A Full days walking to Foinaven in assynt of 9 hours or more and approx 18 kilometres in stunning Scottish scenic glens and lochs.
Its a great place to film videos and take photographs in this unusual landscape. I set off walkig at 7.30 for a full days hike hoping to get some spectacular photos and footage. This vlog will help walkers understand the areas natural beauty
And complexity of the landscapes surrounding us.
This is a spectacular mountain.Foinaven & A' Cheir Ghorm Ridge
Foinaven wild camp in Scotland's Far North (Arkle and Meall Horn). A wild camp set at the bealach between Foinaven and Arkle.
FOINAVEN TRAVERSE The views afforded to trekkers on the ridge of Foinaven must be amongst the finest in any mountain.
Foinaven (Ganu Mor) 911m summit view.
On the summit ridge of Foinaven in Sutherland, Scotland.
Called Foinaven (Foinne Bhein)-Ganu Mor in the highlands of Scotland Assynt.It is quite close Durness and it can be very difficult
To climb in wet conditions.Ganu Mor is 911 metres high.The walking routes up Foinaven Foinne Bhein Ganu Mor is walked from either the north or coming from the South side of Foinaven passing loch na Tuadh and following the flanks of arkle mountain. Foinaven and arkle are made up of Cambrian Quartzite
And the scree becomes very slippery in wet weather conditions. The walk either starts from Strath Dionard Gualin House From The A838 Road. And the main ridge can be walked or hiked by a steep and rough climb. A faster steep route back is down the north ridge side.Another is by the Bealach Horn i by using the track and path from Lone on Loch Stack near ben stack whos path is on the opposite side of the road. The distance to Foinaven trig point is 12 miles approximately and can take 9 to 10 hours depending on your fitness and navigation skills. The views from the ridge of Foinaven is fantastic with panoramic views of
Arkle Mountain and Meall Horn and ben stack,loch stack Cranstackie and Beinn Spionnaidh mountain's.
Scotland's mountain's are the most stunning in the uk in all weathers.A very long day would be to tackle Foinaven and Arkle or to wild camp
And you will find plenty of good spots to youre wildcamping in these special mountain's.Foinaven and Arkle terrain is shattered quartz
And should not underestimate the dangers of bad weather that can change at any moment, so a map and compass should always be at hand for those occations.

Superb! What a stunning mountain, one of the best.
Thanks. Couldnt agree more it's such a spectacular place and on a clear day from the summit the views are unbelievable.
Thanks again for watching ATB ALAN GREGORY ADVENTURES 👍👍👍
@@alangregoryadventuresthegr992 I have still to do it, got a taster with Arkle though. These mountains are often ignored because they're not Munros. 🤪
Oh defiantly...a shame but at least it's a Corbett
Well I have enjoyed my nights viewing of your channel and not least this gem.. You certainly get to some very remote areas of the Highlands and hardcore ridge walking to boot... Thanks for the entertainment while I sit up in Birmingham looking out my truck waiting for a load... Been a pleasure to watch you sir..
Happy trucking and hopefully I can entertain you with more video's in the future 👍Foinaven is very remote and that was my longest day filming so far .The isle of Skye which i haven't edited yet pushed it close ( nearly as long ) thanks for all your nice comments and watching ATB ALAN GREGORY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@alangregoryadventuresthegr992 I will be back soon.. ;)
Superb stuff… the ridge walk filming once again superb…
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video..a big day but always enjoy making films

What awesome mountain scenery, and a great video too. To think some people won't climb it as it's not a Munro.
Thanks Simon for you nice comments. The mountain and the ridge are spectacular and its a big day out but well worth it.
Thanks for watching im really glad you liked the vid
Cheers Alan Gregory Adventures
You are far braver than your big/little sister Alan. Great video, God knows how you balanced on that ridge, scarey stuff
Yeah a really good long day out Thanks for watching Alan Gregory Adventures 🕺🕺
You make good videos, you should be on Telly
Haha FOR sure thanks alot
👍🤗🤗🤗
Thats his S.A.S Combat Survival Belinda, he doesn't like to talk about........
Brings back memories of when I did Foinaven 8 years ago. I too used the bike to cycle down the srath Dionard, left the bike in the same place as you, but continued down past Loch Dionard to climb the stalkers path up to the Bellach Horn where I then took to the ridge all the way back to the Corbett. A top mountain! Great video!
Thanks Graham
One of favorite mountains.
Nice it brought back some nice memories for you
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Thank you Alan gregory Adventures

Thanks very much McIntyre really appreciate it 👍..Glad it also brought back some nice memories. I really enjoyed the day on foinaven especially the ridge walking. Very lucky with the lift back at the end.🤗
Many thanks again for watching and commenting..Alan Gregory adventures 👍👍👍👍👍

