Think I've watched most of your videos now ,and there is something special about this one. The photos are something else.we are so lucky that you and others like yourself put all the time and effort in to share these moments with us cheers
Thanks Harry - very much appreciated - glad you enjoyed it. I had this one on the bucket list for some time and was glad when I got round to doing it :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
You really have given us some fantastic videos recently - inversions, fog bows and halos and now moon bows - absolutely superb.Thank you. Those rock faces were probably once trolls caught out at sunrise! I do hope our knees are less painful and the break is helping. 🗿🗿🌕🥃🔥
Thanks Anne- I have indeed had a good run :) the moon bow was pretty special TBH think it couded over a bit more as the night went on from memory - a fine trip though :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
Murray, you must have the strongest back in the world, lifting that heavy backpack up and down those mountains the way you do. But l thoroughly enjoy journeying with you. Thanks for sharing.
Some stunning video and pictures of your camp site, such beautiful colour, some great memories for your old age, thanks for all your hard work and sharing once again 😎🏴
Hi Murray you never fail to Disappoint with your Amazing video's 👏, thought one of the faces looked like a Lion 🦁 the other one a grumpy old man 👴 ,Beautiful scenery looked very chilly but with a lovely warm 🔥, loved your mums story , beautiful 🌟 enjoy a we glass of whisky to keep you warm,beautiful just Beautiful ever where you look in Scotland and what a 🌅 thank-you for sharing take care luv Susan x
Thanks Susan - it was a rather chilly evening and morning but the wee fire helped me keep warm (along with the whisky! :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks Erin - knee rest is starting to work now (I think!!lol) might try it out this weekend (I tried it out last month and failed miserably!! video to come!!lol) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
Just what I needed Murray, Perth has had more than 31+ days so far this summer at over 35°C! so a wee chilly lochanside camp was just the ticket. Thanks again for taking us along with you on your adventures.
Hello Murray. Another average video 😂🤭. Wor lass and myself throughly enjoyed this video. The night shots of the tent and fire was fantastic. The surrounding views stunning. The hole video fab. Well done. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍
Murray this is incredible. I can definitely see the channel becoming more innovative with your photography and your skills. Always a real pleasure to watch. Planning on a munro every month this year. I'm looking for a suitable spot near to the Cairngorm Ski Centre in summer as I'm heading up to do Cairngorm and Macdui, any ideas for a backpacking spot mate?
Thanks Marco (this was actually filmed a few years ago , but I put it up this week as I have not been able to get out due to a knee injury ) - hope the videos continue to improve though and I always try and get the best of what I do out if I can :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains oh that's not good about your knees as there the most important part of the body to keep hiking. Hope you regain your strength soon. Take care.
That is a freaking stunning photo, Hoping to get up your way end of the year, great job with the videos. and great job editing and putting them together.
Got to agree. I’ve hit the hill from both sides. The Led ouch approach gets the Munro bagged if that’s what you’re all about. But the approach from Turret side is far more interesting. Did it with my bro and found it had a challenge or two.
Hope you get your knees mended soon too - I am hoping to test mine again this weekend on a small hill , resting them for a few months will hopefully help (time will tell) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
Been a fan for awhile but this one really hit home. A visit to Perthshire is on my bucket list. Then you said you were looking down on Comrie, the village that my third great grandfather left 170 years ago to come to the US. Very special.
Just came across your amazing videos Murray.. always have wanted to do something like this. These vids just might give me the kick up the ass I need haha. Keep up the good work 👏
Enjoyed the video. I took my 7 year old daughter up Ben Chonzie a few weeks ago. What a place. She told me that 'she'll never go on a hill walk again with me' 😂😂🚶
I watch your epic videos, the hour and a half fantastics, and think: these are unbeatable, then come across a wee absolute gem of a trek like this and I'm still astounded.... I genuinely love your cinematographic style and editing. Keep going Murray, and I promise, I'll keep watching!
Cracking video really enjoyed it. Really think you should contact a publisher. With your knowledge an experience of Scotland’s mountains it would be a great read! ATB
The night filming was so beautiful All the warm colours from browns to the bright yellow of the fire with the reflection on the frozen water looked so welcoming. That cracking ice was creepy, all the things that you could imagine That was a very enjoyable video Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
Cracking ice is well known here in Minnesota. In fact there is a lake named Ice Cracking Lake which is located about 20 miles SW of the Mississippi River headwaters. I heard it making a lot of noise a few years ago while out on a late winter day hike.
Glad you put this one out Murray, looked like a great round, and for your wee bit of family connection to the area. Stunning photo of your tent at the lochan.
Such good views and editing. Great to see everything, even the packing away as it helps develop us amateurs. Was hoping to see you get to the car, that feeling of warmth again and the finish line but there’s always next time. Thank you again.
