Well done Frank boat looked good it wasn’t available when i did these Munro’s and I ended up backpacking them with the Affric Munro’s it was very tough and wild area. The ridges between each of those Munro’s is interesting and a good reason to go back at some point In clearer weather as views over to Loch Monar are stunning. I always enjoy your videos always very well made well done that’s a really tough walk cheers
@@andrewkingdom cheers Andrew, really appreciate those comments👍 That would have been tough going doing them with the Affric ones, very remote. Yeh was so glad we used the boat and our day started off brilliantly, but the good old fashion Scottish weather had other plans🤣🤣 My aim when I finish the munros is to revisit the ones I never got views from, so hopefully at some point I’ll be back Thanks again Andrew ATB Frank
A tough day Franko after the walks yous had already done...What a change in the weather.....Its not been the kindest of summers for us!! Well done! Paulo.
@@PAADVENTURES1 cheers mate, yeh we thought we were gonna go out with a bang, great weather great ridge walk but it wasn’t to be🤣🤣 Aye the summer on a whole has been shit, fingers crossed some decent weather hits us soon.☀️🏔👍 Cheers again Paulio ATB Franko
So unlucky with that weather , it's a brilliant hike, didn't enjoy the final descent either. Friend and I did it in 11hrs without the boat, what a difference a nice day makes 🤷♂️
@@itsablack1 cheers Allan, yeh so disappointing the weather as we thought we were gonna finish our week with a cracking ridge walk. I’ll bet it’s a cracker in good weather, boat ride was fun and yeh that final decent was murder ended up easier just sliding down in our bums 🤣👍 Thanks again ATB Frank
@@ootnboots cheers Stevie, yeh it was a day of 2 half’s . Long tiring day again but the beers and pizza were great that night.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍕🍕🍕 Cheers Stevie ATB Frank
Frank that started of looking great with the boat ride and the sunny weather a bummer the weather came in as these look fantastic munros , need to get up to get them done think i will probably walk along the loch be skint if i hire the boat myself 😂😂Atb Ally 👍👍
@@Allysmountainwalks6462 cheers Ally, yeh it can be expensive that boat if the no’s are not there. It would have been an amazing ridge walk if the weather had played ball. Hope you get better weather mate ATB Frank
A tough day and glad to see the ferry boat is running. The weather was certainly not your friend but it looks like the dreaded midges stayed away… some consolation. As a matter of interest, what campsite did you stay at? I’m hoping to do these four in the next couple of months and plan to camp, the idea of a shower, beer and pizza afterwards is very appealing. Really enjoyed the vid as always. Cheers
@@timothyewart8160 cheers Timothy appreciate the watch and comments👍 Yeh ferry boat is running but quite expensive. Less than 4 people £60pp 4 or more £40pp Still glad I used it tho. Yeh weather was the spoiler as the day went on. We stayed at the Cannich campsite which was brilliant Facilities were great and the breakfast in the on site cafe was brilliant. A short walk along the Main Street there is a double decker bus which serves as a cafe where you get the beers and pizzas. Which were lovely. Hope you get better weather when you attempt them. Thanks again ATB Frank
@@hikingwithfrank315 Thanks Frank, Yeah expensive ferry boat but if you’re no mountain goat ( and I’m certainly not one of those) a justifiable cost… Thanks also for giving me the name of the campsite, I’ll definitely use that…. It’s sounds ideal. Cheers Tim
I always find it crazy to think folk do that as part of a 12 loop. That route looked hard enough. Shame you got the clag but I think that’s what we’re gonna remember this summer for. Cracking video as usual frank 😊👌
@@Moffatmountainadventures cheers Robert, yeh no way would I contemplate doing the 12 in one round, this hike was well enough for me. Your right this summer will remember as a washout weather wise We still had a great time…. I think 🤣🤣 Thanks again Robert ATB Frank
