One man and his dog conquering the world 🥾🪨🗻Fantastic Paul.
Thanks Dawn! although it probably should be one dog and his man! lol. Paddy is the real star of the show! Paul.
Thanks very much. This seems a really great day out. Hopefully plenty of others will feel encouraged to enjoy a real treat. The bench is amazing!
Thanks so much! It's a fantastic day and it would be a great wee walk just upto the coire alone. This will also be a brilliant wee snowy winter adventure too! Cheers for watching. Paul
Good afternoon Paul, needed a pot of tea for this one Paul! Everything var the kitchen sink 👍🤗
You are bang on absolutely fantastic, what a setup too. Sorry we are late to the party, bee so many great videos pop up this past few days, we definitely shed the best till last.
What an absolute corker, thank you so much for taking us around with you, what beauty! Catch you soon, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ ⛰🗺🧭
The curse of the suntan lotion didn't go unnoticed btw! Sods law hey! 😬👍♥️☕
Thanks guys! The suntan lotion has been banished in lieu of the lemsips! Bring on the snow! Paul
The best one yet Paul. I loved this adventure..from despair to elation. Clag to perfection. What a day..just planning when I'm going to do it and maybe fit in a wee wild camp. Brilliant, just brilliant 👍
Thanks so much Euan! I think I picked this day as it was the most favourable that week..I can remember feeling a wee bit disappointed walking round in the clag. Getting to Creag meagaidh and everything opening up was amazing!!!! result as they say!
A camp down at the loch an would be amazing! if I was going back that's what I would do!!!
Cheers again mate and thanks for the support! Paul.
In a place like Scotland, it's not a surprise that you'd have multiple words to describe the mists. Quite glad we've got you to pronounce all these places for us. Phonics are not followed well in Scotland. Love that you've started to put a point on a map so we can see whereabout you are. You're also getting really good with that new camera. Love the reworks you've done with your intro expositions and graphics. We're getting a good sense of what you're about beyond a string of amazing views.
Your boss is amazing for giving you the day when you had a good weather window. Paddy was SO up for this one. You were obviously not the only one stoked that you got the day off to head out.
It was only cloudy because you brought the sun lotion Paul. If you'd left it in the car, you'd have been cooked. After a year in the mountains, I'm convinced that's how this stuff works. Weatherman says one thing, you bring the stuff for it, and he's wrong. you forget something, and he's too right, isn't he? Lovely that it cleared up for you. Those views are FAN-TAS-TIC.
We were just thinking, another great bit about heading out on a Wednesday, less people out yeah? You are 100% correct. That bench was in the perfect spot. Can't think of a better day off that what you had here. Another stunner Paul!
Wow! What a comment JR! Thank you so much...
The pronunciations are not easy for me either! Everyone you speak to has their own idea of just how it should sound...still you are getting my bestest attempt 😁. I have reverted back to my gopro! The big camera has proved to be a bit cumbersome on longer days so I will keep that for camping or wee walks over the winter.
Paddy loves these walks...he sleeps for 2 days after though🐕😂.
I have so many holiday days to take that I will probably be out more Wednesdays upto Christmas and your right it's even more quiet than as we get into the colder weather....day dreaming for some blue sky snowy days!
Thanks again mate your a star!
Orra best! Paul
Fun to see Patrick out with you again! So beautiful on the way up, with sun and clouds and amazing views. Of course, it turned misty because you took the suntan lotion! Nice that the views cleared up again. Oh yeah, that is a perfect bench for lunch! What a view.
I have retired the sun tan lot hon in there of some winter blue sky days...All a bit transitional just now with lots of wind and rain....What a bench eh! can't wait to head back up here in the winter. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support! Paddy says hi! Paul.
Fab! Loved the bench, views amazing ☀️
Take you up here this winter!
Amazing video! Great adventure👍 Thank you for sharing! Like42 ＆ Im support your channel👍
Thanks so much!
