  • This walk around Loch Turret near Crieff takes in the single Munro Ben Chonzie. The anticlockwise route gives some protection from a strong northwest wind getting to the Munro after which the walk south along the ridge line back to the car was very pleasant.
    A super day and a fine bit of morning exercise.

    As always excellent stuff guys 👏👏👏👏 And the best way to do Chonzie although i have never done the loop it is now on my list stunning views and it makes what some people say a plain munro an excellent day out ⛰️👍 I was actually admiring the hills and a stunning sunset last night Friday from the dizzy heights of Kinnoull Hill my 1st ever summit of Kinnoull very impressive although next time I’ll start from down at the main Dundee road to add a bit more elevation 😁 Thanks for sharing guys great to see yous out and about your commentary describing routes hills etc is 1 of the best on here stay safe and enjoy the hills David 👍

      Hi David, Really glad you enjoyed our latest outing. There is always a good walk to be had to suit the conditions and we've always found BC to give an enjoyable time all through the seasons.
      Great idea to keep your 1st summit camp close just to get the feel of the experience. Take care, Cheers

    Looked a great day for it.. Will have to do that route some day .
    Did Auchnafree in deep snow a couple of years back and Chonzie looked a propper Munro from that side👍

      Hi itsablack1, Its a nice route for this side which also provides a wee loop if you fancy it. Cheers

    Great video, I did the same route last year, I left my camera at the bottom and only noticed when I got to your tea stop, it was a panic going back down searching every rock for it, I did eventually get it back. I found it very boggy after Chonzie.

      Hello, Its great you managed to find your camera as its frustrating when things like that happen. Many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers

    Gives you a completely different perspective on the mountain - I particularly liked your return route. I've been put off by the high winds and snow forecast on recent weekends so I'm itching for the weather to improve! Thanks for sharing this lovely video as ever. Cheers Murdo

    Hi Charlie, Hi Mike, what a cracking day, you even managed to dodge the snow showers. You can’t beat a walk that takes in a track by a body of water for a good deal of the way, be it either on the way out or back.
    All the best guys, hopefully the good weather is upon us, fingers crossed! 😀🥾🤞⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    Great wee video Charlie. Ive often considered taking my mountain bike up the loch the dumping and walking the rest for a very short day. Fair to say looking at your video you can get the full length fine on a mountain bike?

    Hi Charlie and Mike, I was wondering how you now decide which Munro to do next? ( given you’ve done them all before many times ) Are you working through another round or are you choosing depending on weather forecast. Thanks

    • @charliemccartney7055
      @charliemccartney7055  2 місяці тому

      Hi jjkf, No, we have no plan for another round although we're +100 into it.
      The weather is our biggest driver now along with trying to get north of the Great Glen as much as possible during the favourable months. Just got to keep plodding on 🤣 Cheers

      @@charliemccartney7055 thanks for the response, some of the best hills in that area too! I’m based in Edinburgh so long drive during the winter months for those and can’t be too picky with weather given work. Hoping to to do the entire glen shiel north ridge at the start of may so hoping for good weather(fingers crossed). Keep up the good work.