Brilliant Frank😍👍..Great vlogging mate 😁👌🏻..The boat trip looked the bizzo..Looked tough tough going on those mountains mate..In the bag ⛰️👌🏻..Another good video mate. Cheers Murchie
@@murchiesmountains2820 cheers Murchie, the boat trip was great, just a pity the weather turned as it would have been a great ridge walk. Cheers again mate ATB Franko
Looked lovely to start with, i bet you were thinking this is gonna be great? Looked a tough old day for you both especially in those conditions. What does the boat save you in time? Well done anyway. Not many to go now. ATB Andy
@@andythemunroeater9884 cheers Andy, yeh it started off promising and ended up shit. The boat saved us around 2hrs walking which was great. As we speak 12 to go, but will defo wait for a good window weather for the rest. Cheers mate ATB Franko
@@trapper1948 cheers Tam, it was a long hard day which started out so promising.☀️🏔 Pints and pizza tasted extra special that night 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again Tam ATB Frank
@@DAoutdoors cheers Dave, always appreciate the comments👍 Yeh we thought our week away was going to finish with a lovely ridge walk, but alas it wasn’t to be.always need to be prepared for anything in the hills. Still a great trip Dave. Thanks again ATB Frank🏴🏴🏔🏔🏔🏔👍
It all looked so promising to begin with Frank ☀️ I'm just glad we got the boat 🚢 otherwise it would have been even worse 😂 a tough day indeed but the shower ,grub and beers were all enjoyed even more 🚿 😋🍺🍺🍺 a character building adventure 🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️ bring on the next one 🥾 cheers mate atb Brian 👍
@@thelifeofbrian282 cheers mate, yeh so glad we used the boat which was brill, another long tough day and a pity we didn’t finish on a high weather wise Still a great adventure mate and I’m sure there will be more to come.👍 Cheers again mate ATB Franko
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks Charlie, yeh it was a shame as we were really looking forward to finishing the trip with a great ridge walk and it looked so promising early doors☀️🏔 Yeh glad to get that area finished. Thanks again Charlie ATB Frank
@@Chiphikes thanks Chip, it was a great trip involving some long days, still a few long days ahead to complete my munro journey👍 Thanks again Chip ATB Frank
@@barrieshaw5465 cheers Barrie, yeh the boat was a godsend, didn’t fancy the long walk along the shoreline. Yeh we bum slid a good way down that last slope as we were slipping most of the way anyway🤣🤣 Glad to get these ticked off.👍 Thanks again ATB Frank
Talk about timing Frank,phoned Angus at 5pm the night.😂😂😂 Got 2 weeks off work starting Friday and hoping to go in for these 4 Saturday morning.Put these ones off for years and the "time is nigh" Thanks for giving me a view of what I'm in for.Weather conditions were so different to when u stepped off the boat to u and Brian up there in all sorts of weather. Well done guys.😃👏👏
@@AndyOB cheers Andy, yeh defo use the boat, saves a few hrs on what is a long day, hope there’s someone else on the boat as he’s a dear bugger. Yeh it looked so promising when we got off the boat, but as you saw things steadily got worse. Was carrying a bit of a calf injury from the 1st summit onwards. Might go back and do them again Andy, then again maybe I won’t.🤣🤣 Enjoy them mate if you go on sat.👍 ATB Frank
In the rain and clag again Franko! Started off promising like when we visited and then all downhill! Good to go with Brian to get these ones done though!! Nice tune ❤. Paulo
@@PAADVENTURES1 cheers Paul, yeh this weather is pants so far. Yeh glad we got some views from the 1st one when we did them. Yeh Brian did the favour for me with some munros. Cheers again mate ATB Franko
You definitely can’t say your fair weather hikers (unlike myself 😂) you’ve had all sorts on that trip. Cracking video again all the same frank. Belter of a sausage roll 😊
@@Moffatmountainadventures cheers Robert, yeh weather had been a right mixed bag on that trip, that was defo the worst day. Tha sausage roll was really nice🤣🤣 Cheers again mate ATB Frank
