I always have the utmost respect for walkers who put safety first rather than showing off to the community by how brave or daring they are. You showed great self-control and wisdom in that decision. Fantastic video log of a memorable adventure.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Dave 😁

@glentyan2505 Год назад

What a tale, what an adventure, spectacular views and what brilliant photography. I'm sure your heart sank when you returned to see your missing kit and the joy of having your faith in human kindness being restored. Words fail me yet again on the lengths you go to record your trips to share with us.

@Earlofmar1 Год назад

my biggest mistake was walking past Barrisdale Bothy on my first Cape Wrath Trail. My best decision on my second CWT was to listen to my body, and stop early at Barrisdale for a complete recharge of batteries and body.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Definitely, its a great place! Electricity & a working toilet, what luxury 😂 Cheers, James

@smalltounboy Месяц назад

When I first watched this I though ‘why is he turning back cause of a bit of wind’, fast forward a year and I found myself in the exact same predicament at the same spot on Ladhar Bhienn………..thankfully managed a safe retreat back down to Mam Barrisdale

@ScottishMunroJourney Месяц назад

Its a narrow part of ridge that, my video didnt really do it justice at the time.. glad you got down safe 😁

@daveg-j1866 Год назад

Gutting about Ladhar Bheinn, but I'll console myself that I get another video when you try again. Fantastic to see Knoydart in such sunshine, what an adventure. Thanks again James

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

I was gutted getting so close.. but I get to return and experience the summit next time (hopefully!).. it’s a stunning place.. Cheers, James

@theresabuchan6844 Год назад

There are no words to adequately describe how amazing your video is and what an absolutely inspirational young man you are! All i can say is thank you so so much for sharing your epic adventures! The effort you go to in making these videos must be huge and is so much appreciated. Take care oot there James Theresa 😊

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks for your kind comment Theresa 😄 it was a great trip, looking forward to returning already.. Cheers, James

@TomTracey-fc3tr Год назад

Well done pal. You made the right decision to turn back. As my late Munro pal Jim always said the hills will be there long after us so we get more chances to climb them and as you say no one needs an excuse to return to Knoydart.

@danjeory3659 10 месяцев назад

Gutted you weren't able to make the second summit, but from a selfish point of view, delighted we'll get to see this incredible area again, hopefully with the ferry crossing next time! As for the tent, I'm blown away (no pun intended) that the MSR didn't hold up, but glad they'll replace everything no questions asked. Makes me realise how lucky I was that my Vango 200 only suffered a bent pole on my first night at Sligachan campsite in August 2022 after arriving with a decent forecast, only to get driving rain and 60mph gusts on the first night...

@andrewjeffrey485 Год назад

Brilliant 👏 & you certainly did do Knoydart justice! From every angle it is simply one of the most beautiful places on earth. She can bite you sometimes 😏

@jonmacdiarmid3671 Год назад

Knoydart commands respect you are on your own you make the decisions but it determines them I'm blown away what a place.

@grahampalmer9337 7 месяцев назад

Apart from a small bird at the campsite I neither heard nor saw any signs of wildlife (or sheep!) - which I found surprising frankly. I was particularly looking forward to deer off in the distance &, maybe, even a startled haggis scurrying back to its burrow. I'm glad that the tent company have done the decent, the right(!), thing. Expensive serious outdoor equipment should always be 'no questions asked'. I am envious of you. Alas my legs have now gone & I am no longer capable of even moderate terrain. I wish you all the best for future 'adventures' & many many happy miles ahead.

@philipharrison315 Год назад

I so enjoyed that - and you have my utmost respect for making the decision not to risk the summit. Bravo on all counts!

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Philip 😁

@TheMadmacs Год назад

it was a good call, the adventure ended well, and thats whats really important.

@doorntreader7624 4 месяца назад

Fabulous. I'm heading back to Iona & Skye in a few weeks and your films remind me of what I've been missing over the winter.

@ScottishMunroJourney 4 месяца назад

enjoy!