Favourite of my local mountains. Interesting video, thanks for posting - you are the only person I know who’s tackled A Ch’eir Ghorm so good on you. Small matter of detail, you were a long way from Asynt but who cares
Thanks Kevin glad you liked the vid. Your right it's Sutherland I realised the mistake after editing 😪😪 never mind thanks for leaving a comment and thanks for watching Cheers Alan Gregory Adventures 👍👍👍👍
What an awesome day. Fantastic ridge, especially that first one. You certainly need calm weather to take on that adventure. You did well to get a lift back along the track. I certainly enjoyed watching this video. Thanks.
Thanks Charles 👍 Your right the ridges were fantastic and yes it would be a different proposition in high winds. That was another memorable day... The lift back was a blessing, because the cycle back was quite a way.. glad you enjoyed the video on foinaven as much as I did.. many as usual for commenting and watching atb Alan Gregory adventures
Great watch and thanks to Mick (Blamhof) for the heads up. Cheers Alan
Thanks for watching and you're nice comment Alan really appreciate it
Cheers Alan Gregory Adventures 🖐🖐
Well Alan this is your masterpiece. What a film of a stunning mountain. A true adventure this one bud, up there with the best. What a cracking ridge. I've been wanting to do this one for a while and this has convinced me to put it on the must do list haha. Great way to finish in style too. Fantastic film, loved every second. Take care. Mick.
Hiya Mick hope you're okay
Thanks very much for youre really nice comment.It was a big big day and even bigger if i hadn't got a lift back to the van.You will not be disappointed but make sure you pick a sunny day to fully appreciate the whole place.
Once again thanks for youre support mick in watching my videos
Take care bye4now
ALAN GREGORY ADVENTURES 🕺🕺
Thanks for watching
Thanks Mick Blamhof for the share
Great stuff Alan - just recovering from a hip replacement op so your film of Foinaven has inspired me to get mountain fit again that bit quicker. Was last there in 1977 and thought then it was a mysterious and underrated mountain ( very much quieter for not being a Munro ) . Your film has convinced me to get back up north to this fine area - Scotlands answer to the Dolomites ! X Dave W
Thanks David.. hope you recover quickly and manage to get in the mountains. Soon.. I love foinaven and that area its the quieter part being so north of all the big Munros.. good luck on your full recovery and all the best
Thanks for commenting and watching David cheers Alan Gregory adventures
Incredible scenery again - you do seem to get the weather. Nice bit of luck with the lift back!
Thanks Steven.. That was one of my all time favourite walks and I saved it for a lovely day... the lift back was very welcome as it was all uphill back to the road... cheers again for commenting and watching take care Alan Gregory adventures 👍🌝🤣
Nice video Alan, like the other comments the drone images are superb and compliment the video (is it a mavic pro?). You even managed to get a great day weather wise and a bonus lift back..well done. cheers Kenny
Thanks Kenny.. it was a big day out filming and yes it was the mavic pro I used. It doesn't like the wind so i had to keep a eye on it..
Thanks again for watching kenny
P.s yeah got lucky with a lift back 😄😄😄 ATB ALAN GREGORY ADVENTURES 👍👍😫
ALOT harder than suilven which i filmed back in July on a red hot day. The ridge would be dangerous in winter and would need crampons. 🙋♂️🙋♂️
Thanks again for watching much appreciated Cheers Alan Gregory Adventures
Fantastic film Alan. So much incredible scenery up there :-) Really enjoying your adventures.
Thanks Don it was a memorable day especially on the ridge and the views to the top of Scotland were fantastic

Fantastic video again fella.. Looking to do this one myself shortly but think am gonna avoid the ridge you did as that boulder field and scree looked a nightmare.. Take Care :)
Hi Dave..whichever way you do it have a great time..really appreciate you leaving a comment
Atb Alan Gregory adventures

Ridge Walk
Cracking video those are some mountains and not for the faint hearted , pretty scary stuff at times mate . you must be worn out filming backwards and forwards lol. I bet you slept well that night ! well done atb Dave
ps do you hide you bike when leaving it Alan ?
Ha ha yeah Dave I was tired and just think if I'd not got a lift back off the landrover I'd still be there 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks again for watching Dave Bye4now Alan Gregory Adventures
Yeah hide the bike and put a GPS marker on it
Cheers Dave
Thanks, very educative. I'd never heard of Foinaven and have never knowingly seen the landscape in the North of Sutherland. Amazing views of the North Atlantic. I live near the Bavarian Alps and what you did there is called a "Gratwanderung" here. We use the term figuratively when you have to strike a very diplomatic line in a conversation. Veer slightly off course and you fall rapidly out of favour.
One of my five favourite mountains. Did the full traverse for the second time two years ago. You can hear the rocks rolling down the ridges at times
Yep it's my favourite mountain,well that and ben Klibreck. Well done on the traverse because it can be quite dangerous especially in winter. Hope you like the video
ATB Alan Gregory Adventures
Alan Wow, I wasn’t expecting that. What a magnificent ridge. Thanks for sharing. How does this compare to Suiliven?
Hiya I think it's tougher than suilven it's very remote ,especially the way I approached it .Itbwas a very long day filming but thoroughly enjoyable..Many thanks for commenting and watching ATB ALAN GREGORY ADVENTURES
The views from Foinaven .FOINAVEN is a great scramble
Are you OK, Alan? Haven't heard hide nor hair of you for ages.
Just watched this video again, but this time in 4k on a 50 inch TV (last time was just in HD). The word "incredible" now seems far to weak and feeble to describe this video. Almost felt like I was there -- just need a 50mph gust of wind through my flat and a few midges and the picture would be complete. Easily your best video to date! :-)
Hiya Rosa..🖐 I'm fine thanks. Its been a while and hope you're fine too. With covid and restrictions I haven't been up Scotland for 1 ½ years but I'm up here right now, not filming until later this year..Nice to know you have 4k TV and you can enjoy in high definition 😀..Thanks for the compliment/s on.my videos and I hope to hear from you soon again...Take care Rosa & thanks again for watching them ...

@@alangregoryadventuresthegr992 You are welcome Alan ATB
Nice video but please get your facts correct. Foinaven is not in Assynt. You did not make river crossings - you crossed burns. You did not see LOCKS but LOCHS.
Sorry bill 😞 It was a edit mistake..
I realised after uploading that foinaven is in Sutherland and yes lochs and burns.... thanks for watching and leaving a comment Bill
