took a bit longer and was more of an endurance test!!lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks for all the pleasure you've given me this year.. My old legs won't take me up those hills anymore but your videos are the next best thing. Stay safe and merry christmas.
Fantastic views and time lapse Murray, just amazing. I got my camper for similar reasons, and not waking everyone up at silly o'clock! Plus just being able to enjoy the views from the van, with a cuppa, before, after or instead of a walk.
Thanks Mike , yes - the camper van is really good for that - I think I may be going soft in my old age ;) lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
I was climbing thru that same fog that morning but in Glencoe for exactly that glorious sunrise and cloud inversion. One of those rare days when you wish you could be on every mountain in Scotland at the same time. Excellent production as always!
Hello Murray. Just wanted to let you know that my wife and I are addicted to your videos. You have inspired us to get out hiking more often. We are even planning a trip to Scotland (actually our 4th trip there) and can't wait to hike some of the beautiful mountains. Thanks for your videos, they are a great inspiration. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Thomas - really appreciate your comment. When I hear that people get some inspiration from the videos it makes it all worth while. Hope you get up to Scotland once this is all over Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Fantastic, I really enjoy watching and being inspired by your wonderful videos. Like you, Sgurr na Stri had been on my to do list for a few years and your video on your wild camp there was the trigger for me to do it back in August. Crossing Camasunary it was quite windy and I had doubts whether the summit would be too rough, but I pushed on leaving my brother-in-law who didn't fancy it to wild camp at sea level by the bothy. On reaching the summit it was no worse and I was able to find cover behind one of the many rocky outcrops. Drinking a warm coffee, looking across to the Cuillin ridge, and out across the sea to Rum, Eigg, Muck and Canna, I was a very happy walker. Unfortunately I missed out on a good sunrise as it was a bit drizzly when I awoke but I'd had a wonderful evening and a calm night. My brother-in-law however had had a very windy night at sea level! Out of interest how many cameras do you have to film your walk bys, are they Go Pros, does the setting up, walking past and then going back to pick them up add much time, or are you very polished at it now after all these videos?
wild camping on sgurr na stri is a fantastic spot , gald you got a nice sunset as the views are hard to beat up there :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Just incredible, it is one of the best videos that I have seen about mountains and hiking. Such a good idea to go to the summit for the sunrise, I will also do it! Loch tay area is outstanding.
Thanks Luis, hope you enjoyed it , it was a great Autumn morning up on the mountain. I went back up there last week and the weather couldn't have been more different - full on winter conditions and rather stormy and blizzard like !! Amazing what a month or two can do :) The views were not quite the same either!!lol Vlog out next year of that trip probably Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains I can't wait for last week trip vlog!!! I hope that restrictions are lifted next year and can go to the hills freely. I am also thinking of buying a campervan. I live in Scotland, so we might see each other in the mountains in the future :)
Thanks for the Stunning views again Murray. Those colours! As a Sassenach, you gota love Scotland. Remember getting to that same top once, in full thermal clobber. 2 young lads stood there nearly 4000ft up, in Celtic shorts and hoodies, old school satchels. One commented that ‘the wind chill cut right through ya’. What a place eh 👍 👍
a bit chilly at times in shorts up there for sure !! was up on Tuesday and not sure shorts would have survived the blizzard and strong winds !1lol ;) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

I’m from the states and I have friends that I’d have to translate your videos for, I don’t have much of a problem understanding you, me ma was from Portadown in Ulster and growing up me mates would say your mom really has accent ,and I’d say no she doesn’t ,but she did ,in a Scotch / Irish Ulster accent. Love your videos , I spent 18 months in Alaska in the army , ski and mountain troops, so I’ve hiked in some high and lonesome places too, there’s something special about those high places, stay safe

Boy you max-ed out on the weather there Murray! Superb views and photos - I could smell that fresh morning air which reminded me of my own, similar adventures. Thanks for sharing buddy and stay safe.

