This Mountain BROKE Me
มุมมอง 1.6K16 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
And... I am now half-way to COMPLEATING the MUNRO's. 141 Down... 141 To Go! These two Munros give one of the more challenging outings for baggers in this part of the Highlands, requiring experience as it crosses some potentially difficult pathless terrain. Creag Mhòr is steep and craggy on the ascent with much character; Beinn Heasgarnich is a fine viewpoint but has a tricky descent with vast a...
This Mountain Is The REAL DEAL

A sprawling mountain with excellent views. This is the REAL DEAL. Nestled in the heart of Scotland's Northwest Highlands, Moruisg rises to 928 meters, and offers hikers a majestic vista of the rugged landscape. As you ascend its steep, heather-clad slopes from Glen Carron, the path transforms from a boggy scramble to a serene ridge walk, culminating in a broad, flat summit adorned with ancient ...
The Best Viewpoint in Lochaber? Stob Coire Easain and Stob a'Choire Mheadhoin
มุมมอง 37121 วันที่ผ่านมา
Is this the best viewpoint in Lochaber? This fine pair of Munros - commonly known as the Easains - give a fairly long ridgewalk high above the glacial trough of Loch Treig. Stob Coire Easain in particular is a fine peak and offers superb views; it is quite hidden away behind other summits from most roads which perhaps explains why it isn't better known.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Nothing worse than trudging through bog... only to be confronted by heather bashing just when you think the hard bits done 😱 Pizza all the way for us, not sure what all the concern about having pizza two nights in a row was all about 😂 atb K & R
Another two boggy Munro’s well done 👏 your so cheerful about walking though bogs 🤩. Fish and chips for us. Thank you for sharing your day 🤗
Well, Callum , my food of choice after a hike is a can of beef stew and biscuits with lots of butter. and a big cup of nice strong coffee. Dwayne
A pub in Yorkshire, after a long walk over the moors - 12km or so. Into the pub, and they asked Do you want some food? Yes. There was no menu. You got pie and mushy peas. That rang the bells perfectly.
Really enjoyed that one callum. Forgot to comment on your last one. Been a shame you’ve had big after bog hikes lately. Still a nice wee entertaining video bud
Nice one guys. I have climbed these but I dont remember them. ATB.! Bet you enjoyed Two cups of tea in a row.!
@@LarryBees you’ve probably regressed the trauma from that day…. But aye… cups of good tea make even the hardest hills enjoyable :) thanks for watching pal :)
Well done oan halfway Calum. 👏 Aye tough hills them. I split them up with a wild camp.
Cheers Kev!
Well done on getting to the half way mark Calum. Great video - I did these two a few weeks ago and the ascent up to Beinn Heasgarnich almost ended me! Got the bogfest at the bottom during a hot spell so it was fairly forgiving. Good luck with the next 141 - upwards and onwards to compleation!
Thanks so much Mike. Awwww.. that ascent from the bealach to Heasgarnich will stay with me for all the wrong reasons haha! I think we timed the bog just right too, as some of it was dried out, whilst other bits were soggy. Cheers again fella!
Well done bog trotting is an occupational hazard if you hill walk in U.K. lol😂 nice video cheers
@@andrewkingdom it sure is. Thanks for watching pal :)
Loved this, I’m new to your videos, but I’m hiking Munro’s. Where is it you park for the back?
@@laurasanderson8639 thanks so much pal. I wish you the best of times on your Munro and mountain adventures. For the brack, if you follow the Walk Highlands recommendation… the parking is just off the A83 at the old Ardgarten Visitor Centre
Beinn Heasgarnich is now Beinn Sheasgarnaich according to latest online map.
@@GCStalker is that right? I never even noticed. Thanks for letting me know pal :)
Absolutely well done mate. Well done on the half way mark. I hope I get their one day. Am only sitting at 38 at the moment. I seen your post on Facebook on the I am bagging munro group. You speak so well to the camera. I wish I could speak so well lol. I usually do a silent hike and play some music on my videos. Well done. ATVB Alan
@@MyScottishAdventures you are very kind Sir and I really appreciate it. You’ll get there… it’s taken me the best part of 15 years to get to half way. But what a journey it has been. Keep on plodding on!!
