Glen Affric Wild Camp: 3 Munros
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- After parking at The River Affric car park I walked the 8.5 miles into Alltbeithe Youth Hostel to set up camp. The following day my plan was to climb the 3 remote Munros starting from behind the hostel.
The Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan group is a tough round of Munros in a remote area with Mullach na Dheiragain being prized for its inaccessibility.
I had a fantastic but exhausting day and an invite into the hostel to cook my meal and relax was most welcome.
My videos are not intended to be an exact guide to any hill, mountain or low level walk featured in the video. I don’t cover every aspect of the route, terrain or difficulties.
Please refer to walkhighlands.co.uk or the book by the SMC, The Munros - Hillwalking Guide, for detailed walk descriptions.
Stay safe out there and enjoy! 😊

Jelly Babies rock👍
Thanks Timothy, jelly babies are the business! 👍
Amazing video! Seems like a great adventure, brilliantly filmed and edited! Well done! 👍👍
Thanks so much, that one will live long in the memory. ❤️
Walk in looked amazing.
Am really enjoying your description of where you're upto and eating etc. Been subbed for a wee while and you are great at filming your travels 😀 👍👍🙏.
The scenery and vistas you captured on the day were breathtaking too. Lucky you 🤓👍
Thanks so much Fraser. Keep watching. Lots more fab mountain scenery coming up! 👍😊
WOW what a views!! Fantastic.
Thanks, it was a great trip. 👍
Ahh….memories. Cycled in sharing one bike between two, my mates old relic loosing a chain right at the start. As you said a tough walk, I was totally cream crackered at the end. Never has a youth hostel been so inviting. Some nice young Germans made us pancakes in exchange for toothpaste. Thanks for all your posts
Brian
Thanks Brian. 👍 Like you, the hostel was a welcome site and it felt like a never ending walk to get there. Thanks for watching. 🙏
Well done … loved it 🙏🙏.. I’m up from London on Monday next week hope to just do the 19k hike around Glen Affric … then into Morvich where I’ll stay for 4 days .. keep posting 👍✌️🙏
Thanks so much Tom, enjoy your hike in beautiful Glen Affric. 👍
Another great walk. The views are a amazing. Thanks for the video.
We cycled in to do your 1st & 3rd hills, we were taking a leisurely late lunch above the bothy when it dawned on me how far behind schedule we were. We may miss the evening bar meal in the pub. We pursuaded the slowest group member to go back. This allowed a faster pace becoming a dash for the bikes & sprint back. Sorting the highered bikes we lost a bolt, luckily finally got a mobile signal, rang the pub. They took our slightly late order, so arrived in the bar for, beer & food, perfect. Returned to the car park the next day & found the bolt. Thanks for bringig back the memories and showing the brilliance of Affric.
Oh my goodness, that sounds like a tight schedule! Glad you found the bolt too and made dinner. I had a similar situation after coming off Slioch. Dinner was booked but we were in a rush to get back along the track at the loch, took forever with tired legs. Managed a 3 min shower at the youth hostel & went to the Torridon Hotel with wet hair but made dinner. 👍
Hi Linda, so I am planning the same trip mid September with a friend. We have booked places in the Youth Hostel and intend to cycle in. Enjoyed your video and it has given me confidence in my plan.
Thanks Ben, enjoy. It looks a great wee hostel. 👍
Nice one Linda, well done . I've still to do these 3 munros i was looking at the same way as what you have done ,walk in and two nights near the hostel . Enjoyed that Linda ..cheers Stevie
Thanks Stevie. I’d definitely recommend the 2 nights if you walk in, much more enjoyable. 👍
Beautiful scenes!! Thanks for sharing x 😃
Thanks Ben. 👍
Well done bagging these Linda. Glad those clouds shifted for you, and it turned into a fantastic day. Looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers, Andy.
Thanks Andy. So glad the weather cleared too, it would have been rubbish not getting those views! 👍
Always a pleasure watching your content Linda. Well done!
Thanks so much Eamonn! Glad you’re enjoying watching. 👍
Great effort to do these solo, they are on my list for this year so now I have the heads up and all the beta I need thanks to you. Stay safe and have fun.
Thanks Russell! Hope you get good weather for them. 👍
Absolutely Brilliant video! Looks like you had a cracking time!