Truly wonderful video Murray. Some superb night time images rounded off with an absolutely stunning sunrise and inversion. Great way to spend a Wednesday evening watching your vlog. Thanks you sharing and stay safe.
Thanks Tony, hope you enjoyed it. It was a fantastic hike - much different to my trip up Ben Lawers on Tuesday where it was full on winter conditions - a little less enjoyable and more a battle of endurance!! :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Stunning footage yet again. You always deliver the views (even when it's raining ;-). I wonder if that star above your head at 9:06 is in fact Jupiter. Would be fantastic to have a clear sky for the 'Great Conjunction' on December 21 with Saturn. All the best Murray and many thanks again. :-)
Thanks Mark, yeah would be nice if we get clear skies for that event for sure (not too sure what clear skies are like now as it seems to be months since we have had any!1lol) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Murray.....are you able to reveal which headtorch you were using. It looks really powerful and I could do with something as good as that. Thanks for all the great entertainment you have given me in all your videos.
Hi Michal- it was purchaed from amazon - afraid it doesnt have a brand on it!! However I must say it has been excellent and lasted me years ! sorry I cant be more specific Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks James, it was a glorious morning - much different to this weeks trip to the same mountain! not often we can enjoy the mountains when they are like this :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Its must be pushing it to call Ghlas a Munro - as you say Alistair, just a bump on the way to Ben Lawers ;) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Great wee video with awesome views. Watching your channel helped me convince my wife that we needed a camper van in our life. 🙌 Coincidentally, our first trip away in it together we attempted Beinn Ghlas/Ben Lawers, which was the first time my wife came along on a hike up a Munro. Unfortunately, the wind was too mental and thought it would be wise to turn back just off the top of Beinn Ghlas while we were still happily married. Didn’t put her off wanting to come back and try again though!
Thanks Dave, I was glad I ended up getting up when I did, meant no rushing up to the summit for the sunrise - a nice leisurely (albeit in the dark ) hike to the top :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks Stuart - yeah - what you didnt see was the hoards of people I met on the way down !! (understandable as it was such a nice day). Was a different experience coming off the hill as opposed to the climb up it . The car park was mobbed and the wee road almost un passable with cars left abandoned at the side of the road ... However it was a stunning day and many people would've had a blast :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Great video of a couple of local hills, you had me foxed going through Killin, thought you were going up Ben More. Was like a scene from a sci-fi movie when you came out the van door 👽Beautiful colours in the sunrise, your timelapse was stunning.
Thanks Jeg - in terms of Ben More - stay tuned (I mentioned a 2am start in this video #spoiler alert). I may have been in its vicinity a few weeks before this earlier in the autumn (i may also have experienced an inversion to make this one look weak ;) lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks - very much appreciated -0 the van is awesome - really looking forward to some more camper van adventures in 2021 (fingers crossed!) Happy Christmas Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Absolutely glorious!! That starry time lapse, the cloud inversion, and the sunrise atop Ben Lawers were just magnificent. This would have to be my new favourite video of yours, loved it!!
Thanks Jacqui, very much appreciated- if you liked the starry timelapse then there me be a segment in next Wednesdays video that you may enjoy :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Another outstanding offering. A simple but beautiful adventure, and yes, I noted that curious geological feature when I ski-toured back towards Lawers village one time.
Thanks Graham - its well worth the short detour to check out the wee cleft and feature on the side of the mountain :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks Uma - the sunrise was glorious, made even better by the inversion and being above the clouds on the mountain top - a stunning morning :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Stunning. The quality of the filming etc was excellent. Very envious of you having that van now. Sleeping in the back of a car isn't quite the same lol.
Thanks Kisilvan, been saving for years and years for the van and must say makes sitting up in the morning a little easier than in the car (no more smashing my head off the roof!!lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks Steph - hope you enjoy them (ps kept my favourite adventure videos from this year for the next few weeks so hope you enjoy these too :)) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Really enjoyable adventure, great scenery captured expertly. Been there many times but not in conditions like that, usually high winds & snow. Thank you.
Absolutely correct - I was up there on Tuesday and it was full on winter conditions (even though it was warm and benign at the car park (video to come next month)! Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
What a morning! I cant wait to get out and have an adventure. Your a lucky man. Had an awrsome few days there last year. Wimd camp by the Lochan. Its a wonderful area.
Thanks Jamie - hope it helped ! got a few more vlogs from back in the summer and autumn en route which will hopefully make your morning in the coming weeks Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
I've still to do Ben Lawers and plan to add in a few of the range with a camp or two.. just need to make it happen. Fabulous hill, great video and quite excellent editing and story telling as usual Sir. I really did enjoy how you panned out to make the sky look even bigger at sunrise - Fantastic. Thank you as always for the inspiration.
Certainly get a better chance of this on the higher mountains (I think I may mention this on the next inversion video in a few weeks - it was a better inversion too ;) #spoiler alert!! Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
have to agree with you:) catching the start of the day and it lighting up the mountains is the best part of the day (providing the weather is favourable :) ) One of the reasons I think wild camping up high too - can catch the end of the day as well as the start :) Thanks for Watching ATB Murray
Fantastic stuff. Been up Ben Lawers a few times but never had as nice a view as that. The van certainly makes a difference doesn’t it. Look forward to the next adventure Cheers
Thanks Leon, the campervan was certainly an advantage on this trip :) Been up here loads too but this is easily the best conditions I have experienced. They don't happen too often :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Hi Murray, had a chuckle when after saying you used to have to get up 2:30am, now you get up at 3:30am in the van. To my way of mind that’s the same time😀, bloody early. Hope you got you’re well earned brownie points. Very nice, quality video, thank you 🙏
I actually did the same when I watched it back!lol however the alarm was set for later but I was glad I got up when I did, made the hike to the top less of a rush :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Hi Murray, familiar drive, carpark and mountain but i never had these fantastic views. Maybe i have to earn it first to be an early bird as well. Great to see you enjoying the benefit of using the campervan and now i know how it feels like as well :-) Not sure if you use it but park4night is a nice app when travelling with the campervan. Great vlog as always, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Det - hope you are enjoying your new van :) I do have that app, its pretty decent and have used it a few times:) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Stunning footage yet again. You always deliver the views (even when it's raining ;-). I wonder if that star above your head at 9:06 is in fact Jupiter. Would be fantastic to have a clear sky for the 'Great Conjunction' on December 21 with Saturn. All the best Murray and many thanks again. :-)
Thanks Mark, yeah would be nice if we get clear skies for that event for sure (not too sure what clear skies are like now as it seems to be months since we have had any!1lol)

