  • Torridon - The Other Side
    A grand day out on a very seep mountain in Torridon. Going in from The Beinn Eighe nature reserve gave me a different perspective of Torridon and especially Beinn Eighe. A fantastic hike but not one for those who don't like steep unstable slopes!! Note - I may refer to the summit of Spidean Coire nan Clach as Ruadh Stac Mor (on more than one occasion - my bad! doh!)

    Cracking Murray! Steeper than what I'd thought it would be, but looks like you could get a cheeky summit camp on the grassy patch. Got all those Corbetts on my radar, particularly Flowerdale ones.

    • @ScotlandsMountains

      Thanks Murray. And if you don't mind my asking, which action camera are you using? Your footage is much sharper and with less vibration than I can get on my old GoPro Hero 2 which I'm looking to replace.
      Oh, and if anyone else is reading this....ticks are still about in the countryside. Just taken a dead one off Meg, my border collie after our walk on Arran on Friday

    • @ScotlandsMountains
      @ScotlandsMountains  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ian Tupman hi Ian - I have a GoPro 6 - stabilisation and sharpness much better than my older GoPro 3- there will be a new GoPro 8 coming soon though which will probably be best one yet 👍

    Just wanted to say thank you for the films. They are so useful for planning and finding new areas to explore. I do a lot of mountain biking and it’s so great to see the landscapes you travel through from that perspective.
    Unfortunately I live near Penzance so don’t get up as much as I’d like. It was a 14hr drive to Torridon for us when we came up in May!
    So, thanks again for the fantastic content. 😀😀😀😀

    • @ScotlandsMountains
      @ScotlandsMountains  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ah - that is a long drive!!! I was in Torridon recently (new vlog coming at some point) and it still takes me 3-4 hours from Perthshire, but 14hrs is a tad longer.... Always worth it though when you get to Torridon, such a magical place :)

    This really is a brilliant video. It's videos like these which are inspiring me to go to places few people visit. I'm heading for Fuar Tholl and Sgorr Ruadh to do a bothy stay in February - a couple of nice winter mountaineering adventures. Before then though, I may try find somewhere even more desolate. Suggestions would be most welcome.

    Just bumped into this video ~ it’s on my doorstep (so to speak) and generally don’t do that well in some of my attempts at altitude these days 😢. I tend to do low ish level walks. Looking at the rocky trail near the top is out of my safety abilities 😢. Well done though …. I’ve just subscribed and liked…
    You did mention (especially on way down) that it wasn’t your planned decent and looked treacherous ¿ accidents can happen to anyone so I go by the saying “plan my walk and walk my plan “

    Looks very nice. How far is the hike? (I suffer from a dodgy knee which makes longer hikes/steep descents problematic). It's years since I've done some proper Scottish hikes (too many miserable midge experiences put me off, and France is much closer), but I really should get back - as you just showed, it can be glorious.

    • @ScotlandsMountains