Thanks Adam, it was fab! 👍
Brilliant Linda! What a shift that was. Well done 👍
Thanks Ronnie. 👍
Linda, Great effort on these remote Munro’s. Your on the home straight now to complete so will enjoy your journey to the line. Cheers, Charlie
Thanks Charlie, just waiting on the weather improving to get out again. Fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks for sharing. Looks an amazing day. We have still to tackle these 3, your footage helps with the expectations...😊
Thanks Fiona. If you can book the hostel, there’s bit more luxury. Hope you enjoy when the time comes. 👍
Great to see you working you're way through the more remote Munros and taking advantage of the long Spring days and more settled weather Linda... Good effort 👍😊
Thanks David, getting there. Waiting for better weather again before I set off into the hills! 👍
Superb Linda , done these ones few years ago but you got much better weather than we had . Good to see what we Missed . Love to watch your Vlogs ...
Thanks so much Derek, was pretty 🍀 lucky I think! Thanks for watching. 👍
That looked like a mammoth day in the hills but worth the hard work 🥵 Glen Affric is stunning 🤩 well done 👍 another great trip 🏕🏴🏕🏴🏕🏴🏕🏴🏕🏴🏕🏴🏕🏴
Thanks so much Steve. 👍
Well done Linda, that's a trek for sure and doing it solo is a real achievement, brave too, just watched over breakfast, really enjoyed your video, you smashed it, ATB.
Thanks so much. Yeah, there’s always a wee bit of anxiety doing something like that on your own but it does affect your decision making and I’m more careful. Thanks for watching. 👍
Another epic adventure Linda, stunning views eventually 🏔 worth the hard graft 🥾 I've still to visit there myself, so the hostel might be an option 😀 I really enjoyed the video 📹 well done 👏 atb Brian 👍
Thanks Brian, it was a fab trip! 👍
Well done Linda.
Some amazing views when the clag cleared.
Great spot for a wildcamp.
I had a issue with my exped mat and they replaced it (even got an upgrade from syn to down) Happy days.

Thanks Tam, just heard today they’ve fixed the puncture free of charge. Good service. 👍 Thanks for watching.
Hi Linda, what an amazing day you had. It looked fabulous. I am just back from Glen Affric, albeit not on the hills and the weather was certainly not what you experienced, it was rain, rain and a little snow on the tops. I always think of Glen Affric as the last true Scottish Wildernesses. Well done!
Thanks Kenneth. I’ve been away on the west coast and the weather was wet & windy! Sun doesn’t always shine for me sadly. Thanks for watching. 👍
Great video of a bold trip! I did the same route many years ago from the hostel where I stayed for a couple of nights, having come in from Cluanie over A’Chràileag, and Mulloch Fraoch-Choire.
Thanks Graham, I did think about coming from Cluanie, up the glen but the track was better from the road end at Glen Affric. Thanks for watching. 👍
Fair enjoyed watching this on a driech and horrible December afternoon Linda. I was hoping you would have shown the way off the ridge to get over to Mullach na Dheiragain as I couldn't find an obvious way across when I attempted these some years ago. Ended up missing it out as we were staying at Carn Ban bothy and that's an extra 3 miles each way from your tent. Eventually did MnD from Iron Lodge. Cheers.
Thanks Alan. I couldn’t find an obvious path down despite being very close to the route (according to my GPS). I picked my way carefully down. Traces of a path here and there making my way across towards the ridge leading to Mullach ND. Thanks for watching. 👍
Really enjoyed that Linda. Very good. Am doing these 3 by the same route in 2 weeks time, except I’m staying at the hostel so it was very good to watch the video. Atb gordon
Thanks Gordon, you’ll enjoy the hostel. Warden is super friendly & gives you a hot drink on arrival. Great atmosphere. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@LindaOutdoors I’ve wanted to visit it for years so I’m looking forward to it. That traverse from the bealach looks tough. Gordon
Much respect for these Munros. Makes my ascent of Ettrick Pen tomorrow seem like a wee stroll.
It was a toughie! Thanks. 👍
Spent the night at the beach at the Lochend a couple of years ago, a great pitch. Really enjoyed the video.