Murray.....are you able to reveal which headtorch you were using. It looks really powerful and I could do with something as good as that.
Thanks for all the great entertainment you have given me in all your videos.
Hi Michal- it was purchaed from amazon - afraid it doesnt have a brand on it!! However I must say it has been excellent and lasted me years ! sorry I cant be more specific

Tremendous morning. Great wee adventure, love the amount of faff the van saves. Perfect!
Thanks James, it was a glorious morning - much different to this weeks trip to the same mountain! not often we can enjoy the mountains when they are like this :)

@@ScotlandsMountains I'll look forward to that vlog as always! Nice to get Lawers to yourself as well, not a common experience!
Marched right past that pathetic little pile on Ben Ghlas en route to ben Lawers summit, the bypass path was a fantastic walk back aswell.
Its must be pushing it to call Ghlas a Munro - as you say Alistair, just a bump on the way to Ben Lawers ;)

Great wee video with awesome views. Watching your channel helped me convince my wife that we needed a camper van in our life. 🙌
Coincidentally, our first trip away in it together we attempted Beinn Ghlas/Ben Lawers, which was the first time my wife came along on a hike up a Munro. Unfortunately, the wind was too mental and thought it would be wise to turn back just off the top of Beinn Ghlas while we were still happily married. Didn’t put her off wanting to come back and try again though!
Thanks Mark - hope you managed to get your camper :)

That was top notch Murray ,what a sunrise well worth the early start .tfs atb Dave
Thanks Dave, I was glad I ended up getting up when I did, meant no rushing up to the summit for the sunrise - a nice leisurely (albeit in the dark ) hike to the top :)

Magnificent Murray ! Not surprised you left to stay overnight, busiest car park in Scotland that place.
Thanks Stuart - yeah - what you didnt see was the hoards of people I met on the way down !! (understandable as it was such a nice day). Was a different experience coming off the hill as opposed to the climb up it . The car park was mobbed and the wee road almost un passable with cars left abandoned at the side of the road ... However it was a stunning day and many people would've had a blast :)

Great video of a couple of local hills, you had me foxed going through Killin, thought you were going up Ben More. Was like a scene from a sci-fi movie when you came out the van door 👽Beautiful colours in the sunrise, your timelapse was stunning.
Thanks Jeg - in terms of Ben More - stay tuned (I mentioned a 2am start in this video #spoiler alert). I may have been in its vicinity a few weeks before this earlier in the autumn (i may also have experienced an inversion to make this one look weak ;) lol

