    Just a thought, get Judith to voiceover all your vids. Attenborough style. What a great start.

    I love these hills. People often describe them as "boring", but in winter they are magical. I snowshoed my way to Tolmont and Tom Bhuide a few weeks before the first lockdown, with a couple of friends. It was tough, but a brilliant day, with so many hares in their white winter coats.

      Absolutely agree - they certainly come in to their own under a covering of snow :)

    Hey Murray. It was great to meet you in person at Ellie Chain Walk today. Didn't want to stop you for too long. Just wanna let you know that we follow your channel and used many of your videos as a guide to find some of the spectacular places in Scotland. Keep it up please. 👍👍👍

    I was on my first freedom day two weeks ago on those very hills. Very spring like, but looking out to the higher Cairngorms I could see that winter was still hanging on.

      Still winter high up as far as I can see from some recent posts - always a reminder to keep the ice axe and crampons on the bag just incase 👍
