@@ScottishMunroJourneyHi James, I recall doing a circular route from the south inc a corbett on the return. The views are extensive on a clear day, the Blackwater reservoir pointing towards the Mamores&Glencoe etc.🏴👍🏴
Thanks for the video James. . On 24th February, I camped over night below the south ridge of Carn Dearg, it got down to around -12. My water and energy drinks froze, but my whisky was fine. I was between knee and waist deep in snow, took the wrong route, over the ridge, instead of the Corrour track, it was up and down hundreds of ft in the snow, made it to Carn Dearg, but Sgorr Gaibhre was out of reach due to the effort of deep snow, legs like jelly and the breeks full of snow. The ruins of Corrour are an old sanitorium and the stone was robbed by the lairds for a shooting lodge by Loch Ossian. ATB, Angus
James, your objective is to bag the Munros - and that you did, very impressively! Yeah, its a shame it was so cloudy, but that's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. At least it wasn't 🌧 or ⛈!!
Stunning video James. I've not had a chance to do much munros this year juggling family life etc. Done 1 that is Stuc a'Chroin via the Corbett beinn each. As I commented on your Instagram page am hoping to go to torridon soon if the weather is right. Good luck on your 43 munros to go. Love watching your videos. Gives me the encouragement to get out their. ATVB Alan
Thats how i did these 2 a few years ago , the only real memory i have is meeting logging lorries head on driving in , good vid as usual , cheers from Brechin
Chances of someone travelling 5-6 miles from an already remote road just to nab a bike is insanely unlikely and hikers themselves are too decent for that sort of behaviour
Did these two along with beinn na lap as a circular from Corrour with a pint and a bite to eat between trains at the station. Was a great day in a remote area .
Nice one 👍 Nobody wants you to have bad weather what are you saying 😅 I did those hills on an icy Feb last year ( god that feels like 10years ago 😳) -7c at the car park, walked all the way.. I also did the Corbett first, and that was way harder than the Munros ... I came off your first munro along the ridge going south and I thought that was the nicest walk of the day... Your second munro has great views , over to Ben Alder.. Did it 6hrs 30mins
Haha I had a feeling people would like to see me suffer 🤣 I will probably do a route with the Corbett included next time, hopefully catch the summit views from the Munros too 😂 Cheers, James
You can hardly call that bad luck James. It was nae a bad day at all. It just shows how used you are to amazing days. If you look back at some of your earlier videoos you'll remember that you have had far worse than that. It is variety that counts.
@@ScottishMunroJourney hi James, I meant to add in terms of making a RUclips video you would put it down as not a great day. Enjoying your journey, great stuff. ATP Jim.❤️👍
Good video as always james regardless of the pish weather.. always wondered how you always seem to get these amazing weather days recently! I’m always checking Met Office recently.. pretty much every weekend and it just seems way to windy or its always pissing down or snowing! Although summer won’t be too far away 🏴🙌 do you get the chance to go do them during the week much?
It sure is! Only seen one person all day, haha I was thinking that when I watched his vid, I have a feeling I was there first 😂 it was a great video.. Cheers, James
Hi James, maybe not many views but when they came they were pretty damn good, certainly a cracking bike and hike, with some decent mileage covered. All the best mate, Dave ⛰🥾🏴🚴

No such thing as a bad day out. Anyway, a bad day in the hills still beats a good day in the office!
100%, I still had a great day 😄 just not used to this cloud malarkey 😂 Cheers, James

No wind, no rain, no cold, that's not bad luck, that's fine weather for the hills!
Very true.. just ran out of luck on the visibility 😂 I’m definitely a fair weather hiker..
Tye drone shots on this one are on another level

Another cracking video James. Thought you had fairly decent views really. Always a bonus when you don't have to don full Gortex kit. Cheers,Ozzy.
Thanks, James, for getting out there😊
Well done mate 👏 always enjoy your videos! Looking forward to seeing the next one 🏴💪
Great video James, and as for the weather it looked 100% better than the majority of my days out on the hill.
Thanks Philip, haha im just so used to getting good conditions 🤣
Another great video diary James, not many to go now🤗

Great video, as always. I hope you chain your bike up when you leave it😮 I certainly would be.

As Jamie mentioned I have never had an issue, with this sort of bike drop it would take someone pretty evil to steal it 🤣

Thanks James, that ascent looked really boggy. Two more in the bag.
Nice one 👍

Definitely Eddie, think its one of the first days out I have had a cloudy summit when visibility was to be clear 😄 still enjoyable! Cheers, James
Still a good day out James.
Yeah still enjoyed it 😄
I can’t believe you think that’s a bad day James…..try getting caught out in the Gorms in a full on blizzard.⛄️
Haha I have also been caught out with that - this is a bad day in terms of cloud free summits 🤣👍

Thanks Paul 😁 Yes most of my hillwalking is mid-week.. hills are a bit quieter too.. Cheers, James
Lovely peaceful area. Question is did Murray inspire you with his recent bike packing vid in that area? 😊
It sure is! Only seen one person all day, haha I was thinking that when I watched his vid, I have a feeling I was there first 😂 it was a great video..
Cheers, James
It's just jealousy from those of us (me) who always seem to get rubbish weather for baggin' 😅
