I did the full circuit of 12 Munros back in 1995 starting at the Mullardoch House hotel. I did them in two days with an overnight camp just below 3000ft near the summit of Mullach na Dheirgain. Loving your videos but they remind me how little technology we had back then. Just the SMC and Butterfield books, OS Maps, compass and our imagination.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

I bet that was a fantastic trip Nigel! In a way I’m slightly jealous of how little technology there was - maybe makes for a purer experience? But it does come in handy! Cheers, James

@Martycycleman Год назад

Thanks James for persisting with the wee beasties.

@daveg-j1866 2 года назад

Beautiful film of a beautiful day. I reckon you can see the Carn Eige / Mam Sodhail twins from over 100 other Munros, so you'll get lots of reminders of this day

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks again Dave, yes I have noticed them from a few Munros already - pretty sure I can see them on a clear day from my house in Inverness 😂 great mountains, Atb, James

@TheMarco99 9 месяцев назад

Thoroughly enjoyed this video.

@allanboatutube 2 года назад

Quite a hard day, so well done for finding the extra time for gathering all that footage for the video. Being more-or-less bed-ridden now I am happily reliving my 21 year Munro journey through your own beautifully filmed series of stories. My grateful thanks.

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

It was a long day for these, glad you are enjoying my journey so far 😁 Cheers, James

@anniemack4282 2 года назад

You are a fine film maker...love what you have done: the brevity of each film, the right balance of speech and views, the music and any film with Lexie is complete. Just watched your Being na Lap video and it's my favourite yet. I'm an auld yin and I'm living the Munros (again) through your terrific diary. All the best for your journey.

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thank you Annie, still trying to improve with each video - getting the balance right can be tough sometimes! Im glad you are enjoying the videos 😁 Thanks for watching, Atb, James

@stihl3826 11 месяцев назад

Did the same circuit with the dog a couple of weeks ago. Very hot and I was surprised how steep the rock stack climb was on the approach to Carn Eighe but the views as you say are stunning.

@anthonycdamico 2 года назад

Beautiful video again mate. Loving these. Thanks for putting up with the nasty bugs for us! Looking forward to the next video

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks for watching Anthony 😁 the bugs have been crazy this year! Atb, James

@normandavidson6689 2 года назад

Why it was demoted baffles me. By any accepted definition of a Munro, Sgurr na Lapaich fits the bill perfectly. Its height is not in question, meaning its demise comes from whether there is “sufficient separation” from neighbouring hills - a term open to any number of interpretations, though the character of the hill and the time taken to travel between it and its nearest peak are taken into consideration. An accepted level of separation has been deemed to be 30 minutes walking time using Naismith’s rule. My rough route plan had the summit over 3.5km away from Mam Sodhail and with 170m height gain to be negotiated, meaning the walking time would be more than an hour.And as for character, this original Munro is a prominent landmark in Glen Affric and in my view deserves its place back on the list! Perhaps it suffers from the fear of confusion with its namesake a few miles away in Mullardoch.

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

It makes no sense to me, the view of it from Glen Affric is spectacular! Would be interested to know the exact reason for demotion, Have done a lot of munros that don’t deserve munros status as much as Sgurr Na Laipach. Hope they upgrade it one day, will boost my total since I have done it 😂

@HighlandHikers 2 года назад

Compare it to Tolmount and Tom Buidhe in the Cairngorms and it becomes even more baffling. The route between them is slightly over 2km with about 70m of descent and ascent between them. Even in a straight line the height gain is about 120m.

@Kev_Russ 2 года назад

Stunning James. A great watch. Brilliant drone footage and tunage. I've still to do them. I'll take a tent when I do 😉

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Cheers Kev, they were a proper trek 😂 i regret not camping them, some awesome spots up there.. best pitch would be on side of Mam Sodhail 😁

@HighlandFifer 2 года назад

Some of the best munros IMO. Looking forward to doing them again.

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

They are fantastic hills, great feeling of remoteness. Perfect for wildcamping too, can see why you would do them again, Atb, James

@jimmarshall9945 Год назад

Great video James.... I remember doing my first round of Munro's and all the top's and doing ever bigger day's, what I learned from that is, if you do big groups at a time and you're in and out in a day or two you never get a good prospective of what the area is really like, doing the second round I sometimes would have no memory of doing some hill's, so going back to finish hill's in the same area can be a good thing.👍

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Jim, I think your right with that - It’s better to take in the area and appreciate it 😁 are you enjoying the second round as much as the first? Cheers, James

@jimmarshall9945 Год назад

Hi James, finished the 2nd round 4 years ago, most of the way through the Corbetts now. It was just a thought as I remember doing all the Mamors and top's in a day from Kinlochleven and when I went to help my friend do the Ring of Steal I found I really didn't know much about that area because I'd only done the Ridge. Cheers Jim, once again enjoying your videos. 👍

@AndyOB 2 года назад

Excellent video James and what a day you got for it bar the beasties,lol.Still to do all 12 in there and i think i will break myself in gently with Tom a' Chòinich and Toll Creagach first.😃👍

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks Andy, Amazing day apart from that 😂 Its a great area, you will enjoy it 😀 Think I will do them 2 next, Atb, James

@yerjokin 2 года назад

What a cracking day but a long day in the hills mate and so clear ☀️! Not done them but they look great! Shame about the demoted Munro but glad I’ve never done that one when it was a Munro as I’d be ragin 😂 as that’s happened to me before🙄😂 but u did the safe thing by going up it😂👍🏻

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Aye mate got lucky with the weather! Long day for these, bring a tent and camp them 😂👍 haha, aye better to be safe, dont want to be going all the way back for that one 😂

@KMAdventuresYT 2 года назад

Great video James ! I missed last few videos you uploaded and just trying to catch up as I really enjoy following your journey. Not had much time for munros myself recently but you motivate me to go out there. ATB

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks mate, this was a long long day 😂 glad they are helping you get motivated! Atb, James

@adventurefilmclub2549 2 года назад

Nice one! Have literally never set foot in that part of Scotland, so it's near the top of my list for summit camps and exploration. Got a new camera arriving Friday and a car back on the road so can't wait to get back out into them mountains soon!

