Ben More | Night Hike for Summit Sunrise above the clouds
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Ben More : Why Go Hill Walking at 2am ! ? Hopefully this video explains why I got up at 2am to go up a mountain for a hike. The temperature inversion allowed me to get above the clouds and enjoy perfect views across Scotland's Mountains

Pitch black night hike, but it was for a reason. I wanted to reach the mountains summit as special conditions were forecast for sunrise. This mountain is one of the highest in the area so the alarm was set for 2am and off I went for a steep pull up the mountain in the darkness to see if I could get to the summit before sunrise.....

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down?! It’s magnificent.
As someone else has commented - Wow !! Absolutely stunning - the views, the air clarity, the colours. You're right regarding what hill walkers dream of - a full 360 degree inversion. I've been fortunate to witness perhaps six in my lifetime so far - most of them in Scotland - and each one giving me one of the best days of my life. Utterly memorable at the time and unforgettable memories for the rest of my time on this awesome planet !! Thanks again for the excellent video !
Thanks Howard - yeah the inversion days when you get above the cloud certainly live long in the memory for sure :) One of natures best gifts to hill walkers in the hills and mountains :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Superb Murray. This is a reminder of why I so like your vlogs. They are among my my favourite watches on RUclips. Many thanks for your fine work.
spectacular! memories are made of this
Well earned view, that’s why we do these mad things. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely stunning, Murray. I think the answer to the question why? has been answered by this video. Beautifully shot. Thank you.
Awesome views!
Wonderful. Thank you.
I don't often comment but how on earth could you not - breathtaking, stunning, awesome, how many other words do you want. Superbly presented and a real joy to watch. Thanks for the excellent videos you make, I'm sure they encourage people to get out and about more and that's got to be good. Cheers
Thank you - very much appreciated:)

It's on a bright cold Essex day , been for a walk along the seafront at Holland on sea.
Again Murray , watching this by the fire with a cuppa in my hand - what a video 👍👍
I'd love to be up there, thst inversion is stunning - cold but stunning.
Until covid is gone ,please please keep going 😊😊👍
Thank you 🍻
That is just brilliant. Thanks, Murray. 👍🙂🏴
Getting up at 2am to bring this to us......... THANKS ❤️ Brilliant footage.
Definatley well paid for your efforts cracking vid....best wishes for 2021 we ALL need it .....
breathtaking!💙🗻
Just a simple thanks Murray ! Love watching your vids!
Fantastic video, what a view from the top and well worth the early start!
Thanks Joe, I must admit that I wasnt too sure if the inversion was going to allow me to get above the clouds as I walked up in the dark, but thankfully it paid off - this was a rather good wee mountain hike :) cant wait to get back out and up a mountain once things quieten down :)
Take care and thanks for watching

You make your own luck. Thanks for inspiring us!
I admire your commitment. Amazing results. Thanks for sharing.
A tremendous effort but the results were worth every step. That looked like an a amazing sight to witness, thank you for sharing.
Another stunning vlog, Murray!! Definitely worth getting up at 2am for, pure bliss.
Love it when you get an inversion, once of the best feelings on the hills. You got a Brocken Spectre at 15:30 and a bit of a Fog Bow at 16:20.
It certainly is John - the fog bow came and went (too fast) by the time I had placed the camera what was a stonking fogbow had blown away with just the remnants left!! same thing happened up in Glenshee last month!! :(
Take care and thanks for watching

@@ScotlandsMountains I've been lucky and had 3 Fog Bows, one on Ben A'an (where else), one on Ben Venue and one recently on the Kilpatrick Hills. They only last minutes, so you've got to be quick. Most have never seen them. Have a good New Year.
Well spotted 👍
One Word, Fantastic
Fabulous video and inversion and indeed #stonking weather.. 👊
Stunning video Murray, worth it for us you getting up early :-) great time-lapses and drone footage.
Absolutely glorious, great choice of hill Murray, your gamble paid off. One thing that made me laugh was your comment about sheep eyes looking like the devil in a headtorch! I remember that well from Scafell Pike in the dark on my own doing the Three Peaks back in the 90s, very "otherworldly"!!
The piercing eyes can be a little unsettling at times 😂
Fantastic video yet again. Thank you!
Murray, you must luv those extra RUclips steps. Great to see the drone back😀. Another top vid well done.
Think I walk twice as far going back for the camera !! it was rather chilly on the top too so my numb fingers werent liking the setting up of the cameras!lol

Wow, just wow. 2am's are worth getting up for. Another great inversion, I really don't think you can get much better than this. You've given us some blinding vlogs during 2020 Murray. Thank you so much, Happy New Year and here's to 2021 and another year of your fantastic vlogs. As always, stay safe
Absolutely amazing Murray
Wowee, stunning, thank you so much for sharing.
Fantasticas always.. munro Moonwalker is a firm favourite of mine too, and I was out walking in the dark and up in the clag but on this occasion, I didn't break above them, so was good to see yours!
Yet again absolute quality Murray thanks for sharing stay safe ATB Mark.
Yet another belting v-log, Murray! Thanks for taking us along. What a morning to witness the sun rise over a beautiful cloud inversion. I have to agree, I don’t think it does get much better than that, other than on higher mountain ranges perhaps - but Scotland is perfect - a place I’d love to be right now instead of being locked down. All in good time, be patent, Ian!! 👍🏻😎
Thanks Ian - it is certainly the conditions I always dream of when thinking of hill walking in Scotland - great views from the top of a mountain above the cloud :) hope you get back to Scotland once this is all over
Take care and thanks for watching

