Ben More and Stob Binnein were the next targets in my Munro Bagging journey and are the two most easterly Munros in the Crainlarich region.
I set off early to bag both Munros as the weather was forecast to heat up considerably. After a great morning of watching a small inversion happen in the glen to the north, the sun done its thing and raised the temperature to over 30°c and burned the inversion away.
In total, with stopping to film and all, I managed to bag these both in around seven hours, choosing to return via the bealach and the Land Rover track to the west of Ben More.
Another fantastic day on the hills with great views all around as far as the eye could see.

I like the way you point out other peaks. ‘gahlick’ please, not ‘gaylick’.
What an amazing cloud inversion. I have never done those Munro's as I have always been put off by everyone saying how bad the slope is all the way up.. Getting the views like you got would surely make it worth it. Great video mate keep it up.
Hey Gus, it was a bit of a pleasure to see. Like a wee river of cloud running from Tyndrum around and out over Loch Tay, something a bit different.
Don't let the slope put you off really. It is a constant but it's not the worse and does have stairs as you saw. I would definitely recommend giving it a bash and push for the two of them if you can.
It's always a bonus if you get the views too, I'll say that for nothing.
Hopefully this has gave you a wee insight into these two Munros and you give them a try sometime.
Let me know how you get on and take care.
Well done mate! Really enjoyed this, you’ve filmed it really well 😁 Wasn’t sure if you were going to get the views with that clag in the beginning, but once you rise above it - wow! 🤤
Cheers Scott. It was a cracking wee day and the weather did turn good (if not a little hot in the end).
The views were superb and I'm hoping to head up there again soon to do a wee job.
Have you got any outings planned soon?
@@AScotsmanOutdoors it’s hard finding the perfect balance in weather eh 😅 Aye, I’ve got a couple of hills left to do in Galloway/Arran then looking at the Arrochar Corbetts, finding the time on the other hand, is a different story 🤭
It is that. I think I've become a bit of a fair weather / summit view seeker and that has held my Munro numbers back a bit. I might just head out on my next days off despite the weather and grizz a bit of poor weather. I have the kit for it 🤷🏻♂️
I've only done the main few down at D&G but should really do the rest. Even for the views if for nothing else.
There's apparently a mimetolith near Merrick which I want to see so that could be my next jaunt down there.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors definitely, I don’t mind poor weather as long as there is some semblance of visibility on offer 👌🏻It’s “character building” as they say 😅
Do you mean the Grey Man of the Merrick? It’s an absolute belter! There’s no denying the face when you see it, it’s almost like it was carved.
Let me know if you fancy a walk/camp down this way at some point, I’ve pretty much covered the Galloway Hills save for Mullwharcher / Minnigaff range.
It can let you know what you're made of to be fair.
Yep, that's the one. The pictures I've saw look phenomenal so I really want to see it in person. I saw one many moons ago in Alaska which was a native American appearance with headdress, so unless I find time and money to get back there it'll be D&G meantime 😂
I'm sure we can sort something out for a walk and it's always a bonus if someone has prior knowledge of an area.
Excellent again - loved the drone footage! Keep them coming!
Thank you, I really appreciate that. They'll definitely keep coming so long as I've got hills to climb.
Again, thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope it gave you a wee insight into these if you haven't climbed either.
Great video, planning on tackling it in a couple of weeks. Curious what route you took back? Did you go down into the Glen or along side Ben more?
Hey, I'm glad you liked this and hope it's helped for your upcoming shot.
I returned to the bealach between both Munros and headed down and along the western edge of Ben More down to where the land rover track ends at NN419237, from there I just followed the track back to the start.
The path from the bealach is to the track is present but like most of the slopes and glen in this area, there are a good few boggy and slippy grass sections. It does however save from going back up and over Ben More.
I'll pop a link to my route into the description of this video for tomorrow morning. Again, thanks for watching and I'll help in any way. You'll need to let me know how your attempt goes.
That's my route linked in the description now.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors Thanks for letting me know. Video will be a great help, it’s good to get a visualisation off what I will be tackling. I’ll let you know how I get on
@@AScotsmanOutdoors Thanks for that, uploaded your route to go outdoors.
Not a problem and good luck, I hope you get some views 🤞🏼
Hope to see these icons someday. Wonderful video. Love the inverted clouds on the mountain top. Well done. Mew follower here. Crow✌️
Hi ATCFH, I hope you get to see them too. The Scottish hills very rarely disappoint, there's just something about them that strikes a chord.
The inversion was decent but I'm still seeking that phenomenally mind blowing one.
I'm glad that you liked the vlog and like I say, I hope that you get to see these hills one day.
Thanks for the sub!
Ben More - My Favorite Munro! ..... Views are amazing , Cheers for the upload!
Cheers Scotti and you're welcome. The views from up there are great and even better with a cheeky inversion.
Great video again bud and some great scenery too. Already looking forward to the next one!! ✌️
Thanks Paul, I really appreciate that. I'll take some credit for the video but the scenery is someone else's work.
I'll hopefully be back out soon and will have a video to follow also. Here's hoping the weather is just as kind.
Thanks again for watching and commenting 👍🏼
Very beautiful smoky
Thank you. It was almost like smoke. Thanks for watching.
Stunning Bryan. Braw drone footage anaw. 👌Cannae whack days like that 😎 What a summer it's been for inversions.
Cheers Kevin. It was a superb day and a decent inversion, just not the full sea of clouds yet for me. One day though, one day.
Your jaunt down the coast looked a good few days away too... until the travel agent messed-up the buses 🙄😂
@@AScotsmanOutdoors Haha daftie eh. Ma misses wanted tae batter um 😁
😂 the joys of the outdoors. I can imagine how he must have felt too though. That moment when you check something, realise you've messed up and have to turn and tell the audience 😟. All's well that ends well though and at least it didn't rain.
Braw hike Jimmy, enjoyed that. 👌🏼
I remember that slog up Ben More like yesterday. Relentless until you reach the summit.
It was a cracking day and it had a fair few people climbing up Ben More at least, not so much the second.
Those "stairs" were both a treat and a trial but you're right, they were all the way until say the last 75m.
I'm itching for the next one if I'm honest but adulting has to come first some times 😂
@@AScotsmanOutdoors lol aye adult stuff annoyingly gets in the way at times.
Another enjoyable video, thanks. I see you have the same Deuter backpack as my wife....its a good one for a simple day on the hills.
As always, I'm glad you enjoyed this one too. Yeah, I done a wee bit of research into day-sacks for a day on the hills and this (Deuter Groden 32L) ticked all the boxes for me. It's superb overall I think.
Brilliant video mate - those clouds in the glen were amazing. TShirt all the way as well - hardcore! Keep them coming :-)
Thanks Stuart, they were a grand sight throughout most of the morning and all of a sudden the sun took over and they were gone. Yeah, I've got some in-built insulation so I can last a wee bit longer before the thermal top comes out (which is around now).
Thanks for watching and I'll definitely keep them coming. I've got a wee channel change coming up soon but stick with it, it's not big, it's for the better and for the hill lovers. All will be revealed in the first vlog of November.
Again, thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors superb - when did you do this climb?
This was at the start of August this year.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors sorry - just noticed it did say that 😂
😂 no worries. It was a good month for cloud inversions for all I have been told and saw on other vlogs.
Doing these 2 on Friday, hopefully the weather is decent 🤞
Hey Scott, I had a great bout of weather for it and I hope you do too. They're a cracking set of Munros and I really enjoyed bagging them both. Fingers crossed you get a wee inversion like I did too. Have you done any others in the range?
