- Suilven - A very special place, North West Highlands - August 2018, On the Adventure Trials Scotland
An adventure to Suilven, it may be only 731 metres high, but its remarkable outline makes it one of Scotland's best known and most easily identified mountains. Packrafting in to this special place through the Inverpolly Nature Reserve starting at Boat Bay and heading into Loch Sionasgaig and a number of smaller rivers and lochs. Its got to be once of the places that has that real wilderness feeling of remoteness and seclusion. These guys are constantly watching over you and you can feel that they are the ones that command this area - Stac Pollaidh, Cul Mor, Cul Beag, Suilven, you are surrounded by them and feel small in their shadow.

Another beautiful film. As an ex-film technician I know how much effort goes into such a polished work. It doesn’t show and that’s the skill. Thank you. I’m working my way through all your films. I’ve spent a weekend as an armchair mountaineer but come the end of May I’m off to Assynt, boots on and Norman MacCaig in my backpack. I cannot wait and your amazing films are really whetting my appetite.
Haha we absolutely love your messages. 😁🙏 Really does make the extra effort worth it. Superb Martyn. 😁👏👏
Only just discovered your channel, probably because I’ve been looking at videos on Suilven. I was lucky enough to camp on the summit in June this year. Watching your video brings me right back there. The most amazing wild camp I’ve ever done. We were lucky to have blue skies and sunshine all weekend. Liked and subscribed 👍
Hi Andy, it’s such a place with a number of ways to get to it. It never gets tired! Thanks for watching buddy. 😁👍
This makes it sound so remote but just drive to
Lochinver and there it is. Still a fantastic mountain and worth seeing.
A tough call coming in from the south side, but nice to see a different approach. I always wanted to climb Suilven (lived in Assynt 20 years) but never made it up there. It's a special place, was up there in spirit with you guys, thanks for sharing.
Hi.. we really enjoyed the route in. Proper adventure. 😁🙏 Thank you for watching.
Loved watching this wow 🤩 what a lovely adventure xx 😘
Hey Tracy! 😊👋.. thank you for your message! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊🙏
another smashing video guys , really enjoyable to watch
Hey, thank you. Some place isn’t it! 😄🙏🤘
Suilven was definitely the highlight of my road trip in Scotland 6 days driving around hiking and wild camping 😍😍😍😍 cant wait for next year.
Yeah it’s a super special place amongst many. Hope you get back to Scotland soon. Take care D&L
Stunning thank you.
What a beautiful area, Scotland is amazing, whatever the weather. Stunning video. Thanks
Thanks buddy. It’s a really special place. 👍
New subscriber....love that. Those boats look awesome. My inflatable Kayak would be way too heavy! . A real adventure. Lovely vid
Thank you very much for watching. 😊🙏🤙
This is really nicely shot. Well done.
Thank you.. 😊🙏
Incredible video. Looks amazing. I love Scotland. I spent some time in Edinburgh over two New Years Eves. 1969 and 1970. I was stationed in England in the US Air Force from 1969-73. Now I’m into hiking here in the Appalachian Mountains.
Thanks Tom! 😊🙏🌻 Hope you’re having a superb time. Stay safe. D&L 🤙
Wow, thats incredible camping on the heed of the Suilven. You 2 are really fit to lug all that gear all that way. Felt for you carrying the boats, reminded me of working at the tatties 🤣
Im off to Assynt tonight to climb
Yes it was! A nice trip. The boats aren’t that heaving and we stashed them before going up the hill. This was a superb adventure, in our own minds anyway. 😁👍
Some adventure you’s had, have climbed Suilven doing the long walk in and out, wouldnt fancy carrying a tent.
What a country we live in🏴🏴
Yes, super fortunate. Thank you for watching. 😊👍
Fantastic adventure guys
Thanks Darrell. 😊🙏

