Yet another stunningly captured outing. Don't despair about the dark winter days, just think of the fantastic library you're creating.
Thanks Glen 😁
Quite handy for Glaswegians but heck of a drive for you. Don't scunner yourself - it's such a big undertaking if you have a job and other responsibilities. You do such a fantastic job that your audience will appreciate you however you choose to do your round. I'm still working on mine after 35/36 years😂.
100% Annie, thank you 😁 haha that is good going! Cheers, James
I enjoyed Ben a Chroin and An Castiel a lot, some good tricky enough scrambling. Even though the visibility was about 20 metres when I did it. Not sure if it's less or more scary, just looking down into a cloud😁
Cracking day James. I love hills like the second one with lots of wee tops on, somehow feels really satisfying going over them all, and wandering around for different views. Good stuff, cheers.
Cheers Andy, totally agree - this must be the most extreme example of that 😂
Atb, James
Not far from the hoose for me these ones James and been up them countless times…enjoyed watching your trip and your right, complex wee tops and quite dramatic. Had that Munro low recently too after catching some virus that’s going about 😂. Looking forward to the longer days and maybe catch you down this neck of the woods 👍👍👍Paul
Great area Paul, I will be spending a fair but of time there so might see you 😁👍
Hope you have recovered from the virus & get out and about soon, it can only get better from here I suppose!
Cheers, James
Well worth the 3 hr drive from Inverness. Great views and great weather. Once again thanks for all your efforts to help us to join you on your Munro journey. You will never know how much pleasure and satisfaction we receive each time we view your videos. Like life Slioch was a disappointment but think of all you achieved. Navigating your climb through thick mist etc and still getting to the top. Well done and all strength to your elbow. Look forward to your next video Phillip Earnshaw.
It sure was Phillip, thank you for your kind comments 😁 it can be difficult at times trying to film the long routes but always worth it to watch back in the future, Cheers, James
lovely video as usual James....very informative for me as I've done all the others in the area just these two to do...hopefully in the next few weeks!
Thanks Mike, enjoy when you come to do them 😁
Cheers, James
Majestic scenery my friend, these landscapes are just phenomenal! Love this upload!
There is that wee path just before summit on An Caisteal that has a sheer drop off to right...not happy going up,even less happy on way down! Well done,great hill.
Yes some slightly exposed parts 😁 Cheers, James
What a beautiful hiking trail. So Happiness is hiking along trails like this.
Looks absolutely stunning! thanks for sharing!!
Thank you 😁
Awww mate - An Caisteal and Beinn A Chroin was a brilliant day when I done it, had a lot of fun doing these two. A mate came along who doesn’t do many munros and isn’t overly keen on doing then but he loved it with the scrambly/exposed section. Great video as always 👌👌
Thanks Paul, I really enjoyed them too. A nice bit of variety on them 😁
Cheers, James
Pleasure to watch that ... Thanks.
Fantastic weather again wow great views of southern highlands fab cheers
This good weather can only last so long 😂
Cheers, James
the 4 munros you mentioned can be done in one big loop great vid as usual , keep up the good work .
Thank you - might look at doing the 4 in a loop then 😁
Cheers, James
Cracking video as always James, you certainly got lucky with the weather again. Looking forward to the clocks going forward and the longer days. I’m in the hills of the Lake District tomorrow, so looking forward to that. Thanks again for sharing your day. 😀🥾⛰🏴
Thanks Dave 😁 clocks forward this weekend so that will help! Enjoy your trip to the lakes,
Cheers, James
Scotland 😍
Good to see you down in my neck of the woods.
Great Hike as always.

Will be spending a fair bit of time down there this year 😁
Cheers, James
What a gorgeous hike. I love the warm light and cool shadows of winter. It was so pretty with the frost near the top.
Thanks Sarah 😁
Love it as always, well done mate
Fair play man that's a long day. I can only do one way and have to camp the night. Great video as always!
Thanks - Its a long day but don’t actually mind the driving too much 😁
Cheers, James
Great vid 👌👌
Cloud free. Always a bonus.
I have been lucky recently, it has to change at some point 😂
Scenery it very beautiful place
Nice one James, another fine vid. A long day for you coming from Inverness but well worth it mate.
It turned out to be worth the drive 😁
Cheers, James
Was my first munro back in the day. Think I've climbed these two twice since. Great video hope you enjoyed.
Must have been great for your first ones, can see why you returned a few times since 😁
Cheers, James
A fabulous hike, I have fond memories of it 🙂
Hope this brought back good memories then 😁 I really enjoyed them.
Cheers, James
Great video James , hopefully getting these done next week ⛰
Thank you, enjoy! Its a great day 😁
Great video James! Stunning views!
Thank you 😀
Did the clockwise route on Saturday. Absolutely brilliant!
It’s a great day, hope you got decent weather 😁
@@ScottishMunroJourney it started snowing just before reaching the 1st summit and it never let up, James.
However, the quickest route down was over the 2nd Munro! Good day had by all!
Done these 2 about 3 weeks ago, I went in a clockwise direction though. Had weather like that aswell with a bit of snow on the summits. 😊
Its a great route 😁
Cheers, James
I've inadvertently bypassed these hills while doing the Arrochar alps and Glencoe area, will certainly give them a proper look this year.
Great hills 😁 enjoy
Cheers, James
A joy doing them with you, Liam.
Lovely videos James. 24hr in a day? Only joking.
Good stuff mate….are you an Inverness lad, great video cheers
I am, makes it a long drive for the Crainlarich group 😂
Cheers, James
lovely vid - what's your main source for munro routes- or is it a bit of a mixed bag - always on the look out for good routes and looked like you got a good one there - nicely varied
Thank you - usually Walkhighlands but I will sometimes make my own or combine multiple routes 😁
Cheers, James
Great content buddy! Would my spaniel make it through the scrambling bits ok ya think?
Thanks 😁 I personally wouldn’t take my spaniel but shes not great with steep bits, depend on your own dogs ability really..
Cheers, James
@@ScottishMunroJourney thanks for the advice James 👍
Great hills around that area 👍
A 3hr drive ? What a shame 😅 that's what I have to do now to do most of my remaining munros .. 184 for myself ..
Have you done any of the Lawers range ?
Driving becomes the hardest part now 😂 Yes I done the 7 Lawers in a day last year, it was an epic day. Great effort on 184 👏
Cheers, James
@@ScottishMunroJourney wow that's a big day 😱
Must have taken you 24hrs 😅
Did these 2 back in early Feb. Admittedly from a significantly smaller sample of just 13 munros, these 2 have been my favourite day out by an absolute mile so far. Have you done Ben More and Stob Binnein yet? They're 2 that are reachable in a day for me from Uni, but have only heard bad things about the climb. The views of Ben More during this walk only enhances that feeling, so just curious what your opinion of them is if you've done them - just realised James said said he hasn't done them so this question applies to anybody willing to answer? And as always fantastic vid, this is my favourite channel right now!
What you see on Ben More and Stobinian is what nyou get - a good physical workout with great views inthe right conditions. The southern Munros are characterised by much more climbing than the north due to the dearth of ridgelines.
Fantastic, can see why they are your favourite 😁 I havn’t done Ben More like you mentioned, but have read the climb up is direct & straight to the top 😂 you can kinda see it from the views in this video. Thanks for your kind feedback 😁
Cheers, James
Great video ,im heading up here on saturday ,is it ok to just do one munro ? Im planning on doing an caisteal on its own ,im going on my own and dont like to try to do to much if im on my own
Thank you, sorry just seen your comment - east enough to do An Caisteal by itself, hope you had a good day 😁