@@ALochOnTheWildSide cheers Dave, was defo the worst day weather wise, yeh Brian has helped me when he had done them before as well. Grub & beers tasted better that night for sure 🍕🍕🍺🍺🍺 Cheers Dave ATB Franko
Top vlogging mate 😍👌🏻..How far could you have taken the bikes on that track Frank?..Cool drone footage as well😁..Clag is such a bummer eh Cheers Murchie
@@murchiesmountains2820 cheers Murchie, you could park in the car park cycle down the road a wee bit then you could cycle up that good track all the way to the wee dam, wish we had done that 🚴🏽🚴🏽👍 Cheers Murchie ATB Franko
This place is just amazing frank , just pity with the weather again I was the same never really got any views from them when I was up there still got my fingers crossed this weather will change soon 😂. ATB ALLY 👍
@@Allysmountainwalks6462 cheers Ally, least I got some views last time I did them with Paul. This weather is crap just now. Thank god I got good weather for the AE ridge. Cheers mate ATB Frank
Travelled up from Norfolk to the Cairngorms & visited bein Nevis (only halfway 2 kids) what an amazing & beautiful country Scotland is!....west coast next! May it stay this way for years to come!!!🏴🏴
@@SCD-BOY thanks for the comment, yeh the Cairngorms are lovely but I prefer the west coast, the summit of Ben Nevis is lovely and usually very busy. Hope you enjoy your next visit ATB Frank
@@hikingwithfrank315 aye I'm getting there slowly but surely. Hoping to do Ptarmigan ridge in a couple of weeks time albeit a repeat but nevertheless a good way to see where the hill fitness is at mate
Squelchy.😂😂😂 That's being kind.It's worse after the turn off cairn Frank.😱 I had a long walk out coming off Carn Eige 3 and would upgrade squelchy to swampy.😂😂👍 U and Brian put in some shifts for all these ones up here.😃👏👏
@@AndyOB cheers Andy, yeh thankfully we turned off at that cairn, hate those underfoot conditions, things got better underfoot from there but unfortunately got worse above us 🤣🤣 Yeh it was a long hard week but we still had a great time Andy. Cheers again mate ATB Frank
The highlight of the day was eating a sausage roll 😅 your not far wrong mate 😂 cracking tune ❤ aye one of those hill days that unfortunately have been happening a lot this year, piss weather 😢 but I loved the gate climbing, just as well I'm young and fit 😂 another wee adventure 🥾 character building stuff 😂 nice one Franko 👌 atb Brian 👍
@@thelifeofbrian282 aye cheers Brian, we certainly are getting our fair share of shit weather this year, just gotta get on with it at times💪🥾🥾 aye yer a fit something year old 🤣👍 Still a great day oot or should I say a better night oot 🍺🍺🍺🤣🤣 Cheers again mate ATB Frank
@@Keith3007 thanks Keith, I know music on vids is not everyone’s cup of tea, but I thought it suited the conditions as well.👍 Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, much appreciated ATB Frank
@@hikingwithfrank315 If you into that style of deep ambient electronic music for any more video's check out this album by a friend of mine from my music production days. ASC (artist) - Trans-Neptunian Objects (album) Looking to do that route in winter, bluebird weather window permitting. Cheers
@@brianmcbain6997 cheers Brian, aye Brian has already repeated some to keep me company, good to get them ticked off for Brian, glad I got some views the last time I did them. Cheers again ATB Frank
Hi Frank, It was great getting them ticked off for Brian but you've been out of luck with the weather gods. It wouldn't have been rediculous to expect clear tops at this time of year..... nae luck. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 hi Charlie, didn’t mind at all going around these 2 again for Brian, he’s done the same for me👍 Yeh the height of summer and you’ve got to be prepared for anything up in the hills, Scotland for you eh 🤣🤣 Mullardoch 4 wasn’t much better Charlie.🤣👍 Thanks again ATB Frank