@charliemccartney7055 Год назад

Hi James, What a great experience you had in Knoydart and the memories will stay with you for ever. You'll be frustrated in not getting the third but it's no big deal as you'll have a few tops like that through your walking journey. You're definitely right not to add more risk than is necessary and its great excuse for a return trip albeit a bit earlier than expected. Well done... Cheers, Charlie

@kaladinstormblessed1055 8 месяцев назад

When my brother and i stayed in February we had the place to ourselves! Felt so remote walking the knoydarts

@shauncrawford9391 Год назад

Great video. I had a similar trip back in June 2016. At Kinlochourn I was running round the car putting on gear etc trying to avoid the midgies! I rushed fastening my rucksack and broke the chest strap clip! With the overnight gear the rucksack was very heavy so I had no choice but to tie the chest strap as it takes a lot of pressure off the shoulders but it was far from ideal. What a time to happen I thought. I walked in, dumped gear in the bothy and went up Ladhar Bheinn. It's very tough going as you say and you did the right thing turning back as it gets quite narrow on Stob a' Choire Odhair (pointy bit just beyond where you were). I remember thinking wouldn't like to be doing this in the wind as it fair drops away on both sides. I slept in the bothy which was very comfortable but you're at the mercy of people coming and going. I woke people the next morning about 5.00am getting ready for Luinne Bheinn & Meall Buidhe. The ground between the two knocked the stuffing out of me due to the up and down nature and the previous days activities. Walked back to the car that afternoon. Like yourself I was mesmorised by the area. Knoydart is indeed a brilliant place to hillwalk and your video makes me want to go back!

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Shaun - that sounds like a big adventure! Its an amazing place.. cant wait to return already.. 🏔 Cheers, James

@hikingbikingscotland1267 Год назад

Fantastic adventure. Done the correct thing turning back . No need to take risks when you're miles from anywhere and solo.

@pjagger69 Год назад

Well I know a 3 day trip that’s just added itself to my plans for just after midge season.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Haha thats the main thing, avoid midge at all cost 😂

@duneideann9241 3 месяца назад

Stunning area What a great walk

@eddieharwood7788 Год назад

Well the good side is that you have to go back to this fantastic area again. The lower hills there ain't half bad either. Ben Aden I find themost stricking and it sums the whole area up - "All grass from above and all rock from below. It is physically much easier to traverse from Luinne Bheinn to Meall Buidhe via th.e 2 lochans to the west, but the high route is amzing in weather like you had.

@gerryboyd178 Год назад

I fell Ill on Sgurr na Ciche years back and had to make a night crossing to drag myself out. Thankfully others were with me. It is tough terrain. Great recording.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thats good you made it out OK - tough terrain like you say! Cheers, James

@alistairthow1384 Год назад

The objective is always to get back home, the tops are a bonus James. An absolutely fantastic place btw.

@grahamhaines9931 Год назад

Good shout on Ladhar Bheinn. The hills will always be there tomorrow. When I climbed Bidean nam Bian it took me 3 attempts before I got up it. I’ve also been there with a broken tent pole as well - easily sorted. Still a great video and memorable trip. Thanks for sharing James.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Graham - I bet it makes it all the more special once you got to the top of Bidean 😁🏔 Cheers, James

@ajollygoodchap Год назад

Great video! What would we do without people like you who upload films of your adventures that are both informative and inspirational. Also what a nice geezer you are. I like to walk alone but if i had to walk with someone I'd choose you (if Alice Roberts wasn't free).

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thank you, glad you have been enjoying the videos 😁 haha i’ll take that as a compliment 😂 Cheers, James

@jonathanwillingham9113 Год назад

A super video where you showed Knoydart at its best. A very memorable expedition for you. It is not an area I have been in yet, I have that still to come. With regards your attempt on Ladher Bheinn, you absolutely made the correct decision. Safety is paramount. As the saying goes ‘He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day’. I very much look forward to your video,when you return and conquer Ladher Bheinn.

@drewnicol2455 Год назад

Great video mate and heh you’ll live to fight another day…you made the right decision and the hills aren’t going anywhere….brilliant scenery mate thanks.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Drew, looking forward to returning for Ladhar Bheinn already 😄

@stuartwarner6719 Год назад

Looks like you had a superb trip. Full support for playing the conditions and deciding it was not smart to push over the exposed windy tops solo in such a remote area. BIG shout out to the folks who packed up your gear to stop it getting more wrecked in the wind - they could so easily have just walked past it, but decided instead to actively try to save your gear from further harm.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

It was great - even with the “disasters” 😁 look forward to returning already! Cheers, James