Nice one Paul. The lochan is a lovely place, and the visitors hub a nice addition. Good to see the cloud lifting from Creag Meagaidh. ATB, Andy. 👍
Cheers Andy. I am looking forward to heading back here in the winter! I think it will be awesome. Cheers paul
Oh wow, another smashing "wee walk" those views just " gladden the heart" what a great day, loved it. Well done to wee Paddy to. 🐕
That's wee paddy's 23 munros! He is the real star of the show!
Great stuff Paul; keep em coming!
Cheers Richard! An exciting wee journey ahead so hopefully a few more wee videos to come! Paul
Mate what a video, Scotland has it all! Brilliantly filmed, some of them views were amazing. Hoping to get up soon, need my Munro fix lol. Cracking mate👍🏻 Cheers, Mark.
Cheers Mark! Give me a shout and I will join you! Paul
Hi Paul, another great video. At least the sun came out in the end. What a setting for lunch😍. Beautiful.
Had a weekend in Dunoon to attend a gig in the Queen's Hall and managed a wee walk in Puck's Glen. It was Tolkienesque. A fantastic short walk in you are ever in the area.
Thanks John! It's the best bench I have ever came across! Quite magical. Pucks glen is amazing. The family used to have a caravan in dunoon and we went there a few times. Quite a fantastical place, like you say something from lord of the rings....was up the wee buchaille again yesterday! Busier than argyle street! Cheers again mate. Paul
Fantastic video, wee Paddy did well. Good you were able to carry him a bit of the way down the window. I remember it being a bit of an ankle breaker! What a view you get from the Loch too. That bench must be new…don’t remember it. Fab. 👍😍
Thanks Linda... there was wee bit that was just too much for paddy's skinny legs....he needed mountain rescue! That bench is something else..I could have sat there all day...what a view. Cheers and thanks for your comments. Paul
What a stunning bench view for your lunch spot.
Nice one Paul
Cheers Stevie! I could have sat here all day! If I had my swimming stuff with me I would have been in that lochan! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 haha easier said than done that cold water swimming.
Not for me 😂
Good stuff Paul, it cleared up well for you mate. I enjoyed these when i done them a few years ago..Cracking video again ..Cheers Stevie
Cheers Stevie! Would like to come back here in winter! Have you done the three munros on the other side? Creag pitridh group?
@@PAADVENTURES1 No ,i've not done them yet probably over the winter Paul
Enjoyed watching that Paul. I did the walk a few weeks ago in the clockwise direction, perfect conditions with amazing views. As you said in another message its definitely a place to return in winter even if it's just back to the Lochan. Look forward to watching ur next adventure.
Thanks so much Selwyn! I had a hunch that I was going to be clagged in for the first few hours and really wanted to enjoy the lochain. Turned out not to bad in the end. What a great walk eh! The area around the window is very dramatic and that Lochan is amazing. Yeah a winter trip here is on the plan. I think I will wait and do the other 3 munros in the winter too..Cheers again and all the best. Paul
Well done mate great film Paul 👏 I was looking to get out on wednesday too as the weather looked perfect but we had a stock taking week so that idea was oot the windae ha ha pity my boss's name wasnt John lol! I have been up to the corrie before and it is amazing as you say much bigger than it is on film :)
Thanks peter! To be fair I didn't tell him until the last minute! He couldn't say no 😁. The weather wasn't as good as I thought but I was a bit early. The afternoon was glorious and if I had my swimming stuff I would have been right in that lochan..I think I will try and head back up here in winter! Cheers mate. All the best. Paul
Cracking video Paul, when I went up we intended to do it anti clockwise but missed the turn off point, and thought it was better clockwise. The bit at the bench is truly breathtaking. It’s always good to get a sneaky day off for the hills. And we’ll done wee paddy.👍🏔🏴
Thanks Frank. I watched your video before I went on Wednesday. That wee cairn marking the path is so easy to miss. I need to get a drone! I was sitting on that bench wishing I could get some drone footage! Cheers for watching. Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 yeh it is easy to miss Paul, think I was blethering to Dave when we missed it 🤣
Yeh I love my wee drone now, bit more in the kit bag but worth it.
