Hi. Glad the video stirred up some nice memories. Thanks for watching. Yeah, I've seen Danny's videos. He's got great skills. Cheers.

It's such a magnificent viewpoint. I did it last year in full snow conditions too. We were lucky enough to get a big snow storm, followed by a lovely blue sky day. It never seems to last long in the glen with the salty air. I've never used the boat yet, but looks like a great way to approach the hill.

Hi, I think it's just a wee bivy site to shelter from the wind. Cheers.

@@andy-astro Cheers for that! We're visiting Skye next year and may add this hike to our list. :)

Hi, thanks. These are such beautiful mountains. The scrambling isn't as hard as it looks, just some of the exposure in the Cuillins can be overwhelming if not used to it. A guide is always a great idea if at all unsure of the routes, and they can deal with any rope stuff that may be required.

Thanks for watching Robert, glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers. It doesn't take too long to get there, 1-2 hours or so.

Hi, thanks for watching, glad you are enjoying them. I try to keep the videos simple, with just the sights and sounds of nature in first person view. It really helps with the memories of being there. Cheers.

Hi. Yeah, that last climb up to Glamaig is very steep with a lot of scree. There are lots of grassy patches you can stick to on the way up though, to avoid most of the scree. Thankfully it was dry, so the grassy patches were quite grippy.

Hi, thanks for watching. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, with just the sights and sounds of nature. Cheers.

Hello. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. The highlands of Scotland have some beautiful landscapes. Cheers.

Some great hills in the area. Yeah it's a GoPro, superb camera for it's size.

Cheers. Beautiful place to live, love the drive down there too.

Thanks, it was an enjoyable day.

Cheers Ervin.

Cheers. Yeah, I love the morning light, while it's still kinda golden. That is, when I'm able to drag myself out of bed early enough for it.

Oh, didn't know about that. I'm glad I got to see the beach before it disappears.

@@andy-astro Loch a’ Bhealaich Leamhain at the pass is to be dammed, Earba will be the lower reservoir. I’m amazed you haven’t heard of this dismal scheme. ScotGov is 99% guaranteed to approve the plans because they just wave everything through, landscape doesn’t matter to them. Better get up to Loch Fearna (Quoich) next to record that lovely spot for posterity - it’s also potentially on the death list. Have a look at Nick Kempe’s Parkswatch Scotland blog to read all about Earba. You’ll need a stiff drink.

Hi, thanks for watching. I tend to follow the weather, it's usually cloudy but I try to get out hiking when the weather is good.

Cheers Kev. hoping to venture a bit further south this summer.

Yeah, the bike was really helpful on the way back. A mostly pathless walk but great on a day like that, wasn't as boggy as I expected, though that might have been due to the dry weather. Cheers.

Cheers Frank. Yeah, it's a beautiful spot by the loch, and nice timing to catch the sun coming up when I arrived. I thought the ford, where you guys left your bikes, was a lovely spot too.

It's the delta from the rivers coming off the mountains, flowing into Lochan na h-Earba.

Aye, they are nice hills, with great views. Bit rough on the ascent though with all the boulders.

Thanks very much. It's nice to just keep them simple, with the sights and sounds of the hills.

Cheers Andrew. Was nice to catch the sun rising over the loch.

@@andy-astro just a query mate I am backpacking in July to bag a Munro top of Lurg Mhor and may climb either Aonach Buidhe or Faochaig on way back I have watched your video just wondering in your opinion which of these had best views ?

@@andrewkingdom The view down Glen Elchaig on the descent from Aonach Buidhe, near the end of my video, was my favourite from that trip. Not sure what they are like from the Lurg Mhor side.

@@andy-astro cool 😎 I will find out cheers

Cheers.

Thank you.

Cheers Ally. Skye is pretty special, I've lived here my whole life and never get bored of the views. Deffo worth doing all of the easier ones, that don't require a guide, in glorious weather to see them at their best.

Cheers. Awkward ascent over the boulders but worth it for the views.

Cheers Andrew. It's a great wee hike for the views.

I have placed it on my list to do cheers

Cheers Andy. A bit of boulder hopping on the ascent but a great walk after that, with some care needed on that scree part. You can get the car in quite close to the base of the first one, so not too much of a walk out after dropping down from the third hill, though it is mostly pathless at that point.

Cheers Frank. Aye, so many good choices here, especially when I'm too lazy to drive far, or it's cloudy inland. The wind looked a bit harsher yesterday on the mainland too.

Yeah, I think it was a sea eagle. A good place for them to hang out, I think there are lots of rabbit warrens in the area, used to see them a lot along the road from Broadford to Torrin. Beinn Tianavaig is another good spot to see them on Skye.

Cheers Ervin.

Yeah, it's a special place.

Hi, thanks for watching. The Cuillins are beautiful rocky mountains. Definitely scary at times. Cheers.

Cheers Ally. Definitely a great area, and I think I got the last day of sunshine before those storms rolled in. Saw 3 big flocks of geese (I think they were) flying up between the mountains that day.

Cheers. It's a great viewpoint, especially when there's still a bit of snow left.

Hi, thanks. Hopefully you get some great weather for it, it's a lovely hike.

Cheers Mike.

Cheers Frank. I skipped the Corbett last time, so it ended up being a nice excuse to go back and bag it. Yeah the mountains definitely look great with some snow on, good contrast, makes them feel bigger somehow.

Cheers Tom.

Hi Andy. I skipped the Corbett last time I was here too, it was a good excuse to come back. Great weather and views, couldn't ask for more. Cheers.

Hi Andy. I use a GoPro 10 for the video, and a pocket camera for stills, Canon G7X.

Aye, cracking day, perfect temperature for hiking too. Cheers Kev.

Thanks Charlie. Yeah, it was a great day to be on the hills, nice sunny and cool. Your day out on Beinn Eighe looked fantastic. Cheers.

Thanks Steve, I'm glad you are enjoying them. I like watching silent hiking videos too, there's something comforting about just hearing nature, footsteps and wind.

Hi Andrew. I did the same and bypassed the Corbett last time. I was tempted to just do the Corebett on it's own, but decided to continue on to Ciste Dhubh again. Best of luck with Rum, the circuit of the cuillins over there looks fantastic. Cheers.

Thanks.

Cheers Ervin.

Hi Susan. That's my first time in the area, looking forward to doing more. The gopros are amazing these days, really impressed with how good the footage is from such small cameras. Cheers.

@@andy-astro Best of luck with ur adventures in this area! just re-read my comment and noticed i had written Fannichs instead of Fisherfield, 🤦‍♀️, updated now. Have had a gopro last couple of years and records great footage, just not so clued up on getting it onto YT, lol.

@@susanmurchie Thanks Susan. The best way is to learn to use video editing software to cut and order the clips, then add transitions and contrast/colour etc, making sure to set the project to the same settings as your footage (eg. 4k30/4k60). Then upload the finished project file (mp4) using the icon beside the bell at the top right of youtube. Takes a while for youtube to upload and then process the file to the highest quality.
