Cheers Brian aye a wee motor show on the summit would be good if they were going to take all that garbage away from the summit eh? Was perfect Brian cannae beat The Cairngorms in perfect conditions total heaven :) Thanks mate, peter. PS Aye that bench was good well needed!!!
Morning Dave yep the views were great and it was great to be back in my favourite mountain area :) Aye the weather is great too looks to be continuing for the rest of the week :))))
Really enjoyed that Peter. I gotta say that was some kind of line up of Cairngorm Mountains. All the stars were there. Fantastic views. And what a day. No lift down but a nice saunter no doubt. Interesting that about the golf club because Kington Golf course in Herefordshire reaches higher at 391 meters. It's said to be the highest In England but no the UK. Looking at this it may even hold that title. Well, good going - a lovely walk and a long awaited corbett bagged. Mark
Thanks mate! Yeah it was lovely up there it was a hill i wanted to climb for years as i knew it would be a good vantage point to pick out the big ones in the high Cairngorm range. Just checked the golf courses i think im right about the highest one being in Wales(Gwent) im sure i read about it a good few years back, Scotlands highest one is not Braemar either so i assume this title must have been claimed before modern mapping technology was introduced. Thanks for taking time to watch Mark looking forward to your next epic adventure, peter.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS A pleasure Peter. It's good to get them hills in that we've looked at - this was a good one with awesome Cairngorm views. Yes, Kington Golf is higher.
Thanks Bob aye great views from this Corbett i had an idea i there would be and i wasnt wrong :) Really cheered me up this walk ready to hopefully get back at it.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Aye we need cheering up after the lockdown - added this one to my list - hopefully can choose a day with great weather like you did !

Hey Billy cheers mate :) Yeah i mind Carn a' Chlamain well long pounding on the feet that one in fact i went first time on my bike and ended up at the Falls of Tarf and fell asleep lol! The bike certainly helps with that Munro takes a few hours off the time. Thanks Billy all the best big man :)
Good Evening Peter - just spent an EPIC day on Morrone - wall to wall sunshine, a lovely cool breeze - the views are just stunning mate - thank you so much for the heads up - spent an hour and 15 minutes taking photos in all directions at the summit . as you say the views were something else - hope you are well - hoping to do a couple of Munro's in Glenshee at the week end - last Saturday I had a wee warm up walk in the borders - went up the Grey Mare's Tail walk near Moffat up to Loch Skeen and got eaten alive with the midges - But today was an Incredible day with just breathtaking views - So I am so glad I took your advice Peter - all the best Bob
Ah good man!! Glad you walked this hill as you say the views are stunning in all directions it's my favourite part of the world to be honest right in the middle of the Cairngorm range with all the big ones within touching distance :) Hope you have another great day at Glenshee some great walking to be had there also.

Reminds me of the Glencoe ski center munro, that's got lot of vehicles and stuff. Didn't put me off the summit, it was a great view. You can fire off all the names I couldn't name one there. My knowledge is bad but not as bad as Stuart Wanderer. Standing below the buachaille he said that mountain thing. We getting there Peter, another munro, seems an age mate. I should be back in Arrochar in a few weeks. Gorms always great but I always think of it in winter.
Aye Eddie it's just like The Cairnwell a few miles down the road full of scrap metal and heavy wires etc But as you say the views well make up for it especially from that neck of the woods and in good calm conditions. Aye i could just imagine Stuart trying to to tell the mountain rescue his exact location ha ha Thanks for watching mate have a good one in Arrochar, Where you heading for?
Thanks mate :) Loved it really put me in the mood for the hills again if weather is good i will head out next week. I actually felt ok this morning no sore legs or nothing no complaining though lol! How was Ben Vrackie busy as usual?
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS I was fully expecting a busy path, I'm not complaining obviously. I think everyone went to the west coast, I heard Glencoe was totally mobbed.
Nice one Peter. This hill looks awfully familiar to me, I think I might have climbed it when I was younger before I knew what a munro or corbett was 😄 If you wanted to truly bag it though, you would have climbed that tower! 😂 Cheers! Kris.
