  • I spent over one week in the town of Fort William in the Scottish Highlands alone, going on plenty of hikes around the area and climbing munros. I also got my packraft out on one of the Loch's which was lovely as I haven't packrafted in ages!
    I hope you enjoy this video, thank you so much for watching and all the support!
    Take care.

    As a Scotsman staying in Scotland I guess we sometimes take it’s beauty for granted and that beauty changes with every season. Thanks for sharing the wintery mountains another great video. Haste Ye Back.

    Get an ice axe and crampons if you don't already, they are a must for heading up any Munro. They are a prerequisite. Always take them out with you between October/November and April in Scotland if you are going out and especially if you are considering going high. The conditions in Scotland can be nuts and you must be prepared. Navigating from the top of the Ben is no joke with a bit of cloud, some wind and snow everywhere, there are some big drops. Take care out there.

    • @claverhouse1
      @claverhouse1 2 роки тому +1

    There is an absolutely fantastic Vid on youtube about a guy who went camping in that exact area . A Very experienced guy who was desperately unlucky and almost died just from a sequence of events that could happen so easily to anyone . When it turns like that up there you are always better to err on the side of safety as it can catch you out so quickly with winds 100 mph + . Great Vid , well done .

    Here in Norway some areas have more snow this winter than we've had for some fifty years and we're only halfway through the winter months yet! Guess we'll be skiing until the end of May at least. Packrafting looks fun, but the season up here is rather short:-)