Thanks Callum, that looked a great place to camp, might just go back and camp there. What a spot. Thanks for watching. 👍
absolutely amazing Linda! really enjoyed this and was glued to the big telly all the way through! great effort and one I will need to watch again when I get the chance to visit! top drawer! cheers Paul
Thanks so much Paul. I see lots of vlogers using fancy cameras and drones. I like to keep it simple with the GoPro & phone so good to know the footage is worthy of the big telly! 😊 Really enjoyed these hills. 👍
Linda, could you bike to the hostel?
@@PAADVENTURES1 yes, great track until Strawberry Cottage then it’s a rough Land Rover track which is very up & down & rocky. I think most folk would have to get off & push at parts. 👍
@Linda Outdoors thanks Linda!
I did these 3 from Strawberry cottage a few years ago. Never saw a thing, clag all the way. 11 hours.
It would be a tough old slog with no views to reward you, glad it cleared up for me. Thanks for watching! 👍
Looks a stunning place but definitely a good old trek glad the weather cleared up nothing worse than slogging through it and not been able to see anything.i put my porridge into silicone food bags they pack easier than the pots and the bags clean easy and can be reused.
Thanks so much Craig. I did consider decanting the porridge & will definitely do that on multi day hikes. Good tip. 👍
Thanks for uploading, Linda. These still to do ourselves - previously seen ScottishKennyG's video who followed same route as you. You put a more human touch to it, whereas Kenny is a bit of a Glaswegian superman/walking machine, so we can see the reality of it. 🏴⛰
Ha, ha, probably not as fit as he is! Need to check out his video. I watched Cam Hikes video and she gets a bit scared 😳 on her own, worth a watch too. Thanks for watching. 👍
He changed his channel name to Outdoors-Scotland recently. His videos are awesome and a shame he doesn't have more subscribers.
@@nickname6747 I couldn’t find him, that’ll be why! Will check his channel out. Thanks. 👍
I'm up there for the full trail next week
Hope you get some good weather. Enjoy, it’s a beautiful glen! 😊
Hi Linda, smashing video and what an effort, 8.5miles walk in, 3 Munro's the next day then presumably 8.5 miles back to the car park the next day?
Thanks Andy, yeah it was a big 3 day trek especially with the heavy rucksack walking in and out. Needed the 2 nights camping for sure. 👍
Nice video Linda. Ben Alder ... Now the Affrics.... Are you closing in on completing a round ? 🙂
Yes, hoping to complete this year. 19 to go, most of them are remote! 👍
@@LindaOutdoors Do you have won one in mind for your last? p.s don't finish too soon... It's the journey that's special, not the destination ;)
@@chrissolotourburns7889 Carn Mor Dearg for my final one. Really trying to enjoy these last few & hoping for good weather days 🤞
@@LindaOutdoors All the best for the coming months, I'll enjoy watching you finish the journey 👏
@@chrissolotourburns7889 thanks Chris. 👍
Be nice to head out a summit camp with you sometime if you fancy it :)? x
That would be great but I’m grounded at the moment with a new puppy 🐶. Hoping to get back out but realistically it’s going to be next year when she’s old enough to climb hills! I’m going to check out your videos they look great. Thanks for watching. 😊👍
@@LindaOutdoors oh gosh, I couldny be dealing with time away from the hills for that long oooft, big commitment that. awww but congrats haha u will have doggo company up there in no time hehehe
According to the subtitles ,that track went from Drummond rocket to Morbid in the west😂
Ha, ha! Maybe it’s the Scottish accent! I’ve noticed on other people’s videos subtitles are hardly ever accurate. 😂
@@LindaOutdoors so true ,l was at Mulardoch last month wild camping for 5 days , probably 2 days too long for an old bugger like me ,glad to get home Inverness .😂
Great video hope you don’t mind me following you
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed. Glad you’re following my adventures too. 👍
Can’t believe my bulldog actually did this!!…🥹

Check out our latest hike 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video Linda. Glen Affric is my favourite part of Scotland. It’s just beautiful. Tom a Choinnich and Toll Cregach were my first two Munro’s and we’ve also done the circular walk around Loch Affric. The hut by the beach with Sgurr and Lapaich behind it is on a canvas on my landing wall. 😃🏔🥾🏴
I did the two Tom’s on my birthday one year. Need to do them again as weather was horrible, didn’t see a thing! I love Glen Affric too. Special place. Thanks for watching. 👍