Another belter Murray. Hope you and the family had a nice Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Looking forward to your exploits in 2021.
Fantastic!
Another Great Inversion. I managed this year to seen only one. Few weeks ago on top of the Black hill next to Brecon Beacons. My tip is when you want to see It on lower mountain. IT need to be predicted fog in the Valley at the nearest town. Next I checked weather on the summit on the mountain weather site. If this tells me sunny without clouds. Thats a time to go for it. That day end up driving there and back in fog but whole walk above the clouds.
Superb video really enjoyed the photography
Getting spooked in the mirk eh...what were you expecting...a dirty great big highlander with a Claymore thinkin' you were rustling his sheep?...Fantastic video Murry...thank you
No but thats what I'll be thinking next time!! lol

Ahhhhhhh soooo magical!!!
Just outstanding as always
Awesome film Murray. Ive been up there but only on a very nasty day! Loved the night approach. Another great adventure. Im in lockdown trying very hard not to drive up to the lakes and do a wild camp! ..... thanks again for an armchair adventure
Superb Murray, brought back memories of the Liathach summits poking through the clouds viewed from Beinn Alligin. A wet day out with little in the way of views but oh boy once we got above the clouds it was stunning, brought a wee tear to the eye. ATB
Thanks Harry - always remember days like these - I think the best ever inversion I got was on a Corbett near Inverlochlaraig on Hogmanay many moons ago - forecasting wasn’t as good then and I wasn’t expecting it but just as I reached the summit ridge I rose out of the clouds to a breathless heaven - alway remember that one :)

This literally took my breath away!
Now that was definitely worth the early morning Murray! Ben More is a mountain I’ve yet to climb but I have seen a lot of great videos from yourself and others in this mountain. You described this trip really well mate and it made me realise why so many of us climb the mountains. Cheers for sharing👍
yet another fantastic video Murray . been a while since you have had the drone out, great video clip. once again many thanks for sharing your mountain trips. all the best for 2021
same to you John

So beautiful !
The catchy music is back ☺️ Well worth the early start. Stunning Murray 😎
Stunning footage Murray 👍👍
Aw well done mate. Incredible views :)
Spectacular, thank you.
Absolutely beautiful. If I could travel north of the border again soon I'd be doing some of these.
Brilliant video as usual
Fabulous! An experience like that must reconnect one with the universe on a primal level.
How about a “Scotland’s Mountains” photo calendar for next Christmas? Please... 👍
That’s a good idea - might think about that :)
Take care and thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
I think that would be a cracking idea.
Draw your Nm
calendar YES👍
Hi Murray, wow everything came together on that morning. Really hard to top conditions like that and perfect timing. I am sure i can call this vlog a late christmas present! ATB Det
Thanks Det - certainly the mountain conditions we all dream of:)

Yes another great video, capturing the inversion was something I only managed to do once, love your head torch, looks like a headlight on a car
It’s about as bright as a head torch from a car too 😂😂

A cheeky Sunday vlog. 👍🏼 It is Sunday, right? 😂
Alan Rowan will definitely like this one. 👌🏼 Nicely done and I spoke too soon about drone footage. 😂

Fantastic views. You deserved it after such an early start. Your videos have been such a joy during this time, thank you. Happy New Year to you!

@@ScotlandsMountains Luckily for me I've been rationing and I've still a fair bit of your back catalogue to go through. I'm hoping you'll be back when the silliness is over. Just as I'm hoping to get back to the hills! All the best.
Mate absolutely amazing, great video again👍
thanks Ray
That is SPECTACULAR! 😯
I hope you got some great photos?
One of my favourite Munro’s , did it way back in Dec 1998.
Had a fall on the north east side coming down took a wrong route , found getting steep , my ice axe saved me.
Then below was an iron cross a memorial to someone who died at the same spot I nearly died. In 1898 I think. Also a Wessex rescue helicopter crashed at the spot killing the pilot. Could see evidence of .wreckage some wires .Memorial to the pilot is the cross on Ben Ledi.
Nice footage , can understand you wanting to get out early to film it.
Superb, great film it warms your heart!!
Thanks Gavin
Hope you enjoyed it :)

Another stunning video. Love it when a plan comes together, you couldn't have wished for more. Very impressed that you are up & down Ben More in 5hrs considering all the filming you do. Thank you once again. Wishing you a good New Year.

A wonderful video Murray 👍
Thanks Murray, another breathtaking video to add to all the others this year. Thanks for the breathtaking content throughout 2020 and Happy New Year. 🙏
Very impressive Murray. Thanks so much for sharing.
It was certainly an impressive sight :)

For a view like that you wouldn't need to convince me to start hill walking at 2am. Happy new year Murray!
Thanks Julian - absolutely , if I was certain I was going to get those inversion conditions every week I don't think I would sleep at all. Hope you are safe and well at the moment

@@ScotlandsMountains All safe mate, missing the outdoors as I'm sure you are as well. Take it easy! :-)

Stunning video, TV quality viewing and it's almost as if u have a production team up there with you😁
I love a cloud inversion. This is something that I will try to plan more of when I can get back into the hills again in 2021 (fingers crossed) I thoroughly enjoy your videos keep up the good work.
I am also asked why I clamber out of my bed over and over again for sunrise photography. It is without doubt the most magical time of the day and so many people miss it.
have to agree - sunrise and sunset - thats why I like wildcamping - can enjoy both without the rush of getting back down :)
