    Hi, hope you don’t mind a late comment from a summer-only hiker (I’m a teacher) but I often find water an issue when doing ridge walks… I remember having to drink out of a puddle on the 5 sisters I was that dehydrated! Any water tips for this hike? Carrying 4 litres is just too much weight.

    My friend and I headed up this morning but from Kinlochleven, in reverse. Cloud was down and I'm not the best on exposed ridges and got panicky in the thick mist. How bad is the ridge? Keen to try again on a clear day. Used to love fun scrambley ridges when I was younger, but now so nervous and almost get vertigo.

    • @ScottishMunroJourney
      @ScottishMunroJourney  2 года назад +1

      The ridge itself is fantastic, yes it has steep drops off either side but not ‘sheer’ so doesn’t seem so bad 😁 just a bit if care needed & the most difficult part of devils ridge can be avoided.. enjoy 😁