Cheers, frank 🏔🏴👍
Well done, an inspiration. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much! All the best. Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 Paul your the double of a guy I worked beside at Anniesland college?
@@landbright6313 my doppelganger! My sister once said she thought she seen me in Glasgow and tried to speak to me only to find it wasn't me! Strange! 🤔
Wow this hike looks amazing mate , I'm hoping to get up here soon Paul 🤜🤛✌️😎⛰️
Thank you so much David! That’s a few years ago that one! Cracking walk and the loch at the end is stunning…your drone will love it there 😎😎. Paul
@PAADVENTURES1 yes mate that loch look amazing surrounded with the mountains 🤩⛰️
A cracking wee swim spot too 🥴
@PAADVENTURES1 heading up in the morning mate ⛰️✌️😎
Enjoy David!! I would save the loch to the end but that’s just me 😂😂😂
Another cracking walk mate.
Views at the end were stunning.
ATB
Tam
Cheers Tam! have you done these hills?
@@PAADVENTURES1 I have a very long to do list and they are still on it.
Currently sunning myself in Spain and will hopefully be in corrour at the end of the month for a wildcamp and a couple of munros.
Not been out in 4 weeks I will struggle lol.
@@themunrobagger Well at least you will be struggling with a nice tan! cheers Tam. Paul.
Hey Paul, awesome video. I love even the cheesy views 🤠. And grabbing a whisky sounds good. Since we visited your beautiful country, we enjoy good single malts almost every weekend. Thank you for the beautiful video, I enjoyed it. Hello from Switzerland
Hi Schwendi! Thanks for your amazing comments! I love the cheesy views too! Thanks my other wee secret hobby, collecting malt whisky and drinking malt whisky, you cannae beat it. Thanks for watching and I need to check out your channel....Gold prospecting and an Engineer! looking forward to it. Cheers and all the best from Scotland! Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 A that's an awesome hobby!! Wee, like Wee Beasti... Do you know it (Ardbeg)? My brother in law, who is in many of my videos, has a big whisky collection as well. Of course almost all Scottish Single Malts. We visited five distilleries in Scotland, my poor wife had to come with us, haha. And we even made Ardbeg popular in an Alaskan mining village, cause we enjoyed an Ardbeg Ten every evening after gold prospecting. Than we made a tasting night with friends from Alaska and other states. The Ardbeg 10 clearly won against the bourbons etc. What's your favorite?
@@TheLensSchwendi Ardbeg is one of my favourites! right now I have several bottles of the 10 year old, Drum, An Oa, Uigeadail, Corryvreckan, Dark Cove and a very special 23 year old called twenty something..Of all these my favourite is Dark Cove, which is nearly finished unfortunately and no longer available! I usually buy 3 bottles, one for keeping, one for swapping and one for drinking! Slainte!
@@PAADVENTURES1 Oh man, you hit the mark. I have a story for you: We went to Alaska in 2018. Before we went, a good friend of us, who lives there, was shopping in Fairbanks and noticed three bottles of Ardbeg Dark Cove for a pretty low price. It was around 120-130 dollar per bottle or so. He texted me and I immediately asked him to buy all three bottles for us. One was a gift for him, the second, we emptied together, when we visited him and the third is now in the collection of my brother in law. I still have video of the moment, when we opened the Dark Cove in Alaska together. I plan to include this footage in a video, I will tell you, when it's edited. I'll tell my brother in law about you, he looooves Ardbeg and I do as well.
