Bruach na Frithe On The Black Cuillin Mountains: An Isle Of Skye Adventure!

- Bruach na Frithe : The Early Bird catches the worm ; Red Skye in the morning - shepherds warning... Two well know phrases that applied to me on this trip onto the Black Cuillin Ridge in Skye. Having failed (only just) to get a view from this mountain the last time I was keen to get to the top before the heavens opened and obscured the view.

Have fun and hope the weather shines for your trip :)

Fellow Bristolian here, never been to Sky but this is making it more tempting than ever.
Glad someone gets up at stupid o'clock and shows us brilliant videos
I sometimes question my sanity Harry 😂 however sometime it can be worth it :) that sunrise was pretty special :)
Thanks for watching
Murray
Not only do I have "sunrise" envy, but I also have snack envy. Nice choice with the fruit pastels. 🙂
always enjoy a sugary snack on the hill Jules :)

How priviledged we are to be able to come with you to these mountains .That sunrise was magical and your photograpy did it justice inseed. Thankyou once again for sharing your joy of Skye with us all 😊😊😊.

Red sky at night, shepherds delight...... Red sky in the morning, SAILORS warning. It's a common misnomer that is repeated so often, shepherds warning', that it has now become the well known weather rhyme. Why it is 'sailors' is because the red sky in the morning proceeds bad weather, usually wind & rain, hence giving the sailors warning to lower their sails. If it was for shepherds they wouldn't be bothered, the sheep are more than equipped to cope with wind and rain. I thank you. Great upload Murray, you've seen some sights, that's for sure. ATB
What a gobsmackingly beautiful sunrise! Certainly worth the early morning. Skye really does seem to be your spiritual home. Maybe someday you’ll be able to buy a tiny piece of it and have a second home there. Oh, well, even if you never do, the camper van makes these adventures very much easier, doesn’t it? Cheers and ATB!
I think every word you say there I agree with - I absolutely love The Isle of Skye Erin :) Maybe one day it'll will be my home :)

Another excellent video with stunning scenery. And a crackin t-shirt 🎸
All i can say is that i cannot stop watching these, amazing every time
🙏
Thank goodness you stopped to take a time lapse of an amazing sunrise..wow...the views from the top were truly stunning..glad you got back.down before getting soaked...many thanks and best wishes
Thanks Andy - it was a bit of a rush as I had to virtually run up the trail to a point where I had a view back to the mountains and the sky was getting pinker and pinker!! just made it in time to get the timelapse though :)

Wahl Murray. Thanks for taking us up the Black Cuillins. As usual your filming is superb. Loved the sunrise.
thanks for bringing back some good memories, went up that mountain about 20 years ago, on a blazing hot day, Mrs Gary, got on to the ridge and got the hight wobbles so i left her clinging to a rock while i got to the top. on the way back the only man made object was the Slig inn, who's presence hurried up the walk back, the first few in the bar didn't touch the sides.
Almost otherworldly.
Awesome 🎉
Thanks again Murray. Really appreciate it.
There are some rock hugging parts of the trail!
I like your version of red sky in the morning…I say “sailor's warning”
It’s always nice to be out of the rain with a hot drink .That's a
long ride home but I’m sure enjoyed your time
Take care 🇨🇦❤️
Thanks Sue, it is definitely a rock mountain range - the Cuillins on Skyes - I always enjoy my trips here :) I end the saying with shepherds warning :)

So glad to see your efforts for such an early start rewarded Murray. Wow, what a sunrise 🌅. And what an absolutely awe inspiring place Skye is, we simply must visit. I'm the meantime thank you for sharing your adventures in this incredible place with us 😊👍
Wow, that was some sunrise.
Makes me want to get out early and see a few myself, though I'm more of a sunset person.
Thank you for sharing
Take care
All the best
D & B 👍
thanks folks - got to admit I love both :) sometimes sunset is a little easier depending on the time of year though :)

Stunning morning Murray. Fine views up there indeed. Cannae beat the fruit pastilles. 😉
Cheers Kevin - always get a nice sugar rush off the fruit pastels 👌👌😂👍
Gosh, I just love your videos. And Skye is so magical. Have been there many times but always driving. Wish I could walk some of the smaller hills, but it’s not possible with my bad knees. So I just watch your adventures. Thanks, take care, safe walking/climbing 🥰🏴
beautiful time lapse and drone footage
One of your best, I think. The colours behind you on the ridge walk... truly breathtaking. Loved the T-shirt. You're a star, Murray.
Thanks Joan - its hard not to get stunning footage from Skye - such a wonderful place :)

Great sights, thank you ever so much again , Murray! Great joy to watch!
Hi Murray, fantastic mate, I do love your videos from Skye. Thanks for sharing these amazing views with us as always. We had a very similar sunrise a few weeks ago, the sky looked like it was on fire.
All the best
Dave 😀🥾⛰🏴
Thanks Dave, I agree - The Isle of Skye is a special place indeed :) I always look forward to my visits there - one of my favourite places (especially when you can capture sunrises like this one :)) - keep up the good work

Absolutely stunning. The cullin ridge looks impassable !
Thanks for the video and Yet another area on my list to tick off. Beautiful
Skye is a wonderful place to visit Wayne , it has so many walks and hike in a variety of different landscapes too - I could spend years here and still not get bored me thinks :)

Wonderful views and fantastic photography. Thanks Murray. Really brightened up my overcast morning.
Just goes to show that there is beauty to behold in Scotland in all weathers and all seasons. Keep up the great work, it is always appreciated and motivates me to get outdoors more often.
Thank you Murray, beautiful Skye mountains, absolutely stunning, like a fruit pastille myself, they no last long though 🤣 been racing the rain all month, getting a right soaking down here 🤣 glad you got to the top to see the view.
Hi Murray, what a stunning sky & views. Seasons greetings to you & your family from the Aberdeenshire coast
Thanks Deborah - much appreciated . Same to you and yours