Hi Frank, loved this video mate. Me and my Dad did this exact same walk 3 years ago now, it’s was our first two Munro’s. Fortunately we had much better conditions than you had, we could see all the way down to Loch Mullardoch and the mountains the other side. Thanks for sharing mate and bringing back some wonderful memories for me. All the best mate Dave 😀🥾⛰🏴🏴
@@DAoutdoors cheers Dave, glad it brought back some good memories. It is a fantastic area and I’m glad I got great views from the 1st one the last time I did them. The weather was a right mixed bag that week and that was defo the worst day. Thanks again Dave. ATB Frank🏴🏴🏔👍
Looing forwards to seeing the next upload Mullardoch 4. I just completed those 21st July and had a fantastic day but managed to catch Brian's upload before hand and thought 'oh cr@p, that looks well tough' . Loving the uploads Frank 🙌
@@beanser1 cheers Keith, I’m glad you got the weather as it would have been fantastic viewing.☀️🏔🏔🏔🏔👍 Our day started promising but once we reached the 1sr summit it started deteriorating. It was a very tough day in those conditions. Did you use the boat.? Thanks again Keith, glad you’re enjoying the vids.👍 ATB Frank
@@hikingwithfrank315 yeah that was mega fun. Our group was going to do the 12 Munro circuit at the beginning of June wild camping 3 nights but we had to bail out walking the entire Loch out as Snow had been forecasted for our last night camping. That walk out was strenuous so going back there to complete the Mullardoch 4 on the boat was awesome. Something like 8k in 8 minutes and we got to see a white tailed eagle flying out of the small island which was a wonderful sight to see. Your morning looked so promising. Astonishing how quickly the weather can change.
@@beanser1 yeh the boat journey was superb Keith, beautiful scenery on the way down the loch, that was great you saw an eagle always impressive seeing them so close. Yeh our morning was great until we reached the ridge line then it was miserable from there on.
Nice big day that one Frank! Some of the views were outstanding the Loch drone shot and the view down the Glen with the ridge that you had just walked down was superb too! Some truly stunning footage, well shot. Cheers, Duncan
@@outdoorsdj thanks Duncan, appreciate the comments, yeh it was a long day with very changeable weather🤣, that’s Scotland for you, still was a cracking day, we got much better weather on the following day doing the 3 munros just up the road from these 3. Thanks again ATB Frank
Franktastic! Cracking video Franko. Yous knocked it off with the weather on these three! Amazing views and good chat. Nice to see the route and i think i will try and follow your route! Definitely saving them for a nice day though!, 😁😁😁 . Top drawer! Paulo
Cheers Paul, yeh we certainly got the weather for these 3, turned oot a belter of a day. Yeh save them for a good weather spell and I defo think that’s the best way with your bike.🚴🏽🏔🏔🏔👍 Cheers Paul ATB Franko👍
Great video.Frank. all the fun of staying in a hostel in the.moddle.of nowhere 😂. Lots of beeping noises going on up there as well? Som3 great views from up there, especially that 3rd munro. That route you took was definitely shorter than the route I did. ATB Andy
@@andythemunroeater9884 cheers Andy, was so looking forward to even a Luke warm shower, but it was brutally cold 🤣🤣 Must have been my GPS going off. I thought we took the same route until heading home.?
Nice one Frank. Cracking day 😎. Better than day 1 eh....Wis like a big hoose oan the 1st summit eh 😁 cauld shower, ooooft 😬 I'll watch this again when I come tae dae them. 👍🏻
Glen Affric Frank stunning place up there and those mountains are a great walk and quite a bit in to the last one, but you got great weather for them , when i done them was hit and miss with the views but still enjoyed them making me want to get back up there. Atb Ally 👍👍
@@Allysmountainwalks6462 cheers Ally, it turned out to be the best day of the trip, long but rewarding. It was a good way we went for these 3. Bit of a trek to the outlier but well worth it. Would love to go back up there in winter. Thanks again Ally ATB Frank