@@ScotlandsMountains happy Christmas to you and your family
Absolutely glorious!! That starry time lapse, the cloud inversion, and the sunrise atop Ben Lawers were just magnificent. This would have to be my new favourite video of yours, loved it!!
Thanks Jacqui, very much appreciated- if you liked the starry timelapse then there me be a segment in next Wednesdays video that you may enjoy :)

Here in the States, us backcountry skier types, refer to what you did as: 'The dawn patrol'.
Another outstanding offering. A simple but beautiful adventure, and yes, I noted that curious geological feature when I ski-toured back towards Lawers village one time.
Thanks Graham - its well worth the short detour to check out the wee cleft and feature on the side of the mountain :)

Stunning. The quality of the filming etc was excellent. Very envious of you having that van now. Sleeping in the back of a car isn't quite the same lol.
Thanks Kisilvan, been saving for years and years for the van and must say makes sitting up in the morning a little easier than in the car (no more smashing my head off the roof!!lol

Another cracking adventure amazing views, 💯💯
Having a camper van for hill walking is a great idea
Loved the vid and the van is fantastic
Absolutely excellent.
Thanks Chris
Have been up here a few times in all weathers the ridge is where we took some good pics in the snow 😁
Well worth the early start that!! Fab video as per murrary! Stay safe

Really enjoyable adventure, great scenery captured expertly. Been there many times but not in conditions like that, usually high winds & snow. Thank you.
Absolutely correct - I was up there on Tuesday and it was full on winter conditions (even though it was warm and benign at the car park (video to come next month)!

@@ScotlandsMountains Hi Murray I'll look forward to that.
Nice one Murray. The camper van is certainly giving you a good head start.

It’s certainly did - still an early start but not as early as it would’ve been without the camper van :)

Scotland's Mountains!!!
What a morning! I cant wait to get out and have an adventure. Your a lucky man.

A lovely spot to camp - hope you had some good weather

I've still to do Ben Lawers and plan to add in a few of the range with a camp or two.. just need to make it happen. Fabulous hill, great video and quite excellent editing and story telling as usual Sir. I really did enjoy how you panned out to make the sky look even bigger at sunrise - Fantastic. Thank you as always for the inspiration.
Thanks - hope you get up there next year and get some nice conditions 👍

Just brilliant
Inversions over Loch Tay must be quite common as my son and I witnessed 3 of them this year out of the 4 visits to the area.
Certainly get a better chance of this on the higher mountains (I think I may mention this on the next inversion video in a few weeks - it was a better inversion too ;) #spoiler alert!!
Take care and thanks for watching

Murray
Glorious!
Nice video bro. I Usually only do night walks these days the rewards come light are far better 😎.
have to agree with you:) catching the start of the day and it lighting up the mountains is the best part of the day (providing the weather is favourable :) ) One of the reasons I think wild camping up high too - can catch the end of the day as well as the start :)
Thanks for Watching

Murray
Wonderful and thank you.
Fantastic stuff. Been up Ben Lawers a few times but never had as nice a view as that. The van certainly makes a difference doesn’t it.
Look forward to the next adventure
Cheers
Thanks Leon, the campervan was certainly an advantage on this trip :) Been up here loads too but this is easily the best conditions I have experienced. They don't happen too often :)

Hi Murray, had a chuckle when after saying you used to have to get up 2:30am, now you get up at 3:30am in the van. To my way of mind that’s the same time😀, bloody early. Hope you got you’re well earned brownie points. Very nice, quality video, thank you 🙏
I actually did the same when I watched it back!lol however the alarm was set for later but I was glad I got up when I did, made the hike to the top less of a rush :)

Wow wow wow, stunningly beautiful 😍.
Beautiful clip.
Hi Murray, familiar drive, carpark and mountain but i never had these fantastic views. Maybe i have to earn it first to be an early bird as well. Great to see you enjoying the benefit of using the campervan and now i know how it feels like as well :-) Not sure if you use it but park4night is a nice app when travelling with the campervan. Great vlog as always, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Det - hope you are enjoying your new van :) I do have that app, its pretty decent and have used it a few times:)
