Scotland has 282 Munro's - Which are peaks over 3000ft in height, I am aiming to climb them ALL!

My epilepsy cut short my munro bagging for at least the next 12 months as I've had 2 recent seizures after near 5 years with none and I can no longer drive as a result. I suppose I'm going to be experiencing the hills through your vlogs for the foreseeable. Always thought Ben Avon looked awfully pretty and wanted to go up sooner rather than later as a result. Some of the scenery you shot in this clip has only made me all the more desperate to get up it!
thx for that, did them both 2 years ago in awful weather :) so nice to see it clearly
Another great video James thanks for sharing 🌧🌧🌧🌧
Grand video James, that’s some amazing scenery.
It’s about time you got wet! 😂. That lucky streak had to come to an end sooner or later! Two more off the list though. Well done. 👍
Funny how we're all thinking the same lol
I totally agree 😂 knew it was coming.. Thank you 😁🏔
@@bruces6893you happy now 😂
Great vid James and good to see those 2 Munro’s again! Did those a few times in the winter with thick fog and never saw the views 😂! Navigation was a challenge 😅
Your local munros and so many still to do 😂
I dumped my bike before the ruined lodge and was kicking myself , its a good track past it , a long walk back.
Your now on 222, still stuck on 217 due to ingrown toe nail surgery , been off the hills for more than two months , good to see your still banging them in 👍
More beautiful camera work James. Personally I am not really a great fan of out and back routes unless they are only going to 1 point. Continuing round the Beinn a' Bhuird plateau with its stunning views over the cliffs seems to me to make a much more interesting route although I might not have thought so in that downpour.
Good shout taking a bike! I climbed Ben Avon a few years back following the same route as yourself, but did the whole thing on foot. That was a big mistake as I was literally hobling back to the car by the end. Despite the significant discomfort to my feet, it was a great day and glad you got the views on your visit. Hope you manage to bag the rest of the Munros this year, and curious to see which one you choose to finish on.
That would be a long day without the bike! thanks for watching, James
What a beautiful and unique landscape! Thank you ever so much for this one, James. Nice to hear from you and to see you again!
Thanks for watching Martin 😁
Great video showing the great Cairngorms James,shame about weather but a great place to be any day.thanks for your time and effort
Nice one, James - and good you had some company, too. Those sure are odd-looking boulders at the top of Ben Avon - especially the one with the two large "eyes" to the left, the likes of which I've only ever seen at places such as the Falls of Dochart, where small whirlpools have hovered above for almost immeasurable amounts of time - and proof, if any were needed; that what used to stand around these parts was an awful lot bigger than what's there now! You didn't look overly comfortable in that wind and, shame about the effect of the cloud level on the other top, but at least it stayed there - for the walking parts at any rate!! Hopefully you had a wee flask of coffee lurking in your van, as there's nothing quite like it after a soaking, is there?
Brilliant such big Munro’s cheers
Hi James, great video as always mate, those mountains in the Cairngorms have some bulk to them don’t they. That rain must have come out of the blue, at no point did it look like it was going to pour down. Thanks for sharing your adventure as always
All the best
Dave 😀⛰🥾🏴
Thanks Dave, yes the rain came from nowhere.. Thought it was a quick shower but I was wrong 😂 Thanks for watching, James
Nice video again James. I did this walk a few weeks ago, my last pair in the cairngorms. And I agree, they are among the finest. Such Bulk. I didn’t get the bike as far as you, and regretted it! I did a loop around the corries on Beinn a Bhuird and they are superb! Some of the best. Thanks !
Brilliant walk James and a long old day! We left the bikes way back at the split and i wish i took it a bit further up! The walk around the coire is lovely but long! I was knackered that day! Good to see your alternative route! Maybe next time! Cheers mate! Paul 😊
Thanks Paul, a long old day that one.. at least we will have different options for next time 😂 Cheers, James
Well that was quit a hike. Nice views.
Great video. Love the Cairngorms. I did Ben Avon from Tomintoul. Great route as well. 👍
We thought about doing it that way, next time 😁 Cheers, James
A rare outing for your waterproofs 😅 Another fine video.
Glad I was carrying them 😂 Cheers, James
Great video james
Thank you 😁
Nice video there. Beinn a Bhuird has surprisingly impressive cliffs. I was at the Loch in the corrie beyond a couple of years ago and it's a stunning place :)
Thank you, its a spectacular area 😁 Cheers, James
Nice one James. Glad you got soaked for once! 😂 Hope you manage to get some good weather for the upcoming winter season
Haha a few people have said that 😂 looking forward to winter now.. Cheers, James
Brilliant video James. Looks amazing. I need to invest in a bike for hikes like this. But Well done. Unlucky for getting caught in the rain lol.
Thanks Alan, definitely bring a bike for these 😁 I was due a bit of rain to be honest 😂 Cheers, James
first attempt ended with me getting lifted off my feet neat the top of Ben Avon with the strong winds, second time i cycled in and completed both , great views from the top 👍
That must be an exposed area in bad conditions! Cheers, James
Hi James, have you ever been to Alladale? North of Inverness
Hi, no I haven’t actually, I’m from Inverness so will need to visit one day 😁
@@ScottishMunroJourney It's a fab place, forests are as wild as they come. If you do go, there's a small car park on the road up to it, after that you can't drive further unless you're staying there. Have fun!
did you find the secret bothy?
Read about it but never had a proper look, I wouldn’t have been able to share it on video anyway 😂 🤫