Hey Jeanie Watson thank you very much. When we read comments like this it makes the extra work of making our wee films worth it. It’s great that we’ve, in some small way helped encourage people to get outdoors. Getting outdoors is what keep Mrs and I sane! 😂😀🙏 Take Care L&D
💖
Just brilliant. Well done!
Thank you Phil. Glad you enjoyed it. 😀🙏
You two are an inspiration, loving your videos. Hoping to head up to Scotland for some wild camping next year, beautiful place.
Skibidibong’s Adventures hiya... thank you that’s very kind of you! 😊🙏 This was a great trip and something similars worth considering when you come to Scotland. All the best for now. D&L
A special place indeed. Just catching up on videos I haven't seen. None of them disappoint, just itching to get out now. Thanks for sharing.
Mike Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying them and being inspired. Thank you again for watching. 😊🙏

Cheers again Tony. You must have had a night in with our channel lol. Thank you for your support. :-)
Incredible
Thanks Stephen
A well shot video of an epic trek. Congratulations.
Robert Skipworth thank you very much for watching. That one was pretty awesome, we’ll probably do it again in the future. 😊🙏
On the Adventure Trails - Scotland Passed through Assynt in June supporting our son cycling NC500. Missed the views so. definitely coming back. It was in the 1970s we last visited. Trouble is we now live in Sussex!
@@trepicks a long trip but worth it, if the weather plays the game. :-)
Love you guys and your videos. Thanks for inspiring folk to get out and about :-)
Matthew... thank you very much for an inspiring message... :-) :-)
You guys are living life to the max im envious 👍
That was an awesome video, Suilven is one that is still on my list of hills to do it looks fantastic. What a game wife you have too its brilliant to see you guys so happy doing great things together.
Thank you again Gary... Yeah she's pretty awesome it has to be said. NOW, get planning your trip to Suilven, its a topper of a hill. :-) Thanks again Gary.
Beautiful video in a stunning part of Scotland (assynt) well filmed David and suilven wow!!
Take care atb Alan Gregory adventures 🦒🦒🦒🦒
Alan Gregory Adventures THE GREAT OUTDOORS thank you buddy. 😀👍🙏
Clachtoll Bay campsite AND Suilven; there are no finer locations in Assynt. Camped there a number of times; a fantastic well run and friendly site . Climbed Suilven twice, Canisp and Stac pollaidh. An all round stunning area of Scotland!
DERWENT2 couldn’t agree more! The whole area is perfect. Thank you for watching. 😀👍🙏
I'm planning to walk Suilven and Beinn Alligin later this year, and your videos give an BRILLIANT taste of what's involved! Great camerawork, appropriate choice of music, and just the right length overall - enough to see the reality of what these daunting-looking mountains present, but not too long either. Very well done and thank you very much!
Hey Phil, Thank you very much for taking the time to message. Really appreciate your kind comments. I’m pretty sure you’re going to have a great time on those trips. Fingers crossed 🤞 for good conditions for you. D&L 😀🙏
New sub here, what an amazing place. 👏
Thank you for watching. 😊🙏
Omg that was brilliant! Nice to see vid of the decent, haven't seen any of that. Great clip, thanks for the journey 👍
Oh how brilliant!!!!
Thank you for watching. It’s a cracking please to play in isn’t it. 😁👍
@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 yes it is we went up there a lot in the 80’s, and I’m planning on going back maybe this year. Never done Sullivan but will do before I’m too old. Great filming btw
@@freedomofabird thank you and enjoy it when it comes. 😀🙏
Wow, looks truly wonderful
Oswinn thank you and it is! 😀👍
I must say I only discovered your channel a few days ago researching a trip to Skye, but they are some of the best videos I've seen. Your presentation is understated and enjoyable and your videography is stunning. You've gone to many of the destinations I am planning on visiting soon, as my kids are getting to the age now to be able to undergo (and enjoy!) some of these adventures. Thank you!
Hey ... thank you so much for your kind words. Not been able to get out and about as much this year for obvious reasons. All the best! 😊🙏
Subscribed, utterly beautiful!
Thanks for watching Max. :-)
There's a reason the word adventure appears in your channel name.....adventure is definately your game and what an adventure that was. Awesome....what a place to camp!
We do our best Julian... Always worth the effort to get up there. Thank you! :-)
Lovely video. The only thing is you made the mountain look so scary to climb. I walked both peaks Caisteal Liath and Mheall Meadhonach comfortably in a day from just south of Lochinver. The latter required a bit of care though. Lovely walk in, watched a Golden Eagle.
Hey Malcolm, Thank you for watching. Not sure how we managed to do that. Awesome adventure however you get there. 😀🙏
hello stranger. loved this video david, now that was an adventure. that view at 6:35 makes it all worth it mate. absolutely stunning. all that seclusion just for yous two. excellent editing 👏
What a fantastic video, makes me want a pack raft, how much are they if you don’t mind me asking and where from? Thanks Tony😀👍
Hi Tony, They aren’t the cheapest but very good. You can also hire them to give it a try. We hired then ended up buying from Andy Toop here.. backcountry.scot/product-category/packrafting/
Another lovely video. I don't know if I would have the courage to pitch my tent as close to the edge as that though.
Colman Quinn Was a lovely spot to camp. 😀👍
Great video. Suilven is hard no matter which way you approach it, the climb up the Bealach Mor is so steep, but it's been one of my best ever wild camps.
John Mcsporran yeah we took our time getting up. It was a burn on the muscles that’s for sure. 😀👍
Stunning film, and what a fantastic place to set up camp! Very jealous👍
Joss..thank you sir! :-)
Excellent, and inspiring. 👍🏻
Thank you Jamie.... :-)