Great effort men! Looked relentless at times! Well done for reaching half way in your bagging journey!
@@scottishtrails thanks so much pal :) it was relentless…. But totally worth it. What an experience!
@@calumpaterson123 was it as boggy as you had thought beforehand?
@@scottishtrails honestly… there was a lot of bog, but you can pick your way through if you are sensible. It’s consistently long… that’s the kicker, and that took me by surprise
Hawfwayhoose done🥵
The weather this year hasn't helped with these boggy pathless trudges.
Thanks so much Alistair... What a feeling it is to be over the half-way mark.
@@calumpaterson123 it's all downhill now Callum, so to speak.😉
@@alistairthow1384 Totally agree. It's a good thing I'm not disheartened by a boggy pathless mountain, because I think it's only going to get worse haha!
well congratulations Calum on getting halfway. that was a really nice hike with some great views. the Scottish countryside is just so beautiful. Dwayne
Thanks so much Dwayne. We are blessed with a magnificent landscape.
Great effort. I did them a couple of years ago on a day when the weather completely closed in. Navigation was really tricky, although the clouds lifted in time for us to see the second Munro from the bealach and realise how horribly steep and long it looked. Met some nice people and spent the day with them, so that was a consolation, but it was a massive day out. Great part of the country though. Well played. Best wishes Murdo
Cheers Murdo. Aye, massive day indeed. I'm super chuffed with myself thinking about it now, but at the time, it was painful. What a priviledge eh! Thanks for watching :)
Did these a few weekends ago Callum. Total bogfest 🙈😂
Aye, they aren't the most pleasant pair. I don't know about you, but the sense of achievement afterwards was something else. I feel like after scaling these two I can do anything! 🤣🤣
@@calumpaterson123 haha!!! Agreed. Good luck on reaching half way also. Amazing achievement 👍🏻
@@delboyg2690 Cheers again!
Having a Wispa Gold and tuning in 🙌🏾
WOOP! Wispa Gold = Top Tier chocolate bar!
Great video again Calum. It was worth it!Congrats on reaching halfway and on completing that tough challenge. I like your choices of music. Some of it will feature in films on my channel that I’ve finished but not uploaded yet. Not copying, honest!
Cheers pal :) upon reflection, it was total worth it and I do feel awesome about having bagged these two, and reaching half way. We need tough challenges in order to grow don't we. Thanks again for watching, and I look forward to seeing how you use the music :)
well done, happy halfway. that looks like it would have been a bugger in a whiteout - so at least you got the views. atb
It would have been most unpleasant in a white-out. It wasn't too difficult to navigate to be fair, and I was very happy when the sun eventually did break through. Thanks for watching :)
Was just thinking, great I feel like iv recovered .... suddenly my knees feeling like Fluber 🤔 huh weird ! Happy half way !!! 🎉 let's go !!
Cheers pal :) What a feeling it is to be half-way. I've just about recovered now, and I can reflect on a what a privilege it is to be able to do what I do.
A half way point to remember. Nice one. Hope you're back in the land of the unbroken now!
Just about recovered aye... I definitely won't forget these two in a hurry. Thanks for watching 😁
Another great video Calum ,thanks for posting 👍
Great effort Calum, we attempted this on Saturday morning, summited An Gearanach then decided to turn back as the weather was awful, strong gusts, rain and cloud 😂, whole point of doing the route was to view the ridge. Always Next time. Planning again for September hopefully! Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Nipped over from the FB group, brilliant video mate!
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words :)
Nice one, again. Great dog. 😊
Wee RHU is the star of the video for sure. Thanks so much for watching pal :)
Calum I love your videos, I’m not a mountain climber but my boyfriend is and we so enjoy watching you. No matter the conditions, you’re always smiling 😁 I hope Harry Gow gives you a years supply of dream rings for the last video 😂👌🏻
Seonaid, you are very kind. I really appreciate you saying that, and for watching my videos. How can you not smile when in the Scottish Mountains? We have some magical landscapes. Have you not been tempted to get out into the hills with your boyfriend? And... If you want to email HARRY GOW's and ask them to sponsor me, then that would be grand with me, HA!