@@TheLensSchwendi Oh man....I had that strange sensation were my hair stood on end there! How coincidental is that! Here is my dark cove story......I bought two bottles, one for my collection and one for drinking...Now I have several bottles of the ten year old in my collection. Two years ago on Christmas Day, I forgot to get one of my brother in laws a present. I sneakily asked my wife to go and put a bottle of the ardbeg ten in a bag and give it to him....5 minutes later, all pleased with myself I watched him pull out the bottle of dark cove! he was so happy! I on the other hand was crying inside....My wife laughed about this for weeks!
Enjoyed that paul. A place I’m looking forward to going back to as I didn’t get the full view of the Corrie. You got lucky there with the weather 👍 atb gordon
Thanks Gordon. I think that on a clear winter's snowy day this will be amazing! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 definitely. There was some snow around when I was there but keen to see it with a full winter coat
Another great video Paul. The clag loves you eh. Apart from Meggy. They conditions are worth the first claggy 2 😎 I'll need to visit that lochan since I took the high route back when I did them.
Cheers Kev! It was well worth it! that moment when you pop out the clouds is always amazing! I am planning going back here in winter hopefully! think it will be amazing! Paulo.
@@PAADVENTURES1 Aye be cracking in winter. I was watching oan the big telly earlier. When you whistled for Paddy, ma dug jumped oot his bed and barked like feck 🤭😆
@@Kev_Russ yas!
What a fantastic day for you, and then for us following your well filmed and exhaustive looking journey. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Ivor! I thought the weather was going to be better in the morning but it all turned out well in the end! If I had my swimming gear I would have been right in that Lochan! Cheers again mate.
Brilliant video Paul, gonna do these tomorrow, hopefully get to use the factor 50 😂 The Coire looks stunning and deffo for a dook in that lochan, no bare arse this time tho, I’ll take the shorts 😂😂 The place looks amazing, cheers mate,
Steven 😊👍🏴🏴
Thanks very much Steven! I actually had a dook in that lochan! A bit slimy to start but pretty cooling! Keep the shorts on!! Hope you have a great time and look forward to the video mate!! Cheers again! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 video and dook will have to wait for another time mate, baled out after Carn Liath, horrible conditions….some you win etc 😊👍🏴🏴
Oh no!! Look at this weather now too!! I’m just back from a week on Skye Steven. 5 days doing the cuillin Munros…. I’m absolutely knackered 🥴🥴🥴
@@PAADVENTURES1 now those are videos I’m looking forward to, was hoping maybe august for Skye, depends how the old hips hold up lol 😂 I presume you hired a guide 🤔
Yeah Steven we had a guide for 4 days. We did Bla Bheinn ourselves the first day and then 4 big days on the main ridge! Scary, exhausting, exciting and very memorable. Not loads of footage though as it’s very much hands on all the time 👍
Paul, I've liked this before even watching it because it's going to be good they always are. I've been working all day so I'm going up the pub for a guiness and I'm gonna sit in the evening sun and watch this episode. Cheers
Enjoy Andy! Give me your thoughts after you watch! Just home from a great wee walk today and having a cheeky wee beer to celebrate! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 As you said Paul amazing. You are spoilt for choice with places to explore up there. I got to the end and wanted more, 22km of walking could you of squeezed a bit more in? I really enjoy following you along on these journeys and seeing these amazing places.
@@andythemunroeater9884 Cheers Andy! What a walk today! We were in the middle of absolutely nowhere and headed for a wee bothy for some shelter and food. I opened the door and there was the fire blazing and 3 mancunians sitting enjoying the heat. Only in the mountains! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 can't wait to see that video 😁 I can hear those bagpipes calling !!!
Affa bonnie x
Thank you! Paul
I know im late to the party but was just wondering where you park and how long it takes to get to the lochan? If anyone can help me out jd really appreciate it 👍
Hi there! There is a large free car park at the start of the walk. It’s the Creag meagaidh nature reserve park. If you are walking just to the lochan I think around an hour at a good pace should take you there. It’s pretty straightforward all the way to the lochan and there is that amazing bench seat! Hope this helps! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 thank you very much for the quick response! definitely gonna head up there soon. Cheers 🍻
