- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This walk is to the single Munro Bruach na Frithe on the main Black Cuillin Ridge, starting from the car park in Glen Brittle. It turned out to be a super weather day having been previously turned back due to high winds and rain the day before.
A great day with stunning views across the island.
Nice, I was actually on Bruach na Frithe the day your posted this video 😅
Hello, Great stuff, I hope you had similar weather conditions to our visit as its a terrific viewpoint for the whole ridge. Cheers, Charlie
What a lovely crystal-clear day, a far cry from the previous day, good call. Fantastic views. Cheers.
Hi Andy, Yes, The condition made the decision easy but the hill the next day was truly magical. Cheers, Charlie
Hi Charlie great to cross the water to the beautiful isle of skye went many years ago weather permitting done high level and low level walking, looked like a straight forward walk to the munro anything but on black cullin, great video and commentary looking forward to the next one 😀 👍
Fabulous video Charlie! What a day!
Hi Tom, We we’re fortunate to be able delay things and catch the stunning weather 👍 It’s a great summit for viewing the ridge. Cheers, Charlie
Another smashing video 👍
Nice one guys. I love Skye, went the family holiday there in July but was on the recovery from COVID so the boots were strictly for walking the dog. As someone famous once said, “I’ll be back”. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Hi Charlie, awesome video with stunning views.Your route to the summit is new for me. Looks like a "must-do". I went up to Brunch na Frithe years ago on a different route from Sligachan. Cheers Charlie!
Hi Wolfgang, Its a route for the future for you as its a bit different to coming up from the Sligachan. Cheers, Charlie.
I've had a couple of cracks at this and like your previous day, rained off :( great film Charlie
Superb!
Hey Charlie, the committee meeting was definitely a benefit , totally different day with fantastic views thanks for sharing,
James, We were never going to make the top if we had went on and getting a cracker the next day was a big bonus as it's a great viewpoint for seeing the majority of the ridge. Cheers, Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 Hey Charlie looks like you and Mike had a great time in sky really enjoyed all the videos, you have been buys as late getting a good few done, well done,
@@jamesingram2885 Hi James, we were fortunate with the weather in Skye and had a great week. Were bashing a few hills in at the moment just before the days shorten and changes our option for bigger days. Cheers.
Hi Charlie & Mike first up lovely meeting both of you on tues at Glen brittle, lovely chaps👍
Defo the best plan to abort and save for better day. That’s a lovely way up and down Charlie and the views were absolutely stunning. Looking forward to the rest of your Skye vids.👍

Hi Frank, It was great to finally get together in Glen Brittle which was always going to happen at some point. Hope your Skye trip went well, particularly with the settled spell of weather and clear tops. We managed the IP on Wed and completed the three in the south on the Thu.... a terrific week.
Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 rest of week went great Charlie, as you know weather gods were very kind to us. Only one I have to go back for now( Sgurr na Banachduch ). Couldn’t fit it in time wise.
Cheers Charlie,
Frank👍🏔🥾
@@hikingwithfrank315 Great that you around them all except Sgurr na Banachdich and at least you'll get it easily without a guides assistance. Getting all the tops clear was an unexpected bonus. Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 cheers Charlie, yeh don’t need a guide for that one. Brilliant getting all the tops clear.👍
Another great video. How typically two days can differ on the hills. Good decision to abandon the previous day when the weather looked, not only particularly foul, but also dangerous. More so had you have gone higher.
Hi Jonathan, The decision to abort was certainly right as there was noway we would have made the summit. The strength of the wind was bordering on dangerous at height. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
Super.. definitely worth keeping for the better weather. We’ve been looking at a loop from the Slig that takes us over that direction but not sure how easy the route is to get back down off the back side of the ridge. Need to do more research. Thanks Charlie..nice wee trip you guys are having. :-) D&L
Hi D&L, There are quite a few good paths coming up towards this top which would give a circular loop back to the Slig. There's one that skirts across the front of the main ridge and lands you on the top which would allow you to return by the shoulder we went down then turn right back to the hotel. Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks mate. 😊🫡
Good stuff Charlie. Have you ever linked it on to am basteir or always done as a solo? Gordon
Hi Gordon, No, we generally link the three north Munros together. You'll see an older movie in the library dated 25/05/18. Cheers, Charlie
Glad you got better weather and were able to go back the next day to finish the climb! Is the approach from Glen Brittle shorter than from the Sligachan Hotel?
Enjoyed this very much, Charlie, bringing memories back from so many years ago. It's a great way up this peak which, from a photographer's perspective, I think is one of the finest viewpoints for the entire Cuillin ridge. Was there any reason in particular why you chose to do this from Glen Brittle rather than from Sligachan? We found the burn almost impossible to cross one day when we attempted it. Interesting to see that you had such wonderful weather. On the very same day the weather here in Invermoristion was nowhere near as good, although we didn't have the heavy rain you encountered the day before. Looking forward to the next one. All the best, Ian.
Hi Ian, We were staying at Portnalong so it was easier to get to the start of this route other than driving to the Slig. It also has a good chance of being a lot quieter, until to get to the top anyway.
I would agree its location is excellent for views along the ridge, just stunning. Cheers, Charlie
Hi Guys, what a difference a day makes...
Worth the revisit with those awesome views.
What a cracking trip...one I'm now considering thank you.
