Trying to build some mountain fitness after a long period away from the hills Alistair hiked An Caisteal, which translates to The Castle, situated to the north of Loch Lomond among the Munros above Crianlarich.

It’s always a wake up call when you haven’t hiked for a while.

@HighlandHikers Год назад

The next one was a lot better!

@williammclauchlan2610 8 месяцев назад

Safety first Alastair,as usual another great video,looking to do these in the next month or two dependant on conditions of course,thanks for sharing.

@HighlandHikers 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching William. Do you plan to do the traditional route?

@outofayrshire143 Год назад

Nice wee video mate. The right decision, if you’re not feeling the love and enjoying it then it’s a no brainier. The mountain will be there for another day plus you avoid the bogfest off Beinn a Chroin lol…..take care Steven 😊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@HighlandHikers Год назад

Thanks Steven. I’ll give it another bash in future when I’ll hopefully get a view up there for a change 😂

@troymorgan4955 Год назад

Sounds like the right decision. A good day out might've turned into a grim slog.

@HighlandHikers Год назад

Looking back it was the right decision. By the time I got back to the car I was more tired than I expected, so I’m glad I didn’t do the extra distance through the bog.

@kintyrehiker Год назад

I'd be going back that way as well. Anything to avoid the long bog 😭 Nice video Alistair 👍

Thanks David!

I went up Beinn Narnain last week but as I got to the last third the thick cloud came in just as the proper scrambling parts began. I aborted the climb, was gutted but was on my own, visibility was poor and with the scrambling ahead I turned back. I think safety first, the mountain will always be there and shall return.

@HighlandHikers Год назад

Always better to stay safe and go back another day. I think with the Beinn Narnain scramble section you’re almost hemmed in by the rock on either side.

@AScotsmanOutdoors Год назад

Absolutely the best decision to get off when things don't feel right. Just remember there's two summits on Beinn a'Chroin too (i found out the hard way 😂). Excellent stuff as always and good to see this hill through others eyes.

@HighlandHikers Год назад

Was the right decision on the day and having been round the route before I was happy to give Beinn a'Chroin a miss this time. Might visit them all again for a camping trip in future.

@AScotsmanOutdoors Год назад

@@HighlandHikers live to fight (or climb) another day I say. I enjoyed the whole range and would probably like to head back up for camps but I need to get my numbers up for the Munros overall. Great to see you out and it's helped spur me on too.

@HighlandHikers Год назад

I’m starting to get out of day trip range without long drives. Have a few left within a decent driveable range but will be looking at weekends away soon enough

@davidmccormack5973 Год назад

i am planning to do those 2 hills this year i did the Beinn Cabhair last year again that was a bit boggy and plenty of midges but still enjoyable safe travels

@HighlandHikers Год назад

I enjoy Chabhair, great hill that gets too much hate

@alistairthow1384 Год назад

I know your pain over past six months , it takes a wee while to get the fitness back after a fairly long layoff. Hopefully we're both heading in the right direction. 😂

@HighlandHikers Год назад

We will get there soon enough!

@PAADVENTURES1 Год назад

Another day Alastair! You got yourself a nice wee audio recording device there? Any good? Audio has been my nemesis since day one! Paul

@HighlandHikers Год назад

Aye will go up again in future, but may be a while! Yeah it’s not too bad although a wireless mic is probably the best way to go. Less faff but a bit pricey.

@craiggeddes9023 Год назад

Sensible......especially on your own, hill will always be there for another day.

@HighlandHikers Год назад

Very true Craig!

@dougieranger Год назад

Pity about the clag but it’s still a great day out.

@HighlandHikers Год назад

It was one of those days where I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind to be out on my own.

@dougieranger Год назад

@@HighlandHikers Yes, we all get those. Stay strong brother.

@TheMarco99 Год назад

Definitely made the right decision on turning around Alistdair. I completed the range two weeks ago finishing on both of these and was in the clag the whole time except for the descent from Beinn a Chroin where both munros opened up which I suppose is every hillwalkers luck 😂. Scramble was okay on Beinn a Chroin which took a bit of effort but got up it without too much hassle.

@HighlandHikers Год назад

The first time I did these I never saw a thing from before An Caisteal summit and till after Beinn a’Chroin summit. Didn’t fancy repeating that 😂 might try the pair on a longer hike once fit again.