@johndgn Год назад

Good shout, 3 of us got blown off our feet at 29.27 on 08.05.13 luckily to shallow side, slid on our bums down 100 metres, I took heavy rucky off to put on waterproof trousers and it blew down hill! Was ok on way up.. descended to Inverie. No hardship to go back to Knoydart 😁

@scottishclimber7630 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your Knoydart adventure James. You are right saying it's a special place. It's never easy turning back before the summit, but it's best to stay safe. Ladhar Bheinn is a mighty mountain and best kept for day when you can relax at the top to enjoy the views. I summit camped on it two years ago during settled spell of weather in August using ferry.from Inverie. On my 1st trip in June '05 I compleated the Munros up there and used boat from Arnisdale on that trip. Glad your tent is being sorted. ATB Derek

@fredscratchet1355 Год назад

Knoydart amazing. Such a shame about the wind but it was definitely too dangerous to continue and it's there for the next time. Thanks for a beautiful video.💖

@onion_wind Год назад

That's a great tent, just be careful where you pitch it when it's really windy. If you want any advice on it, I can give you an insight.

@robrieder8861 Год назад

James, thank you so much for the video. I was glued watching it. I've been lucky enough to go to that area but not as far in as you went. However this September a friend and I are planning to do pretty much exactly what you did, so your video log is invaluable to me. I think you have the perfect balance of views and storytelling in your video. Great editing. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thank you 😁 Knoydart is a fantastic place, I cant wait to return already! Hope you enjoy your trip! Cheers, James

@williampaterson1706 Год назад

Good choice in turning back the mountain will always be their to go back and bag happened to me on my last trip up a very steep hill but will go back and bag it great vlog again we live in the most beautiful country in the world James

@byMikes Год назад

Cracking video, mate. You did the right thing turning back. Very sensible. Just gives you another reason to return...

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks, yes no excuses needed to return to Knoydart.. Cheers, James

@Broonzied Год назад

Another great video James. The walk in along the lochside is lovely and when I did this a few years back on route to Ladhar Bheinn I was lucky enough to witness what I am pretty sure was a sea eagle flying down the loch.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thank you - it was an amazing walk 😁 plenty of wildlife, I never seen sea eagles but I did see some seals in the loch 😁

@d2cko 11 месяцев назад

Best video yet James. You could tell that you were gutted by turning back but it was a great decision.

@ScottishMunroJourney 11 месяцев назад

Thank you 😁 tough decision, but looking back I think it was the right one

@stephenoverthrow2463 Год назад

James, that was just epic. That was the bravest decision I've seen someone make in ages in turning back so close to the summit. As they say, it ain't going anywhere and it's always there for another day. We've had a few of those in Glen Coe over the years, even worse when we travel up from Gloucester each December! But it's always there for the following year. Stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago (been addicted to Bushman and Blue for months). Brilliant videos with fantastic views. Keep up the good work. Ozzy Gloucester.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Ozzy, it was a really tough decision to make but I think it was the right one.. being alone with no signal seems to make things worse 😂 Cheers, James

@m1klgordon Год назад

Thank you, James. Wonderful video!

@jimmarshall9945 Год назад

Hi James, great video, what a shame you didn't achieve your objective and damaged your tent.... But you'll have learned some lessons. Done these in summer and winter + the Corbetts there fantastic as well. Getting the wee boat from Arnisdale is a great way and saves a walk in. Again a brill vid. ATP jim. 👌👍

@frankbruce394 Год назад

Brilliant, I love watching your videos. Although I have only done 35 Munros, I was lucky enough to complete Ladhar Bheinn from Inverie a few years back. Fantastic film and so sensible to adjust according to weather.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Frank, Ladhar Bheinn looked amazing from what I could see 😁 Cheers, James

@nickname6747 Год назад

Thanks for uploading, James. Seen other RU-vidrs who've had similar problems with MSR tents. Right call and thanks for sharing that. KBO and Ladhar Bheinn will be in the bag. ATB. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏔👍

@andyalexander537 Год назад

Brilliant James, loved watching this one. Great decision to turn back on Ladhar Beinne, but it means another great trip back. Take care,

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Andy, a tough call but think it was the right one 😄 Cheers, James

@Martin-lp4yg 4 месяца назад

safety first...the bergs will always be there...quality video!