Brilliant video as always Murray. The sunset was stunning and well worth the early start you had. Mountain goat comes into mind watching you doing the ridge walk but the views from the summit are hard to describe they were just magical. Glad you made it down before rain got to bad and I was jealous of the fruit pastilles although my favorites are wine gums. Thankyou again and look forward to your next adventure.
Thanks Julie , much appreciated. I must admit to enjoying a wine gum too (maybe more so than the fruit pastels !:)

Was there this year Murray ,glorious sky as I set off but as I hit the ridge the low cloud started coming in from the west and then by the time I hit the summit the wind had picked up big time and then the rain came . Saw nothing at the summit lol and was a a bit naughty getting off the Ridge . Will defo be going back again once I’ve bagged the last 4 Munro’s.Great vid again Murray and what a Stunning Sunrise to the day . Stay safe and keep them vids coming !! Merry Xmas to you 👊👊
Amazing scenery and looks a lovely part of the world. Must visit!!!!
That Sky! 🔥
Was one of those morning Dave , a fine sunrise - was thinking I should've maybe got up a little earlier but was glad to be somewhere to see it :) A fine trip again on Skye :)

I love Skye but I also smile when Dun Caan on Raasay comes into shot. Not high but a stunning little gem with views of Torridon, Applecross, Cuillin and Storr. I hope you are able to do it one day. Great video as always Murray.
Would love to head over at some point - closest I’ve been was a wildlife spotting boat with the family a few years back :) 👌👍

Breath taking ❤ Thank you 🙂🫠
That was a lucky journey Murray. Thats a mountain I need to go back to. It was my final Munro and with mates and champagne we cracked it in the most horrendous wet stormy weather. Ive got the video !.That sunrise was amazing
Thanks Lyndsey - always an excuse to return, is to see the views missed if you went up in bad weather - I can thoroughly recommend a return trip to this summit as the views are rather good :) keep it for a good day :)
Thanks for watching

Awesome views my friend
soooooooo love the Cuillin - best mountain area in the UK!
4.5hrs in the car for you is still less that half the time for me/many others 😉
Beautiful. cheers Murray.
🙏
Fantastic Murray… well worth the race 👍
Thanks for posting this; we got a sunrise like that the other day but not with the Black Cuillin behind it. Amazing country you are blessed to live in and thanks as always, for sharing it with us.
It was probably the best dawn skies I have seen in a while - just lucky I was where I was with the mountains beside me :)

Wanted to drop a comment to say thanks for the awesome videos. I've only just discovered your vids and am catching up because oh boy they're fantastic! Truly make me want to grab my walking boots and get into the mountains right now. My toddler also loves the vids, you're one of the few RUclips channels we all enjoy watching together as a family. Thank for all the adventures!
Hi Debbie, thanks for the nice comment and welcome to the channel - really hope you (and your family) enjoy the videos - I have some longer videos coming over the next few weeks so hope you enjoy them :)

A few years ago I raced the rain on Sgurr a Bhastier and also lost.
Thanks for showing us the great views from Bruach na Frithe. Fantastic as ever.
It can rain for 40days and 40nightz on Skye sometimes (or so I am told ) 😂😂👍
@@ScotlandsMountains I've seen it. Turns roads into rivers.... 😀
You’ve definitely sold Skye to me. Will have to get over some time
You’ll not regret it Simon - it’s a special place :)

There are sunrises then there are Murray sunrises 🌅 what a sky. And the ridge, just amazing. The cuillins really are a beautiful rugged place. Cheers Murray, stay safe ATB
Thanks Tony - a special place indeed - always enjoy my trips to Skye 👌👍
This brings back wonderful memories of a perfect winter day on the same route Murray, something very rare on Skye so it is ingrained deep in my memory banks, starting and finishing in the dark, but the bit in between was magic :)
Sounds like a memorable day :) such an amazing place to have an adventure - live the Black Cuillin :)
Thanks for watching

Thank you Murray for taking us on an amazing adventure. Always love seeing Skye and what a sky 😊 l spotted the sweeties on the side before you mentioned them, gotta have sugar when climbing. Take care Alioban
haha - that made me smile - you spotted the fruit pastel ;) I always enjoy a little sugar rush on a hike when feeling tired - just gives a wee boost if calories are required :)

@@ScotlandsMountains I'm good thanks murray, same to you and the family mate 🤜🤛
Beutiful!!!
You can see why Collie preferred the Cuillin to the Alps. Such beauty without the masses of people. As long as you time things right and pick your routes wisely.
Gorgeous sunrise 🌅!
You're an artist Murray, what a great summit.
thanks Simon - much appreciated

Amazing yet again Murray,and the drone footage is amazing,thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience ❤🏴❤
Ah shame you didn't get to the summit for the sunrise but what views from any of the Skye summits when you get them. Fell in love with Skye again recently, going out of season was sublime. We took jelly babies 😉
Ah yes - the classic Jelly Baby snack, its been a while since I had some , I think after Gerry introduced me to the Irn Bru ones , I cant bring myself to eat normal ones again ;)lol

Great video as always Murray, god only knowa what time you get to bed and rise in order to make these videos!
Also, i have you to thank for being £150 short in my bank account! After seeing you in that Kinesis jacket so often I tried one on instore and it waa bloody warm, 10minutes later it was in my car.
Did someone drag a bag of pebbles up to pebble dash that trig point?
Wonderful! Thank you. What month was this shot in? If you had the choice wld you go in late feb (for possible snow experience with appropriate equipment) or wait until April for longer hours and perhaps better weather although it is Scotland west?
