Hi James, crackin vid, lovely hills. Done them a couple years ago and got a light dusting of snow. I was a bit wary of scrambling the horns as well, turned out fine. Some lovely shots with the drone. ATB Frank.
Great video James, what a stunning day to be in Torridon. Quite possibly my favourite location in Scotland - it has something unique about it. I bagged these back in 2014 along with Beinn Eighe and Liathach, spending a couple of nights in the Torridon Inn. Great trip! I’ve actually got some footage from my old GoPro Hero2 - maybe I’ll make a video from it one day, although the quality is really bad in comparison to modern camera gear. Cheers, Douglas
I've just commented but looks like it didn't save ❓ Anyway ~ shorter version. This is my next hike. Where you came down is where I attempted to go up ~ didn't manage. The route you took here is where I plan to follow. However, don't think I'd manage the horns so I'll turn back before reaching them. Thank you for sharing this.
Lovely video sir. Heading up in September but will probably stay further south. I did Ben More and Stob Binnien in early October pre-covid and found it the best balance; still fairly long days, less traffic than high summer, yet early enough to avoid any chance of winter conditions. And didn't see a midge. Are they worse in coastal areas such as Torridon?
Thank you 😁 yes Sept/Oct is my favourite time, starts to quieten down.. Torridon & the west seem to be hotspots for the midge.. just keep moving and you will be fine 😁👍 Cheers, James
Excellent stuff, looks amazing in every direction......pity about the flies/midges. I remember getting bitten near to death in the Highlands years ago, I was covered in red spots for the next month.
Hello James, thank you ever so much for this one. Ben Alligin is my favourite mountain, though I couldn’t climb the horns because I have no head for heights unfortunately. But I love this mountain anyway. So thanks again for showing me the whole traverse!
@Scottish Munro Journey thanks for the reply. Me myself aren't new to hill walking and munros. I've tried and tested the dog on flat walls and she fails every time , hence the question regarding cattle etc.
Beautiful photography. You can really feel the awesomeness of being up there with the fantastic panorama. I hope to walk up there in the future on such a day as this.
Nice one. Did it with my dog a couple of years ago and no issues crossing the Horns. Worth mentioning that if the grass is wet then the by-pass route on the right side will be more dangerous than going along the ridge. The consequences of a slip and fall would probably be terminal.
Thanks Ian, good effort doing it with your dog, I wasn’t brave enough to take mine 😂 yes 100%, You wouldn’t stop a slip if you got going down there, Atb, James
Great new video mate! Stunning conditions. I've only been up Alligin in winter, but absolutely love those Torridon mountains! Totalled my car and haven't been out in weeks 😭 hopefully soon though!