@ScottishMunroJourney 4 месяца назад

Thank you 😁

@MaylesTrails Год назад

Smart decision to turn back in the strong winds. Always difficult to make that decision when the summit is within reach. Best of luck next time!

@cragratoutdoors Год назад

I have the same tent but haven’t used it in mixed weather yet so a little bit apprehensive now! Great adventure btw!

@wanderingscot8479 Год назад

Brilliant video and brilliant place. I did all three in a day from Barrisdale last September, it was an epic tough day of 15 hours. One to remember.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

That must have been epic! Great area! Cheers, James

@johnmacleod7722 Год назад

your videos just get better and better's gutted for you when you about turned but safety first always well done 👌

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks John, it will always be there to return to 😄 Cheers, James

@LindaOutdoors Год назад

Great video James. Ladhar Bheinn is my all time favourite Munro, you made the right decision to turn back. That wind looked ferocious. I have the same tent as you, used it about 20 times, once or twice when it was pretty windy with no issues. Hope I don’t have any after seeing what happened to yours. Fingers crossed you get it back soon & don’t have any more problems. 👍

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Linda 😁 I can see why! Its a great mountain, ah maybe I was just unlucky - it was probably pitched against the wind which didn’t help, a hard one to prevent as there wasn’t much wind when I left 😂 someone else’s tent got damaged the same day at Barrisdale.. hopefully an isolated incident 😁 Cheers, James

@anemone104 7 месяцев назад

Nice post. Good to see the views from some of the 'pointy bits'. Over the years I have spent several weeks in Lochs Nevis and Hourne. Some utterly stunning underwater scenery and habitats and the pointy bits seen from a boat are very tall. I did walk from Barrisdale to Inverie over Mam Barrisdale one year. July and excellent settled weather and staying on the track it was do-able in a day wearing army boots, combats, sun hat and gaiters with waterproofs, spare socks and more layers staying in the rucksack with the packed lunch and spare water. Absolutely stunning.

@ScottishMunroJourney 7 месяцев назад

It really is a stunning area.. one I will definitely visit again soon 😁🏔

@richardmichael1445 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your adventure.

@kevinmclean4603 6 месяцев назад

Really enjoying your videos this is my first full year in retirement and looking forward to more time on the hills and your videos inspire me

@kennycunn1 Год назад

I look forward to your videos like a good series on tv that you can't wait for the next episode which says a lot about your professionalism. The best you tube film of Knoydart I have watched so far. A fantastic area that I have still to visit with some good tips I'll take on board when I do. I paused the video when you said your tent was gone with a few expletives but was glad when it had only been moved by some lovely people. Well done on making the call to turn back that wind was mental but great for an excuse to return to this area again. Keep up the great work and hope to meet you on the hills one day.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Kenneth, it was a tough trip but came with plenty of rewards 😁 I will be back soon thats for sure! Maybe see you on a Munro some day 😁🏔 Cheers, James

@yerjokin Год назад

Cracking adventure mate! Shame about ur tent but great to hear there are people out there that had the kindness of heart to pack away ur broken tent 😍 Ladhar will get bagged next time ur there for sure👍🏻

@jamesabbott8778 Год назад

My Hubba Hubba was destroyed on North Uist, they are just not build for any kind of wind mate! Once again cracking video!

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks James, I’m going to give it a second chance but my confidence has been lost in it.. I would love to summit camp but considering it goes destroyed at sea level isn’t great 😂 Cheers, James

@jamesss1953 Год назад

A good few years ago (and a tad younger 🙊) a big group of us minibused it into the area; cannot remember where we were dropped off. About 15 ish of us. I remember catching the ferry at Inverie over to Mallaig at the Finnish. You quickly brought back good memories too. Good stuff and I've subscribed and 👍'd

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks James 😁 hope it brought back some good memories Cheers, James

@jamesbell6889 Год назад

Awesome scenes and a fab trip. I would have been disappointed not hitting the final summit too, but you'll be back. Outstanding views will more than make up for that disappointment. Next time 😁. Can't believe your tent pole snapped as well, must have been a flawed pole. Glad MSR are sorting it though.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Knoydart was amazing, can’t wait to return already 😁 bit gutted about the tent but hopefully when I get it back it holds up! Cheers, James