Absolutely brilliant Murray what another top drawer video of a high camp it looked like the old faces of chonzie were looking out for you overnight making sure you were looking after there ground so to speak .well done
Thanks John - Ithink those faces were indeed keeping an eye on me lol Still have nightmare about them!!lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
I think I can count on one hand the amount of times I have found a billiard flat pitch on the hills !! lol if only they were available at every summit for a camping spot ! Take care and thanks for watching Murray

Can't believe your full winter gear isn't as beautifully colour coordinated as in your previous video 🤣😉 wonderful overnighter, you look like you really appreciated the warmth of that twig stove. 🔥 You're not alone in your dreams I frequently dream about being crushed in my tent, always wake up unscathed though. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Awesome photos. I like to follow your adventures on the map as you go around. On the map, Ben Chonzie is spelt Ben Chonȝie, a character I've never seen before. It's called a yogh and was used in middle English and older Scots.
Thanks Arthur - very interesting , in fact I have just bought a book by Peter Drummond and it was sometimes spelt Ben y Hone (which is how my mother also pronounced it too). I think Ben Chonzie maybe pronounced Ben Honzy (going by walkhighlands pronunciation - I am definitely no expert!!) Another name it goes by is Beinn Chaoineidh (again just researched this form my books - all very interesting stuff - however from now on I am going to call if Ben y Hone :):) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
Thanks Blair - knee is slowly getting better ( after a few set backs - all will be revealed in the vlogs over the coming weeks if I get time to edit them!!lol) Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks John - got a few vlogs I need to edit that will go through the bad knee at some point! Hoping it mends soon - getting mountain withdrawal symptoms!1lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Great round Murray, really loved the rock faces ( left one = man with bandana, right = hog monster ! ). Nice blow up view of distant Arran mts could see the Sleeping Warrior", although it looks more impressive from Bute. Never alone in the mts with 2 faces a sleeping Red Indian and a moon halo ! Look forward to your next adventure. MS.
Once again murray brilliant video and commentary lovely to see you are always really enjoying yourself and that makes me happy can't wait to get the summer months and get out on the hills 😀well done keep them coming
It’s a brilliant route I did it as a hill run back in the good old days . Definitely better than hiking up the other way to the Ben Chonzie but I still like that a few weeks ago.
Yes, I used the map to find you, using nothing but the shape of the Loch! Such a grand place when you're there but looks like not very much on the map! A stunning round and a perfect camp, heads and all haha. Great photo of the moon halo, pretty cool that. Even though it was cold I'm sure, you don't give any real indication how cold it is, you're just used to it by now haha. Great video mate, top job🏞🤘
Really do enjoy watching your adventures murray , don't get doing much now due to a recurring back injury but like others have said you take us along the way. Hope your knee recovers asap ATB wullie
I was just thinking about visiting this area at some point before summer. Don't think I'll do the hills you visited but I'd definitely do the low walk along the Loch that Ray did when he camped up Ben Chonzie with you. I completely agree with you.. Ben Chonzie does look like a good walk if you approach it from Loch Turret. As for your knees I hope you recover from the pain. Now is definitely the time to rest up and be ready for summer in the next few months. ATB Gaz.
The best part about the cold it would seem is no midges. Those rock faces were def creepy. Always look forward to your videos, I'm even thinking of doing something similar here in the Flinders Ranges, I'm never comfortable in front of the camera though.
twas a tad cold Julian!! PS I havent forgotten about your email - I will reply - honestly!! just a bit snowed under at the moment- I'll try and reply at the weekend sir :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray
Done Auchnafree last winter in deep snow it was amazing , with my girlfriend who is also from Crieff .. We kept to the Landrover track to Auchnafree from the route you did, I'm wondering if you did too ? You didn't show that . And did you see any mountain hares , we seen plenty in the snow , and hundreds of little foot prints everywhere ..
Hi, its a wonderful walk - I went straight up onto the tops and didnt use the track that takes you up form the loch (I have used that on my previous trips though :)) A great walk with great views :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Thanks again Murray. I’ve got a similar folding fire box as you and wondering what you take up to burn? I’m packing small bits of kindling and looking for a better solution. Ta!
Hi Brian , I take a fire log and usually saw it in two pieces before leaving . They last about 90 minutes in total depending on wind etc etc Heavy but I wouldn't burn anything from the hill (not that there is much to burn!! lol) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
Great video Murray. Looked a great camp. Out of interest and for others who might want to use the log burner you used. Did you take your own firewood up with you and does it produce a lot of ash ?
Hi Steve , I sometimes take up a fire log it burns for around 90 mins (I sometimes saw it in half beofre leaving the house so I have two bits to burn). I will let it burn out and it burns away to nothing , not much ash left afters that . Not much in the way of firewood in the treeless scottish hills and TBH one thing that really grates is when I see tree branchs (usually in lower down areas near water) hacked off (most probably for firewood. It doesnt even burn and the tree is destroyed! Anyway - will stop ranting now ;) Been a while since I have used the stove as not been out due to knee issue and might ditch it in the future as it adds extra weight too :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains Thanks for response Murray. Yeah really gets me irresponsible people hacking live trees for firewood and killing trees. I bought wife some down pants for winter wildcamping . I've got the Rab Argon ones. So I don't have to buy a fire stove now. 😉 🤣no more whinging "I've cold legs now from her ' 🤣 hope the knee gets better soon 🙏