I was tempted to climb one of they towers years ago Kris and film myself in the process but knowing my luck i would touch a live wire and get a real good view of Highlands lol! Thanks Kris, peter :)
I climbed this one a couple of years ago, but we set off along the motorway track and got the gorgeous views on the way back down. I didn't know the names of most of the Cairngorms though - impressive! Hoping to climb some of them this year.
Had this one on my bucket list from the first time i was up there i had a feeling the views would be good all round. I was debating on staying overnight in my wee tent think i maybe should have but i cant complain from what i got :) I have only 14 Cairngorm's left to bag and im trying to keep them for the next few years but i always end up there and missing out on the tops in the west :)
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS I thought you'd done more Cairngorms. I'm planning a Cairngorms bagging spree as soon as the weather is warm enough to camp. I'm trying to reach 200 Munros... After that I might slow down a wee bit! (I'm on 175 now)
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Sure - did on Friday actually the school house ridge with an extended horseshoe by ballahulish which was quite nice. What is your next tour or do you do just whatever comes across your "leg's"? Stripey

@@MUNROSnCORBETTS i've just googled the 5 cairns and there is a mention that the stones were put there in order to improve the path but,it didn't go ahead.
Many thanks for these brilliant videos. i love the commentary and the great views. On a technical note, what kind of equipment do you use for these great zoom shots? Are they created with a monocular attached to a cellphone camera or something much more sophisticated?
Hi Chris thanks for the comment!! No its just a Sony camera that has 50x zoom (Sony DSC-HX400V Digital Camera) Which seems to go up in price each year for some reason although i must say it is a great camera! Cheers mate, peter.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Much appreciated Peter. You have made my decision for me! I was looking at getting a Nikon DSLR but it is impossible to get stock at present at Amazon or elsewhere. But I can get this wee beauty that you have just mentioned though. So hopefully in a few weeks' time I shall be able to get some nice shots, just like yours. I am thinking of walking up Ben Wyvis very soon. Looks like an easy trail. Happy hiking!
@@VerbalKint74 Your welcome Chris :) I havent bagged Ben Wyvis yet but from what i have sen on YT etc it seems a straight forward ascent/descent. Have a safe one :)
Your no liking they aerials! And you are definitely worth a million pounds and a couple of gallons of beer! That's the first time I have seen a Corbett video with two cars on the top! Busier than braemar main street. I really want to do two of your walks this year Peter... braeriach and friends and the white mounth round. I have watched your videos several times now. So many hills...if you could do either of they two big walks again which one would you recommend? Cheers for another wee entertaining film. All the best mate. Paul .
Na i do not mate horrible messy things. The White Mounth you will canter that no bother Paul honestly mate talking about 7-8 hours tops once you are up to the first Munro Broad Cairn its more or less easy simple walking especially for the first three Munros. The Braeriach round is a different matter a long tough 22 mile walk that will need an overnighter with a tent or a bunk in Corrour Bothy. Two things caught me out up there was the distance between the Munros they look close but in reality they are quite far apart especially the walk over the Plateau from Braeriach to Sgor an Lochain Uaine and there are boulder fields on Cairn Toul up and down which are quite dodgy. Second thing was the walk back through the Lairig Ghru it is also longer than it looks and a rise back up to 835mt around about the Pools of Dee and bear in mind you will still have the Chalamain Gap to put up with too. I started walking back from my tent around 5am and got back to the Sugar Bowl at 11am. I would advise in bagging the Munros first then an overnighter in the Lairig Ghru then the walk back next day.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Brilliant advice Peter. I think it will be the White Mounth first and then the other walk in the summer when there is more light. Plus might need to get someone to join me! I absolutely get from watching your video that the walk is a toughie and those boulder fields look hairy! This summer though! all going well. Thanks for your advice mate...Cheers. Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 Paul i watched a wee bit of The White Mounth Munros vid on my channel for the first time in years cant believe its 5 years ago lol! The film is showing its age a wee bit quality wise looking a bit dated :) From the first Munro you can see the whole route mate literally you will bag them in no time big man :)
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Its an oldie but a goodie! lol. I have two weeks off at the end of May Peter and want to get some bigger walks in. My thoughts are - The white Mounth, Braeriach and co, The Fannichs, Glen Shiel or the ring of steal.......If I can do at least two I will be happy but would like to get three????? Obviously its weather dependant and family dependant.....If you could pick two (or three) of these walks what would you pick in order of brilliantness.....Ha Ha!!!! Paul.