It’s a must, beautiful area. Hope you seen our Outer Hebrides films! 😀
@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 been many times before! Still love it!
Excellent video friend l love to see more Adventure
awesome song for the video
Great stuff David, Suilven is always worth making a longer movie about, sublime perch in the Access B&B! all the best Andrew
Cant beat the Access B&B Andrew. I may recall you having one also! :-)
Hi Loved the video. Just started following you. Do you have a route that you used for this trip I would love to give it a go thanks jc.

What kind of kayaks are those? Been considering getting something like this?? 👍
Hi Brian, they are Alpacka Rafts. Alpacka Raft alpackaraft.com/
Just discovered your channel - absolutely great vlogs visually but might be worth investing in some sort of microphone/audible set up when you restart vlogs after covid, as could hardly hear what you were saying and I wanted to hear it as the quality visually was sooooo good.
Hi KM, we’ve got a better GoPro with slightly better audio now. We don’t really want to start letting the filming over take the adventure so we’re keeping the filming kit to a minimum. Really appreciate the feedback and the link Ely kind words. Thank you! 😊🙏
As always, nicely done. 👌🏼Your drone footage was top banana!
It's a grand pitch that, I think I'd choose that spot over the summit if I was to go back. Cheers, Robin.
Thanks Robin.. :-) Cant wait to get on the next one!
@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 where to next David? I've got a full house completion next weekend.
Looks like the perfect place for me to escape from my useless Government (Planet England),haha.
Good drone work too...👍🍻
Taking me to places I would otherwise never see. Beautifully filmed as always. 👍
Amazing, what an adventure indeed! What were those pack-rafts you used? Looked ideal for a change of pace from walking. lovely stuff!
Survival and Bushcraft They are Alpacka Rafts.. we got our from here ⏩ backcountry.scot/
Inspiring adventure and an immersive vlog! Really enjoyed this. Although it maybe obvious but did you approach the climb from the south side using the Bealach Mor? I'm thinking of attempting something similar soon and would be grateful for an info.
Thank you Edd. Yes from the south. Heres the Blog from this adventure. otatscotland.co.uk/new-blog/2018/8/29/suilven
Brilliant video! - what make are the kyaks please?
Thanks Robert! 😊🙌 The packrafts are Aplacka Raft classic series.
Thanks very much - I think I might save up for one!
Beautiful upload, what type of packrafts where they?
Michael Leigh Alpacka Raft. We go our from here ⏩ backcountry.scot/ 😀👍
I loved the film, but what music did you use?
Thank You! 😀.. music titles are in the info. 🎧 🎵
Furryboots is this place guys 👍
The Film Eddie had that route.
Edie
Scotland is so very beautiful, but the weather....
Hahah it is indeed. The weather just added to the adventure challenge lol 😂
the music was not necessary. I wanted to feel the quiet and with that awful singing one didn't get a chance.
Okay, sorry you didn’t like it and felt that was all that was worth commenting on.
Great looking mountain and wild remote scenery. Love the way your tent gives scale to the size of the mountain and landscape
It’s a special place that’s for sure. Thank you for watching. 😀🙏