@peterbudd44 Год назад

Really good video , one of the best .Brilliant location , the silence must have been deafening at times , glad you had such good weather , maybe you need a hat ? ... Thanks.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Peter - your right about the silence! It was fantastic.. a hat is a good idea 😂 Cheers, James

@ewanmcintyre7909 Год назад

Fantastic video bud, absolutely stunning... correct call too, took nothing away from this brilliant vlog! 👍

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Ewan 😃

@tenorclef4090 Год назад

Whoa, that wind was insane! You definitely made the right decision.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

It had to be done, even though I really wanted to get to the top 😂

@adamlea6339 Год назад

Fantastic footage. I've always wanted to climb some of the Knoydart munros and corbetts. I have hiked through that area from Inverie to KInloch Hourn but never made it to any of the summits. I can appreciate why you turned back on Ladhar Bheinn. Last year I got to the summit tor of Ben Avon but didn't bag the munro because I didn't climb the summit tor because it was very gusty and I didn't fancy being blown off it (I am susceptible to buffeting by the wind), so I decided safety was more important than ticking off a summit.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Adam, its a great area.. you will feel my pain then 😂 safety always come first Cheers, James

@nilesdelta8636 Год назад

Great vid mate . August is the best monthup there except for the midges ! July was wet one year but august was bone dry I was lucky that year.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Yes midges is the big issue at that time 😂

@natalieminnis Год назад

Absolutely beautiful views! And quite an adventure. Definitely the right decision to turn back though, especially in view of the damage the wind did to the tent pole at sea level! And it's not the worst area to have to come back to, one that I have yet to visit. I've turned back within 200m of summits due to strong wind three times, and never regretted it.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Its a great place 😁🏔 it was just unexpected how windy it was, like you say - I don’t regret turning back though! Cheers, James

@jimross5806 Год назад

An exceptionally wise move not to do the peak on LadharBheinn. I probably would’ve taken the risk but, I’m a bit of an idiot TBH. Brilliant video, as always, well done.

@martinhighcock7551 Год назад

Hi James! I have enjoyed watching all your videos and following your progress to date; you put together very impressive and enjoyable videos. This one was particularly timely, as after many years of daydreaming I am hoping to do something very similar in May (weather permitting). I have always been impressed that you have a very mature head on young shoulders (perhaps with me it is the other way round !?). You seemed to have learned very quickly how to value and treasure life’s experiences. I wish you well and look forward to more videos, including ‘Ladhar Bheinn - the return’: surely no bad thing?!😁👍🥾

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Martin, hope you get your trip in May 😁🏔 haha I am probably a bit ahead of my years 😂 Your right - a Ladhar Bheinn return will be on the cards 😁 Cheers, James

@johnarmstrong4015 Год назад

Great video James, big days and big hills. On my first visit to Knoydart, I did the same route as you, (thirty-odd years ago) managing to do the 3 hills- but since then I have gone back and back and enjoyed/explored the place slowly. I am sure you'll go back in the future. many thanks for sharing. ATB

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks John, fantastic 😁 I look forward to returning for Ladhar Bheinn, im sure I will do corbetts etc in the future too.. Cheers, James

@kisilvan Год назад

It's a stunning place right enough. Well done. Don't know when it was you did these but we were staying at Kintail area end of last week to do some of the Kintail peaks and Saturday we sat looking over from Sleat to Ladhar Bheinn thinking one day we'll head out that way. We decided not to do any climbing on that day as the wind was getting wild. Beautiful filming thank you.

@johnmcbrien6324 Год назад

Really good video there..Knoydart is such a beautiful place, my favourite..it's a shame about not reaching the summit of larven, you were actually closer to the summit than you thought, but you made the right decision & it means you'll to return to finish, so another Knoydart adventure isn't such a bad thing, glad your getting your tent repaired by msr too..all the best

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks John 😁 cant wait to return already.. still waiting on my tent so hopefully will get it back soon! Cheers, James

@thetattooedangler Год назад

Well done for turning back. It breaks my heart when I read about a hiker or climber who pushed on when maybe they should have been more pragmatic and put thier own safety first. I've turned people back the way they came a few times myself in the past, and have come up against the 'HAHA! I'm from *insert country here* We are tougher than you it seems! attitude, only to read that a body has been found a few days later. The mountain will still be there next year, so have another go.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks - like you say, I can always return to do it another time 😁 with no signal & being alone it was a no brainer.. Cheers, James

