- #ThinkWINTER - From the Mountaineering Scotland Website:
For many of us winter is when our mountains come into their own. Dazzling white snow under blue skies, crisp underfoot with views stretching to forever with crystal clarity; the scrape and bite of crampons on ice, the thunk as a well-swung ice-axe embeds itself securely in perfect snow-ice. Even the white-out, the numbing wind and the face-shredding blizzard are part of the sensory treat that is a Scottish mountain winter. And we love it all.
But we have to be honest: many of Scotland’s mountains are serious undertakings, particularly so in winter conditions, and will require skills and equipment beyond those needed for normal summer hill walking.
Before starting on winter mountaineering you should first make sure your navigation and hillcraft skills are up to scratch under summer conditions and then look to develop those skills so that you are ready for the added challenges of winter. Mountaineering Scotland runs specific winter navigation courses, winter skills and avalanche awareness courses to help you gain or improve skills.

Lovely video guys. Thank you 😊
Thank you David 😃🙏
Beautifully shot as ever guys.
Cheers Douglas.. appreciated.. :-)
Amazing stuff, enjoying yourselves like wee kiddies, if you have wee uns, bet you can't wait until you can get them up on the hills to enjoy times like that, cos that's what it's all about really, teaching your kids to enjoy the wild.
John Johnson we are all still young underneath it all!! Lol Yeah, the grandson will be in hiking boots as soon as his feet are big enough lol. 😀🙏💪
What a cracking day in the hills....I'm just a little bit envious....:-)
Thank you Julian 😀🎄👍❄️

Lovely video, looked like a cracking day out. Cheers guys.
Leon H thanks very much appreciate the support. 😀🙏❄️
Nice one David and Lisa. Some fantastic light on the surrounding hills. And it looks like you had it all to yourselves
Ian Tupman Thanks 😊 🙏 We almost had it all to ourselves, only two other very nice guys on the hill at that time. The light and cloud levels were amazing! 😀🙏
Wow those views were amazing and it looks like you had the place all to yourselves ! Thanks for sharing and take care out in the hills :D Teddy
Some great looking sky’s eh! Merry Xmas Teddy! 😀❄️👍
Absolutely they looked amazing . Merry Xmas and all the best to you both from me and my human companions :D Teddy
Glad somone has the crack going back to pick camera up 😂 i was up there few months back, pulled up side of loch for a few nights... Did an ariel circular with drone of the loch from where i was parked. Just started a channel, its on there.
Thanks for watching as always. Will take a wee look. 😀👌
Great video folks - love Ben Vorlich, it’s one of the closest for me to head up (not been up this winter yet tho!) - looked nice and snowy ❄️❄️👌👍

M😊
Hey Murray, Just watched your latest vlog, superb. Thanks, Ben Vorlich is probably our closest also, pretty handy.😀🙏
Good one, you must climb the hill twice what with all the coming and going with the camera. Nice to see the winter munros as they are too far for me in winter so I tend to stick to the border hills. Cheers.
We defo do an extra few extra steps lol :-) Thank you for watching.
Ben Vorlich looks absolutely majestic with the snow cover. I've got to admit I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to tackling the hills during winter. Videos like these make me jealous.
I've only just found your channel today but am enjoying watching your content. The filming and editing is so professional. Happy to call myself a new subscriber. :)
Hey Ewan, Thank you for your kind comments. There’s a few things to learn about winter walking but don’t let the snow put you off. Find a hill you’re comfortable with and just go for it. You can always come back down if you’re not feeling it. Maybe choose one that’s likely to be reasonably busy. Anyway, HNY and thanks again. L&D 😀🙏
@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 Happy New year to you too. Wishing you a great 2020. 😊🎉
Cracking winter conditions, some beautiful filming. I'm heading a lot further north into Skye soon and watching this has got me really excited 😁
Thank you Jodie. I hope you get some snow for your trip. 😀👍
Nice one guys. My first ever winter hill, nae ice axe or crampons and nearly came a cropper. Lessons well learned that day.
Kevin Russell we could probs have just used our walking sticks and it would have been fine on that snow. Once it freezes though, different story. Every day is a learning day! Thanks for watching mate. Marry Xmas from us both. 🎄❄️😀🙏
Merry crimbo too x
Absolutely stunning scenery, I just love your videos on RUclips always brilliant to watch.
We really do appreciate your support Robert, thank you and Merry Xmas! 😀❄️👍
This is proper "Going out to play in the snow" footage...😊 You caught some amazing winter shots in this one David. I'm kinda thinking Lisa enjoyed this one.....😁😋
Great content as always.
Hey Andy, She’s did indeed, was a good day, a last minute dark out to the hills. Merry Xmas and thank you for your support on the channel this year, very much appreciated! L&D 😀🙏
Just watched the first version, then couldn't comment. 😂
Nice winter day out, you want a loan of my pet raven to pick up your camera? 😁
Walk With Wallace 👣 haha yeah I’d made hash of the end render point so I’d to do it again. You know the deal with the camera... painful at the time but worth it in the end. 😀 Thanks Robin and merry Xmas from Lisa and I. 😀🙏🎄
@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 merry Christmas to you both too. 🎅
Stunning video with beautiful wintry vistas, I’m so jealous of these adventures. When do you use crampons as it seemed slippy in places or was the snow too powdery?
Hey Brian, Thank you, we really do appreciate comments like yours, makes the effort worthwhile.
Although I slipped a few times in the shots I chose it really wasn’t that bad. I was stepping on rocks or grass just under the snow. The snow wasn’t great (compact and frozen), neither were the consequences of a slip so we chose not to use them. We did have them with us though. To be honest we probably didn’t need to use our ice axes either. All specific choices we made given the conditions on that day, and at that time. Thanks again. 🙏😀❄️
Just started following you.Beautiful !! Don't you use crampons if it gets to slippery.? Cheers & thanks for sharing.
Hey Jonathon, HNY! those little slips were on rocks just under the snow. Snow was very soft and for the most part manageable. We did have crampons with us and if the snow was harder we’d probably have had them on. Thank you for watching and following! 😀🙏
Well done! Nice movie. No Stuc a Chroin?
Neil Potter Thank you! 😀🙏... not on this occasion, we’ll do that next time.
Talk about going the extra mile... It’s clear to me you walk a lot more in order to hide footprints and to place & retrieve the camera.
Another really good effort guys, rewarded with that stunning sky.
Snap Happy It’s definitely an effort but we hope worth it. Thanks once again for watching. 😀🙏
I felt cold just watching this! :) What was the temp on the mountain? Does Scotland get much snow?
Haha... not sure if the temp but was pretty brisk! We haven’t had much snow in recent years but this years starting out okay! 😀❄️🙏