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks for watching 😁 amazing part of Scotland, great feeling of remoteness! Ah nice one, you will be glad! What camera did you go for? Enjoy the mountains 😁 Atb, James

@adventurefilmclub2549 2 года назад

@@ScottishMunroJourney I might do the Affric Kintail way this winter and explore a Munro or two along the way. I went for a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and a wide angle prime cine lens! It's meant to have amazing image quality for filming, although 100% manual so no autofocus or the like. I'd better get learning how to use it properly!

@whenigotothemountains1203 2 года назад

Excellent James. You’ve got a thing for fly infested cairns eh? Recall finding these tough 15 years ago. Think we went from Loch M tho cos did the Toll and Tom pair on the same day too. Gordon

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Hi James, Well done on these remote munros but great the weather played the game. Not fancy take the other two to the east? Take care, Charlie.

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks Charlie, got lucky with the weather! I did fancy the other two, but will tackle them another time.. maybe a winter round 😁 Atb, James

@andrewsadventures5747 2 года назад

I’m enjoying watching your Munro Journey James. A long one that I will need to do at some point. As for next one, have you done the Saddle via the Forcan Ridge and Sgurr na Sgine?? I would recommend that if you haven’t. Great route and ridge not too exposed!

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Cheers Andrew! Its a great (long) day out this one, not done the saddle yet, but planning it before the end of year 😁 thanks for recommendation, Atb, James

@glentyan2505 2 года назад

Interesting question about the demotion, what is also interesting is that Scotland is bouncing back from the weight of the ice from the last ice age making mountains higher but will that be offset by rising sea levels.

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Its a strange one - it certainly looks like a munro! The experts must know better though 😁 Cheers, James

@optimoespacio 2 года назад

Be nice to see you head up Blaven/ blabhein on skye. And a good one for the views is Beinn sgritheall above arnisdale over in the same rough area.

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Hopefully going to get Blaven before the end of the year - need to make a start on Skye 😁 Atb, James

@Pferret_Weasel 2 года назад

@christinebella5706 2 года назад

Come on down and climb in the Arrochar Alps 😀

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Need to hit that area soon 😁 Atb, James

@itsablack1 Год назад

Hoping to do these munros this Saturday (15/04/23) . was also hoping you would have shown the accent up to the ridge but you didn't. Might not do the walkhighlands route like you did. That demoted munro your talking about, if you've done the Lochnagar route ? I don't know how all of those are munros ?

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Sorry just seen your comment now, hope you enjoyed the route! Its a long day.. your totally right, I don’t know how some of the Lochnagar ones are seperate munros.. its confusing! Cheers, James

@paulberryman81 2 года назад

Hey. Another great video and another great (but long!) day in our special hills for you. Off to do the south Glen Shiel ridge this weekend and can't wait to get out there. One question not hill related - what is the music at 8.40? look forward to the next video!

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks for watching Paul, enjoy the Glen Shiel ridge - an amazing day! The song is from Beluga Lagoon, they have some amazing tunes, Atb, James

@kisilvan 2 года назад

Well done, quite the hike especially on your own. What views though. I never seem to get good view days out Glen Affric when I go. Have you done the Braeriach/cairntoul round yet? Couldn't find it on your list. Definately worth the round on a clear day. Another long day though from the sugar bowl car park. Beinn Meadhoin now the busy season has eased?

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks for watching 😁 I got lucky with the weather.. I havn’t done that round yet, been on my list for a while though! I really want to do the Munros and camp at Corrour Bothy, as its a huge one 😂 I do need to do some more Cairngorms before winter hits and we lose daylight hours.. Atb, James

@HighlandHikers 2 года назад

That didn’t look like the worse walk back to the car in terms of view. That ridge looked great! Will you reach 100 before the end of the year? Alistair

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Was great in terms of views 😂 should get to 100 pretty soon, anything above that will be a bonus 😂 thanks for watching, Atb, James

@TomTracey-fc3tr Год назад

Sorry different Sgurr na Lapaich but i don't rememeber the one you mention being a Munro. When was it demoted?

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

This one was only a Munro until 1921, for some reason they demoted it to a Munro Top 😁

@TomTracey-fc3tr Год назад

@@ScottishMunroJourney Ah 1921. Slightly before I was born in 1952😂😂

@TomTracey-fc3tr Год назад

Sgurr na Lapaich is still a Munro

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Sadly this one in Glen Affric is not, it was demoted in 1921..

@selwynmccausland4085 2 года назад

Well done James, that's certainly a long day. If I get around to doing them I might take a tent for a overnighter. In terms of ur next munros if u haven't already a trip down south to Ben Cruachan & Stob Dàimh is well worth it.

@ScottishMunroJourney 2 года назад

Thanks for watching Selwyn, these would be great for an overnighter, great flat pitches on-top of Mam Sodhail 😁 thanks for the recommendations - been looking at Ben Cruachan so will need to do it soon! Atb, James