@richardpegg9265 Год назад

superb trip - you'll only remember the good things in a short while. well done for bunking out of the peak - i did the same a while back although it was a bit more wintery. if you get the chance - and the weather window - try to chuck an extra couple of days in - it's a remarkable area to just wander around in - but you know that. thanks for putting these up, i never film, only take a few photos - so its so nice to have these as wonderful reminders. thanks once again and lovely job - looking forward to your Skye adventure - i shall be there in or around June, so will keep my eyes open up on the ridge - you never know.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Richard, I will definitely be back soon & will probably take a more ‘relaxed’ trip 😂 I might bump into you on Skye then! Cheers, James

@grahamhutton3129 Год назад

Absolutely superb video James. Stunning scenery every way you look, unbelievable. What amazing weather to, for Scotland in April. You must be super fit to be able to walk 50km over 3 days in that terrain. Hope you got some great photography too.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Graham, it was a great trip! Got super lucky with weather (except the wind!) .. cheers, James

@ConceptCarMusic Год назад

Sorry for the setbacks you experienced on this trip, but at least you got a couple of Munros bagged and still had the amazing views. Needless to say, you made the right choice and you can always return another day. Great video and consider your channel subscribed 🙂

@Martycycleman Год назад

Great videos and you made it bak safe, so we can have more stunning photoes. Get yourself a Hilleberge tent you wouldn't have any problems. Thanks for posting.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Marty 😁 might be looking at new tents soon!

@colinbell9928 Год назад

Fabulous video James. What a place. Still to get there on my round but hopefully this year. And 100% the right call - as you said, it's not all about getting to the top.

@mikemcnulty6029 Год назад

another incredible film James...the ups and downs of hillwalking for sure...you made the right decision not to risk a ridge on your own...I did the same last week up Drumochter when I did one hill then decided a mixture of wind, bog and the call of a pint in the pub made it an easy decision!

@GHnineteensixtysix Год назад

Only discovered your channel yesterday and tbh it's one of the best I've ever come across on RU-vid. I'm 23, but when I was between 10 and 14 I was obsessed with Munro-bagging when I was on holiday with family in the highlands and used to beg my parents to climb mountains there. We used to stay in Spean Bridge, near Fort William and in the B&B there would've been a book on all the Munros. Thanks to you I have vowed to get back into my passion of Munro-bagging now that I have finished university. Getting to Scotland from where I now live will be a challenge, but where there's a will there's a way.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thank you - that is fantastic. Im glad you have chosen to start Munro Bagging again, I’m sure you won’t regret it 😁 Enjoy your journey, Cheers, James

@anniemack4282 Год назад

Good decision. And having to return to Knoydart is no hardship in my opinion. Really glad the tent disappearance was due to kindness and not malevolence.....I'd be gutted if it had been nicked. What a record you are going to have of your round. You are excellent photographer. Thanks again for sharing it.

Loved the video James! The fact you rated it 9.9 despite some disappointments speaks volumes. Your video is well worth a 10 anyway and it was always the right decision to weigh up the risks and decide to leave it for another time. Superb presentation -John

@martinoberstein8431 11 месяцев назад

In my opinion you made a wise decision, James. So there’s a chance to enjoy some more of your adventures. The storm sounded terrifying,in deed.

@merkyw4187 Год назад

Absolutely fantastic, what a place, what an adventure, I can't wait to follow those footsteps... stunning country Scotland is James. M ☘️

I’ve watched Cape Wrath trail guys walking the opposite direction and always fancied the long trek . Having only done from Arkaig to Inverie in the past . I pass the road end at Loch Garry a few times a year and see the sign 26 miles to Kinloch Hourn ? Fair play to you , great video

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Yeah its a fair old drive to Kinloch Hourn 😂 well worth it though, and the walk in is stunning.. hopefully you do it one day! Cheers, James

Fantasic video - well done. I love Knoydart - my profile picture is from the campsite at Inverie

@ScottishMunroJourney 6 месяцев назад

Thank you - its some place!

@dizzydeckdog6688 Год назад

Good man James. I love watching your videos. Thanks to your mature decision making we can carry on watching more!

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thank you 😄 it was a tough decision for sure but think it was the right one, Cheers, James

@oswaldalexander253 Год назад

Beautiful Knoydart, great scenery, great adventure, a bit of disappointment but safety first, cheers.

