    Epic Achievement James. Never thought of linking these up when I climbed them many years ago. Nice area and set of hills.

    I've filmed a couple of hiking videos and it always makes me laugh when you walk off and leave the camera filming you, because I know how annoying it is to go back and get it! Hahaha
    Great vids mate thanks for the content.

    Thanks for this, James.
    If the trains behave I'm off to Bridge of Orchy next week to do all 5 of these but, more than that, to just spend some unhurried time in the hills catching up with myself. I'll be out for 3 nights, and your video was an excellent recce of the hills and proposed campsites. I'll be walking in from under the viaduct, taking my time. Keep going, you're well on your way to finishing, and then I guess the question will be what next; different routes, different seasons? But that's for another day...

    Another great video James. I would like to say a really big thank you as your adventures and videos have inspired my 10 year old son to take on the challenge. We have just completed our 30th Munro on the epic Braeriach Traverse extended to include Ben Macdui and Cairn Gorm. We have even created a few videos and uploaded these to RUclips. They are not on your level but a great way to chronicle our trips. If you had a few spare minutes to watch these or even leave a comment it would make his day.

    Hi James, that looked a good shift there. I was in the Lake District yesterday and had very similar numbers to what you did there. 16.6 miles and 11.5 hours but only 1800m of ascent. I was glad of the lie in this morning. Cheers for sharing as always
    All the best

    Fantastic route. Thank you James - great to feel back in the hills on a monday morning and I finally get to see the views from the summits as did some of these in the Clag. Still to do Beinn Achaladar and Beinn a Chreachain as i was beaten by the weather when i tried them - they look great.

    @paulharvey9149 10 месяцев назад

    Well done, James - but remember to pace yourself. I imagine with fewer than sixty still to go, you'll be raring for it, but all the same, jelly legs atop isolated munro's whilst you're all alone aren't the best! Looks like the rain came at just the right time for you though!

    A long day. That was some walk out to Beinn Mhanach. We’ll done for completing them.
    I like they hills.
    First trip I done was Beinn Dòrain & Beinn an Dòthaidh.
    First trip with the tent I got as far as the loch at Beinn a'Chreachain (thankfully I’m a lot fitter now).
    Last month I went back and completed Beinn a'Chreachain & Beinn Achaladair with a camp at the latter.
    I shall return one day and do Beinn Mhanach.
