Two Fisherfield Munros from Poolewe: Part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- I’d walked the 10 miles from Poolewe to Carnmore Bothy the day before and set up camp near the bothy. I walked up the well made stalkers path for the two Munros A' Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mòr.
The Fisherfield Forest is described as the great wilderness and A'Mhaighdean is known for being the remotest Munro with the best views. The views literally took my breath away!
The Munros took 7.5 hours leaving from and returning to the bothy.
These 2 Munros left me with just 3 before compleation. A great way to finish off my 28 day road trip.
My videos are not intended to be an exact guide to any hill, mountain or low level walk featured in the video. I don’t cover every aspect of the route, terrain or difficulties.
Please refer to walkhighlands.co.uk or the book by the SMC, The Munros - Hillwalking Guide, for detailed walk descriptions.
Stay safe out there and enjoy! 😊
I am sure that’s a day you will never forget, so beautiful.
Thanks Jennifer. It was stunning. 👍
Having followed your journey of the Munros, at least in part, I actually found the part where you had your arms raised facing out to the lochs, to be quite an emotional scene. I know to have almost completed the Munros, you have put so much hard work into it - not only to do the climbing, but taking us along with you. I am sure all of your viewers are so proud of you. Well done!
Thanks so much Kenneth. I’d been looking forward to these 2 for so long & they didn’t disappoint. Rather than shed a tear, I had a big smile on my face for most of the day. I think I’ll be a bit emotional on my final Munro tho! 👍
So relaxing, it feels like I'm there. Thank you
Thanks Paul. 👍
3 to go - I wish you well !
Work just keeps getting in the way for me !!!
Wow Linda! Absolutely stunning views. One of your best videos yet. 👍
Thanks so much Ronnie. Probably one of my best hill days tbh, hard to beat it! 👍
Wow! Wow! Wow! Sublime views Linda! Absolutely sublime! What a great day to visit these....3 to go! What a great feeling that must be and maybe a wee bit sad too? Looking forward to what's ahead! Paul
Thanks so much. Your wee drone would have been buzzing about up there Paul, not a bit of wind on the summit. 👍
Wow absolutely stunning views ❤
Thank you Kim. 👍
What a wonderful achievement, well done. Thank you for the two videos, as I will be walking that route to Ullapool. I have decided to walk up A' Mhaighdean, weather permitting, and your video was an excellent tutorial for me and helped to settle some nagging questions I had.
Thanks David. 👍
Great video. Thanks. Really helpful research for my summer trip. 👍
Thank you Ken. 🙏 Hope you enjoy, one of my favourite trips. 👍
Really great video, 20 years ago I was at a very low ebb in my life and I spent five days in Fisherfield, now if I am a wee bit fed-up I just look at my photos and remember how lucky I am. Many thanks for sharing and good luck with your last three. ATB
Thanks John, a trip into the Fisherfield would certainly lift your spirits. I guess I’ll watch my video again & again in years to come. Hoping to revisit tho. Thanks for watching. 👍
Stunning days walk with 'amazing' views. Wonderfully filmed too, atb Simon
Thanks Simon. 🙏
Excellent video, Linda, thanks for posting!
Thanks Rosa. 🙏
@@LindaOutdoors :-)
I love clouds now....
good luck in completing Linda..only 14 to do myself and in no hurry...look forward to seeing your remaining videos in completion then the corbetts..😊😊😊😊
Ha, ha! 😂 Not sure about the Corbetts, long distance trails next maybe! Good luck with your last 14, nearly there too! Take your time & enjoy! 👍
Absolutely outstanding and Amazing Amazing Amazing yes it's that word again but OMG 😲 it's excusable surely with views like that, no wonder you reckon it's the best views you've ever seen 😮 I can't wait to visit this area 😀 honestly Linda Amazing 👏 enjoy the Inn Pinn the CMD and The Ben it's been a privilege following your journey 👌 respect Brian 👍
Thanks so much Brian, that trip will live long in the memory. Amazing right enough! 😂
Beautiful
Thanks Dave. 👍
Fantastic. Regards
Thank you. 🙏
Fantastic video really enjoy them I have not climbed there before but will as soon as I can Linda
Thanks Kevin. 🙏
Soooooooooo jealous !
Thanks Billy. 🙏
amazing lol
It’s a good few years since I climbed A'Mhaighdean but I still maintain it’s the best view in Scotland.
It certainly was that day, stunning views. 👍
Fantastic footage. You really are an inspiration for all independent women to get out and do these things. Well done.😊
Thanks Fiona, it’s been a journey! I wasn’t always as confident on my own in the hills as I am now. Thanks for the compliments. 👍
Congrats on bagging the most remote munro, what a great effort and thanks for sharing. Good luck with your final 3 and I look forward to seeing your completion. Cheers 👍🏻
Thanks so much. 🙏
I'm so glad you got such decent weather for A'Mhaighdean Linda, it's such an amazing viewpoint. A really special mountain. You're looking very tanned and mountain fit. A great advert for getting out there... Best of luck with you're final 3 Munros and stay safe on The Inn Pinn. 👍
Thanks David. Must be weatherbeaten, there wasn’t much Sun for the whole of May!