@chrisyates6549 Год назад

Wow wow wow that looked amazing and yes not all targets reached, but it takes a wise man to walk away to fight another day. Stunning scenery I don't have words I hope to get there myself one day your journey so far is an inspiration 👏👏👏

Great decision, the ridge gets extremely narrow towards the top and would have been really dodgy. We looked back from near the summit and thought a Labrador was sat on the ridge not far behind us. It looked at us then just hopped off, a Golden Eagle in fact. We used to canoe down the Loch, some absolutely unforgettable trips.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

That must have been an amazing sight! I am glad I turned back that day - buzzing to return already though 😁 Cheers, James

@masodimontagna3771 Год назад

Thank you - looking forward to returning already 😁🏔

Wonderful, wonderful video James, what a three days you had, just stunning views. It’s a pity you didn’t make it to Ladhar Beinne, but your safety is the most important thing. The mountains will always be there. What lovely people the hiking community are, such a nice thing to do. Thanks for sharing your adventure as always mate. Cheers Dave. 😀🥾⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@fr4nk70 Год назад

Epic video James, absolutely the correct decision to turn back, those conditions looked very dangerous in that remote wonderland bud. Take care, look forward to you bagging Ladhar Bheinn in the future ⛰️ 👍

@scottruston9046 Год назад

I want to add my thanks to you for making these videos and enriching my life with your exploration. Your calm manner and enthusiasm for the amazing landscape of Scotland is greatly appreciated. Thankyou!

I have the exact same MSR Hubba Hubba and my tent snapped in the wind when I used it in the cairngorms just like yours did, and like you MSR repaired/replaced the broken items. Still a cracking tent just not the strongest in high winds

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Ah thats crazy - I will be more careful where I pitch it next time.. I seems a fantastic tent otherwise! Cheers, James

@Moffatmountainadventures Год назад

Absolutely gutted for you James. What a long way to come to miss the top. That wouldn’t have been around April 19th by any chance? I was up Ben Lomond Ptarmigan path that day and the winds where unreal. Also, I’m big on my camping and for every person that raves about an MSR, you see these tent pole snaps way too often. Atb from Robert at Moffat mountain adventures

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

This was the same day! Wed 19th April, strange because it wasn’t forecast for strong winds.. still unsure on MSR but will give it one more chance 😁 Cheers, James

@martinoberstein8431 11 месяцев назад

Exceptional adventure, fantastic scenery! Thank you ever so much for sharing these impressions, James!

@stuatk3926 Год назад

Absolutely epic hike , stunning scenery and 100% the right decision to leave the last till another time 👏👏👏👌🏻

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Looking forward to returning already 😄🏔

@majornova8357 Год назад

superb video, you done the right thing.

@SummitAboutScotland Год назад

What an adventure James wow mate. You def made the right decision to turn back in that wind and as u said easy excuse to return. Stay safe cheers Rob Ps bet the sun tan is cracking 😂🌞

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Rob it was some trip 😁 haha you will be able to see the suntan at the start of my video on Ben Starav 😂 Cheers, James

@SummitAboutScotland Год назад

@Scottish Munro Journey 🤣 I've watched the vid mate and was first thing I noticed 😅 Had a wee chuckle . Good luck in Skye mate can't wait to see how you get on👍

@bruces6893 Год назад

Great video again James and I think most of us that hike the Scottish mountains have had to turn back at some point on our travels.

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Bruce, definitely.. these things happen 😁

@GregorCopland-to7rk Год назад

Another great video in a great series. Although for you personally it must have been a disappointment, it was still interesting to see the reality of 'failing' to reach a summit. All your viewers will tell you that you made the right choice. Knoydart on your own is no place for taking unnecessary risks. Plus you get the chance to return, this time without the seven mile walk in each direction!

@Northern_Rockhopper Год назад

Ah mate, I didn’t know you had a RU-vid channel been following you on insta for ages. Haha. Great video this mate, had my first trip to Scotland a couple of weeks ago and didn’t really have a plan of where to go, wish I’d have seen these videos beforehand, really good for ideas and planning where to go. New sub. Atb mate Rick

@ScottishMunroJourney Год назад

Thanks Rick 😁 hope the vids help for some planning for you.. Cheers, James
