Join myself Andrew,Brett and Peter as we set off along the South Glen Shiel Ridge to take in the 7 munros. A very long but rewarding day with stunning views.
Thanks Euan appreciate that, yeh couldn’t have asked for a better day really, great hiking/weather/company/beers.👍 Scenery is beautiful up there. I’ll be back again some day. Thanks again Euan ATB Frank.
Frank, nice job hiking and video editing. Your mountain treks are always entertaining with fantastic scenery. It amazes me how every ascent is unique in its own way; that's one reason I love hiking in mountains!
Cheers Chip, glad your enjoying them👍 yeh I’m always thinking how diff they are as well and it’s good to go up diff routes if you revisit some mountains. Thanks again Chip ATB Frank
Hi Frank, Well done, what a great day you had with the guy's. It's a nice feeling to finally get seven from your total after a stunning day. Glen Shiel has always been a favourite to visit with so many tops to choose from. Cheers.
Thanks Charlie, yeh was so glad we got clear tops and great views, a long hike but well worth it. That closes the door on kintail now, until the munro journey is finished and I’ll certainly be back. Was nice to meet a couple Andrews friend and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Yip 24 to go now, getting closer. Thanks again Charlie ATB Frank
Fantastic Frank. Brought back some Fantastic memories when me and Brian done it. It's a fantastic Hike ( one of my favourites) Great vlog and edit mate 10/10. 💯
Thanks Jon, hope you get the weather for it to appreciate just how good it is. Easy walking between them, it’s just the length of the ridge. Great views in every direction Thanks again ATB Frank

Cheers Brian, weather conditions were spot on, clear views and a breeze almost all the way, lovely. Yeh was grateful to Peter for sharing his footage which was excellent. They beers never tasted so good mate and only 30 mins away from the hike.🍺🍺🍺🍺🤣🤣 Cheers again mate ATB Franko👍
Hi Frank. Absolutely amazing mate, stunning views. I bet those well earned beers went down a treat later that evening. All the best mate, Dave 😀🥾⛰🏴🏴
Thanks Dave, it was an epic day taking in 7 munro and what a fantastic ridge walk. Yeh we only had to travel 30 mins to our digs and yeh that 1st beer, what can I say.🍺🙏🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again for tuning in Dave. ATB Frank🏔🥾🏴🏴
Fabulous video as usual Frank. We did that walk almost 20 years ago in great conditions as well. I was knackered at the end of an 11 hour day! ATB Tam.
Thanks Tam, yeh it’s a glorious ridge walk and was so glad the tops stayed clear for us. A well earned beer when we got back to the digs.🍺👍 Thanks again Tam ATB Frank
Great video. I had a similar sort of day in 2005 but it was September and the midges on the descent were horrendous. That "wee lump" after summit seven nearly finished me, and the descent back to the road was purgatory! My friend and I only had one car...at the Cluanie Inn. And no-one wanted to pick up hitchhikers. My friend decided he'd run back to the car if I carried his rucksack so off he ran and I trudged. Finally a lovely German couple picked me up, but by the time I had got the rucksacks and myself into the car, it was full of midges and I felt so embarrassed 😬. Beers and a night in the Cluanie Inn sorted everything. Nice music at the end, Frank. Can't beat the Gael.
Hi Janis, thanks for your comment. Luckily no midges for us which was a blessing🙏. They can certainly ruin a day and a car journey🤣. Hats off to your friend for running back as it’s a fair old distance all uphill. Yeh that decent seemed to go on forever and I was well had to reach the car.its a stunning ridge walk and so glad we got the views. Thanks again for watching & commenting ATB Frank
Nice one Frank and lads. 👍 Fine conditions.. Still on the radar for me like. Was gonnae camp on them last year, but dinnae fancy walking in the heat. Plus there is the lift back along the road. Thumb it or bus...A day like your conditions wis be perfect. 😎
Cheers Kev, yeh good tae get oot with Andrew and the lads, a good was had by all. We got fantastic conditions really, clear tops and a steady breeze. Cheers again Kev ATB Frank
👍 brilliant video... Think it's the best vid I've seen for this hike , adding the drone shots from the tops was a good idea , helped to make out the route. I was on Blaven when you where doing this , need to get that 7 done soon I'm getting old too 😂
Thanks very much Allan, yeh I usually take my drone but was wanting to keep my rucksack weight down as much as poss as there’s no water source up there. So a big thanks to Peter for taking his drone and sharing the footage. Blaven is a cracker and hope you got the views, yeh that was my thinking also, get 7 done in a day before I got too old 🤣🤣 Thanks again ATB Frank
Wow Graeme, that’s a fair old distance with no water, yeh we knew there was no water source so we made sure we had plenty, heavy rucksack to start with tho. It’s a great ridge and I managed it in good weather. Thanks again Graeme ATB Frank
Thanks Allan, yeh was just waiting on the right conditions and doing it with other for the 2 cars needed. Hope you get great weather for it also as it’s a belter. Thanks again ATB Frank
Fantastic footage and drone shots. You got great conditions for it. Seen nowt when I did it. And dare I say it all the better for the absence of that awful beluga music😂 Regards Brian
🤣🤣 cheers Brian, went to see Beluga Lagoon at the Barrowland last week, great night🤣👍 Aye we got great conditions for the ridge which I really enjoyed, enough of a breeze to keep you cool all along. Wouldn’t fancy doing all them without any views. Cheers Brian ATB Frank
