I’ve been wanting to climb Suilven for years, ever since I read an interview with Sheila Hancock who climbed Suilven at the age of 83 whilst filming Edie. It’s a mountain that really captures the imagination, as it rises, on its own, from the surrounding watery landscape. An incredible lump of sandstone that looks impossible to climb from many angles. I wanted to do it on a perfect day, and today we had the perfect forecast. Suilven turned out to be everything I hoped for, a long challenging day with great views from the top, in beautiful weather. The scramble to Suiven’s 2nd summit at Meall Meadonach, turned out to be too exposed for me, with us turning back with only about 15m to go to the top. If nothing else, it gives me a reason to head back again in the future.
About Rudolph’s Mountains
Welcome to the Rudolph’s Mountains channel, which records my journey to visit all the mountains in England and Wales over 2000ft, known as The Nuttalls. They were named after John & Anne Nuttall, who researched and created the initial list of tops, and published quite excellent books on how you could visit them all. I don’t always follow their routes, as I prefer to research the route myself, but I always use their route as a starting point.
I have been making movies of my days in the mountains for a couple of years now, initially just to share my adventures with friends and family. I can’t get out all the time, due to family and work commitments, so it’s going to take many years to get through them all, health permitting.
Each Episode is edited down from the original movie to around 30 minutes or less and then released on a Saturday at 12 noon. There won’t be a movie every week though. Each Episode has subtitles, as even I can’t understand what I’m saying half of the time!
If you are planning to venture out on the hills yourself, please make sure you research your route and that you are properly prepared. Always check the mountain weather and ground condition forecast, but don’t trust it! Mountain weather can be unpredictable, so prepare for the worst. Enjoy the mountains, but always take care so that you return home safely.
Thanks for watching.