Great video! Couple things though, dunno why you seem so against these masts? The mountain rescue use them for their radios, so they have helped to save countless lives on the Cairngorms! Also few name errors of some of the hills, easy done though, not good to read some of the names! To give you a hand this is how us locals pronounce them, beinn a bhuird is “Ben a’ boord”, it’s Ben Avon not Ben Ann, and it’s cairn of claise not clasha! 👍
Thanks Callum 👍 The masts obviously do have some use especially an important one for the mountain rescue but no one can deny they look a right mess and spoil the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Being a "Weegie" i wont be as fimiliar to the mountain names as your good self but i have two sources for them 1, the Walk Highlands website which is probably the most trusted one you can get and 2, i am friends with a Gaelic speaker who is from Eriskay and he is a good help on these things. But he also told me that from town to town even over short distances Gaelic pronunciations differ very much which was a big surprise to me when he explained. Thanks for the correction mate but i do try ha ha ha! Where you from if you dont mind me asking if it is very local then you are one lucky man👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for watching mate and take care, peter :)))
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS aye I guess your right, I’m just an engineering lover, like seeing all forms of engineering, I’m one of the few who actually likes wind turbines aswell Haha! Aye they do fairly change over short distances, the local dialect up here is Doric and it’s the same, changes massively over short distances! I stay just a half hour down the Dee valley from Braemar, just getting myself back into hillwalking, after giving it up in my late teens, due to getting into cars, then being of age for the pub haha! Your videos are great for helping with seeing the route to take, fairly competent at the map reading, but actually seeing the route helps a great deal! 👍
@@GRAY8618 Ah good man great part of Scotland to live :) Good to see you are getting back into the hills again especially the Cairngorms which in my opinion are the best. Thanks Callum all the best big man, peter :) PS all fot the turbines too but ithink we have enough ones on land better out at sea i would say ;)

To give you a hand this is how us locals pronounce them, beinn a bhuird is “Ben a’ boord”, it’s Ben Avon not Ben Ann, and it’s cairn of claise not clasha! 👍
Thanks Callum 👍 The masts obviously do have some use especially an important one for the mountain rescue but no one can deny they look a right mess and spoil the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Being a "Weegie" i wont be as fimiliar to the mountain names as your good self but i have two sources for them 1, the Walk Highlands website which is probably the most trusted one you can get and 2, i am friends with a Gaelic speaker who is from Eriskay and he is a good help on these things. But he also told me that from town to town even over short distances Gaelic pronunciations differ very much which was a big surprise to me when he explained. Thanks for the correction mate but i do try ha ha ha! Where you from if you dont mind me asking if it is very local then you are one lucky man👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for watching mate and take care, peter :)))
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS aye I guess your right, I’m just an engineering lover, like seeing all forms of engineering, I’m one of the few who actually likes wind turbines aswell Haha! Aye they do fairly change over short distances, the local dialect up here is Doric and it’s the same, changes massively over short distances! I stay just a half hour down the Dee valley from Braemar, just getting myself back into hillwalking, after giving it up in my late teens, due to getting into cars, then being of age for the pub haha! Your videos are great for helping with seeing the route to take, fairly competent at the map reading, but actually seeing the route helps a great deal! 👍
@@GRAY8618 Ah good man great part of Scotland to live :) Good to see you are getting back into the hills again especially the Cairngorms which in my opinion are the best. Thanks Callum all the best big man, peter :) PS all fot the turbines too but ithink we have enough ones on land better out at sea i would say ;)
