I've thoroughly enjoyed following your journey over the past few years and you've brought so many memories to this old Munro bagger good on you and keep going buddy
Another great video. I completed these 4 from the dam out and you were correct the path alongside the Loch was brutal. Great idea using the ferry but don’t think that option was available when I climbed it. Nice to see as the views you got coming up to your first I did not get as the last two on my round was on the mist so great watching your footage.
Absolutely stunning video James. I've been looking at a way to do Derry Cairngorm. I definitely think ill do it the same way as you. But will leave it for next year. Well done mate. ATVB Alan
Your adventure brought back some great memories James. Back in the noughties my girl friend and I biked and walked from the Linn of Dee for a 2 night camp near the Hutchison Memorial hut. The next day we hiked up to climb Beinn Mheadhoin and it's Munro tops. Returned to Loch Etchacan and then hiked up to Derry Cairngorm and its Tops. It was a baking hot Summer's day and after returning to Loch Etchacan, went for a swim. Memories that last a lifetime.
Great video. I really enjoy seeing figures in the landscape so the effort you put into setting up the camera and then walking past it is much appreciated, particularly as your walk was already a long one. That tor on Mheadhoin was a bit more awkward for me than you made it look. I didn’t enjoy the step across, which you did with a camera in your hand, but the rest of the hike round the Tops of Derry Cairngorm, Macdhui and Ben Mheadhoin is really good and gets into some uncrowded parts of the Cairngorms. Worth going back for!
What great light you had for this - good light makes the Cairngorms look fabulous. Also nice to see you taking the less common route, although you could have made it less out and back, and shorter by dropping off Mheadhoin past the east end of Loch Avon. The fore is mighty cold, but you went paddling anyway. Less than a quarter of a century to go.
Thanks Eddie, yes had to make a route up for these as there was no ‘easy’ way to do it 😂 actually enjoyed it a lot. Yes I did shortcut off the side of Mheadhoin towards the loch but could have changed my route there, what a place. Cheers, James
I think I've narrowed your final round completing trip to 3. As far as I'm aware the Lochaber 4000s (so finishing with Nevis and taking the crazy route there) An Teallach and your auld enemy Ladhar Bheinn all need done and they're all very big ones to round off with.
Thats not far off Jamie, I have a few others with Mull, and 3 of the Glen Affric ones still to do.. also Ben Cruachan and The Forcan Ridge, should be done soon though 😁 Cheers, James
Brilliant James. Actually had this route planned for Saturday but the weather is looking awful and after seeing what it’s like on a clear day I’d rather hold off
Yeaaaah, a walk that I did some years ago albeit from the Linn of Dee. Wild camped on the east side of the Derry Cairngorm summit, went across to Ben Macdui and then away to Beinn Mheadhoin before walking back to Linn of Dee. Yes it's a long one, but a truely great place to wander. Great video James.
What a fantastic video of a amazing area of the Cairngorms. I only started my Munro Journey last year with two and then 8 more this past spring. I've yet to do a Caingorm Munro or more, as the only one so far is Mayar (bailed out before Driesh as I was too knackered) Would love to return to the Lochnagar area as me and Skye had a very nice walk around Loch Muick and up to the waterfall behind the royal lodge. I've followed your Munro Journey for quite a while and what a journey - only 24 left now to bag - well done. ATB Karl
Thanks for watching Karl, nice to hear you have started your Munro journey 😁 the main Cairngorm hills are fantastic so hope you enjoy them.. Cheers, James
Another cracking film James....going to be heading up that way soon to gain my 3 figures as far as Munros are concerned, but those treks are long for sure!
It was nice to chat with you at Loch Etchahan. Another great video and reminder of a superb day. All the best for the remainder of your Munro journey! Len
Hi James, absolutely amazing what stunning views, Loch A’an looks amazing. Well done on completing the Cairngorm Munro’s Not many to go now, all the best Dave 😀⛰🥾🏴
A fantastic effort climbing these Munros from Coire Cas. But well worth it. The views in the video are just stunning. The Cairngorms are so different to the other hills - the hills of the west - remote but accessible.
Well done James, another milestone for you..I still have two Cairngorm Munros to do. I may leave them as my last two to complete. ! See you In the hills..
Good effort - just finished The Cairngorms myself on Saturday past when I did An Sgarsoch and Càrn an Fhidhleir ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WGgqf20EkHw.html - might need to start again mind
Awesome video. Very jealous. What a camping spot! Walked them last year. 4 hours from the summit of An Socach to the car was hideous. Wished the boat was running then!🤣 Loving the drone footage.
Wow another fantastic video james. cloud inversion was amazing definitely 10/10. i have followed your amazing journey from your very first munro. not done these 4 yet as like yourself been waiting for the boat to be back in action.
Thinking to myself 'I really should comment more on some of these videos' as after making a few myself there is a good bit of effort put in, for me to just sit here and enjoy. I especially enjoyed this one. The Mullardoch hills are specially to me as I had a great couple days fast packing them last September and started a wee video making journey I've been on. Always nice to see others doing them. Thanks