Well done Linda what amazing views makes the walk worthwhile 👏good luck with your final 3 Munros 🤗
Thanks Janice. 👍
Lovely video of two amazing mountains. The view from Ruadh Stac Mor down to Fhion Loch is second to none. Hope you survived the wee beasties at Carnmore! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Graham. 👍
What incredible views! Those Fisherfield munros may be very remote but your video shows so well that they're worth all the effort. Thanks for sharing Linda and I hope you get those last 3 munros completed soon.
Another one down Ross, just 2 left. 👍
That landscape was special - realy realy pretty. Being new last week to your channel I had no idea - first 4 then 3 Munros to go. So thats out of the 282 main Munro peaks? Whow thats impressive. You deserve all of those special memories of Scotlands wild outdoors. Whow. But does this mean you will need a new objective? Thank you
Thanks so much. Long distance trails will be next with a few hills too! 👍
Excellent video Linda.Great to see what's ahead of me when I go in for those 2 this way.Weather was on ur side which is a bonus.Hoping to get back out on the big hills again in the next coming weeks.Bloody missed them
😀👍
It was a great route for these 2, highly recommend it! Some pals recently did the Fisherfield 6…15 hours from the bothy, not for me! Hope you enjoy as much as I did. 👍
Great video Linda. A brilliant way to do these 2. Who wants to do all 6 in one go anyway. 😉
Thanks Kevin! I watched Robin’s video when you both camped on A' Mhaighdean, stunning place. 👍
@Moss yes, but just 2 of the Fisherfield 6 Mandy. 👍
From the causeway I'd seen this upward tack (studied it on 3D google maps and looked amazing); actually spoke to a couple who'd come down the track having wandered around where you are. By the time I'd reached the causeway It was enough for me (considering I had the return hike to Poolewe to complete). Thanks for sharing this, as I'd been wondering how the views were from up top.
It’s a long exhausting walk to do it all in 1 day, too much for me. I definitely could have walked out with just the one overnight camp but enjoyed being in the area a bit longer. Good excuse for you to go back James. 👍
@@LindaOutdoors since my Ben Wyvis hike I've been suffered an illness which I think is resolving ~ yes, the causeway is 1st on my bucket list to hopefully do again ~ it's a stunning place.
hi there, first off, incredible 2 videos on Fisher field, I know that you have said your videos are not exact guide, but I want to thank you for all the footage, as you have shown a lot of the terrain in good detail so for that thank you 👏 I have been toying with the idea of a wild camp and taking the same exact route you did from Poolewe, could I just ask two questions
1. do you know if there was mobile phone signal when in fisherfield itself on the mountains and the wild camp etc (just asking for safety concerns etc incase I needed to call someone or emergency services)
2. could you "bike in" on the stalkers path from poolewe? by that I mean was it a good enough path that it could be cycled on? reason I ask this I would be slight under time pressure walking and I just wanted to know if i could cycle some of the way to the causeway etc
but in closing STUNNING footage and thanks for taking us on a journey. great job
Hi Roy, thank you so much 🙏 No phone signal at all in the Fisherfield low level but there was 4G on the summits, enough for me to post on Instagram 😂 & send a text!
Depending on your bike skills you could cycle all the way to the causeway. A definite track all the way to the end of the forest & then a path. Hope that helps. 👍
@@LindaOutdoors honestly no problem, really good quality footage and also naration etc 😎, gave me more of a "feel" of the place that maps cant do (despite having improved in last decade or so) regards the bike thats good news, also that there is some phone signal IF you were absolutley desperate for it (hopefully that would not arise tho) standing on Sliochs summit in 2003 I remember looking into the Wilderness thinking "whats going on in there?" your videos really come close to answering that without venturing in...but someday, venture in I will 😁 did you need permition etc to camp? as I have heard the land is very jealously guarded (at least according to the guide books)
@@roybradley8002 no permission required to camp. The barn/bothy is an option too! Hope you get the weather I had and enjoy your trip. 👍
What a wonderful trip! I'm planning a trip up there in early March and wondering whether the Carnmore bothy is suitable for 5 in winter? We'd rather not lug tents because packs will be heavy enough with winter kit - any footage or pics of the bothy?
Sorry, ignore this - I've just found part 1. Thanks for the super useful info :)
Thanks Jim, was just about to share the link to part 1. Enjoy 😊 your trip. Can’t wait to go back there. 👍
I'm up in that area next year and I was wondering, in order to have a go at these two from Poolewe in one day, is it possible to mountain bike from Poolewe to the causeway? The full out and back route is around 25 miles which is too much for me in a day but the use of a bike might make it doable.
Yes, you can definitely mountain bike into the causeway. The was an endurance mountain bike race on when I was there. The track gets much rougher as you head into the wilderness though so you might have to get off & push at certain bits. Enjoy. 👍
Well said.... lol
Hi Linda quality vlog can ask where did you park the van from the tent regards Mark
Hi, parked at Poolewe & walked the 10 miles or so to Carnmore Bothy. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@LindaOutdoors I saw that in part 1 Linda just wondered if they let you keep your van there overnight with you saying no camping overnight
@@owddroner7124 I just assumed it was ok to leave the van, others were doing the same. I think it’s a walkers car park so they probably expect walkers to be away camping. Hope that answers your query. 👍
Brilliant Linda, but please ditch that annoying music! It really put me off.:) :)
Fantastic video Linda. What ‘amazing’ views and great weather you had too. Thank you for sharing your adventure as always. 😀⛰🥾🏴
Thanks Dave. 👍