@@calumpaterson123 Calum, Ben has some choice words about when a smile might vanish, polite translation is….when the rain is running down your butt cheeks and the view is non existent 😂 I fear to say, I think I may be forced up a mountain in the near future….i can’t promise there will be a smile on my face 😂 and I most certainly will email Harry Gow 👌🏻
Good stuff Calum. 1:14 haha, oof, right at the start of the walk too. Squelchy day out. Got some waterproof socks recently, but not fallen in any bogs yet to test them out.
I like to avoid bogs personally, but sometimes you cannot help it. Luckily Alan dried out by the time we got the summit. Thanks for watching :)
The Ronnie is the finest of the 2. 😎👌
Couldn't agree more Kev. Cheers for watching pal... hopefully catch up with you in the hills someday.
Epic shots Calum! Congrats on reaching the summit mate
You are too kind, thanks so much for watching! Have you had any exciting adventures of late?
Looks like a great day
It really was a great day, we had loads of fun. It is lovely to share these adventures with some good people! Thanks for watching :)
Envy. One happy dog as well. Won't need a walk later.
Wee RHU could've kept going for hours... when we got home he was still keen to play with the ball in the garden, while the rest of us were all burst, HA!
Great video 👍🙂
Thanks so much my friend :)
Thank you and well done 👏 it’s good know about the bog for future reference, 🥾🏴
Cheers Janice! Yeah, I read lots of reports that the bog was bad... and while it is HORRENDOUS, it's reasonably short lived. Thanks for watching :)
When I did this round years ago the second hill was indeed a Munro. If it hadn’t been we might have missed it out, silly purists that we were. The Corbett is in my view the better of the two hills. I don’t remember the bog funnily enough, just that steep direct climb up Coruisk in the clag. Fortunately the skies cleared at the top and the walk on to the Corbett was great. Once again you’ve managed to rekindled great memories so thanks.
I would agree... I think the Corbett is the better hill too. I'm so delighted that were able to relive some nice memories. Thanks for watching :)
First 😆 Thanks for the video, ATB, Angus
Thanks for stopping by and watching Angus! ATB x
Amazing inversion, going to hopefully get these two tomorrow morning and that's the Lawers range done
I hope you have a lovely day Alistair :) thanks for watching
@@calumpaterson123 done along with An stuc, tough day out when fitness isn't quite there 😅
Great video, just wondering roughly how long it took you? I do most of my walks with my 10 yr old labrador but he's starting to struggle with very long treks!
It was about 6 hours in total, and that included all the filming and farting about at the summits. Thanks so much for watching :)
That's a fancy tea. Your defo a connoisseur. 😉☕🍵 A fine viewpoint indeed from they hills. Pity I saw zilch. I'll need to return.
Haha... not sure about connoisseur, but I do enjoy a good cuppa. Thanks so much Kev.
This is an amazing video. I’m looking to climb this as my first big one. I’m not the most experienced but defo have some. Also gonna train in Scotland before lol
Thanks so much pal. I hope you have an amazing time when you go to Nepal :)

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. 👍19
you are very kind, thanks so much :)
well, Calum , i have to agree, those were some amazing views. you are very lucky to live in a place where you can go and see such beautiful sites. I would absolutely love to see those in real life. Dwayne
Thanks so much Dwayne, and thanks for watching. I hope you can see those views too? Any plans to do just that?
well it would be pretty tough since I live in florida. But I am planning to go to the mountains in Georgia this fall. right now all I do is little short hikes in the local state parks. my health as it is won't let me be out in the heat we have here. it's been in the mid 90s for a couple weeks. but I still try to keep as active as I can. Dwayne
Great video Calum, did these 2 on a hot June day , sat at the top for over an hour as i had the hill to myself, some of the best and clearest views i have had on a hill , stunning place
Sounds like you had a cracker Derek. We are truly blessed with such stunning landscapes. Thanks ever so much for watching.
That was brilliant callum, not one of the more popular routes but you could be right with the view there.
Yeah, these two are often overlooked, which is a real shame because its a cracking pair of munros. Thanks so much pal :)
Great video Calum! Glad the cloud stayed high so you got those amazing views.
Thanks so much pal, Yeah we got so lucky with the weather. The weather gods were smiling on us for sure.
Fantastic views as you say. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!
great job mate , done that walk a few weeks ago it was hard going but the views were awesome .
