Thanks mate! I also thought about including the two T's when i walked the Glas Maol Munros from the Glenshee side but it would have killed me to walk down from Cairn of Claise then back up again i met four guys up from England and they were doing just that and regretting it lol. Thanks for the nice comment ma man and take care, peter :))))
Just wanted to echo the previous comments and say the orange Sainsbury bag is a really nice tribute to Andrew (AKA 'Head For The Hills'). I only discovered his videos 3 days ago and I've been deeply saddened since I read he past away. He came across as such a lovely guy with a unique sense of humour, and to depart at such a young age is just heartbreaking. I guess it means watching the rest of his content is always going to be a bittersweet experience, but I'm certain he'd want us all to continue watching and enjoy his adventures in his absence. Kudos to you, Peter along with everyone else who has paid a wee tribute to Andrew. RIP Hermit Hill.
Hi Fraser. Aye Andy was a gem, Just went out and done his thing his way. And his films were brilliant! Nothing but total respect for the man. Missed but but never ever forgotten!!
Great to see you back on the Munro trail Peter. Bleak and wild country up there, just how I like it too. Always a pleasure to join you on a trip bud. I'm back North in 11 weeks and can't wait. Take care. Mick.
Hey mate great to hear from ye again :) Aye its bleak alright, And i must admit i like it too. Determined to bag as many as possible this year, If only the weather was more like this. But it is Scotland after all lol! Thanks for watching Mick, Always good to hear from you big man, peter :)))
Nice ones Peter !! Great to see you getting up some hills before end of February. I thought your sainsburys bag was a tribute to Andy ,Head for the hills.atb.⛰⛺️
It was Brian. Going to miss that nutter a lot. Great man with a great sense of adventure. What a sad loss. Hope yer keeping well Brian, I hear the weather is going to take a wee turn in the next few days.
I did this walk with a friend 2 years ago in the summer. But we walked down past the loch on our way back. We started walking before 12pm & got back to the car park at 8pm completing a circuit. Legs were so sore the next day but it was worth it
I did consider that very route via Glen/Loch Callater but i fancied one last look at the Glen Doll area as i am finished Munro wise up there. Went for a walk down Glen Callater once a few years ago an i got the worst ever midge attack ever had to jog back to the car it was that bad. But either route as you say is a long slog and i felt it in my legs the next day too plus a long drive back to Glasgow down a dark A-9 dosent help either lol! Thanks for watching Paul and take care mate, peter :)
I did Mayar and Dreish last year in deep snow, a beautiful walk. The path looks so different without the snow! I think these two would be lovely to do in snow too, though the long walk in would make that difficult. What a beautiful area it is.
Hi Natalie, It is a beautiful place. The distance caught me out on this one, A lot longer than i thought it would be. It is indeed beautiful, Very vast wide open spaces. I can only think how it would feel in a howling gale?
Good man the two T's from Glen Doll is a great day out the Angus Glens is one of my favourite places and of course not to mention Jocks Road that is a classic walk itself. Have a safe one mate, peter.
Good video. Was up there today. Davy's Bourach is being rebuilt. One of the walls is collapsing so contractors have removed the roof. Going to be a tricky job
Great video, looks like a cracking route! Glen Clova and Doll are stunning except the crazy pheasants trying to jump under the car haha. Think i'll follow in your footsteps when i head up those two and leave Glen Callater for another day.
Thanks mate. Yeah its stunning up there, Some amazing Munros for bagging. I understand about the pheasants, Dont know how many times ive slammed on the breaks while they just look at you thinking you are stupid LOL!
Brings back memories Glenn Doll our first ever meet up, lovely hike Peter, looks like it would be worth pushing a bike up to cycle down, lovely day for 2 monroe's really enjoyed atb Derek
Thanks mate. Aye its great up there, And it would be a good idea for the bikes. Saw some guys doing that over at Loch Muick, Near Lochnagar. Thank god i have now bagged all the Munros there, It is a vast plateau that requires miles of walking. Cheers Derek, Take care mate.
Good eens Peter . Got beinn dearg ullapool to climb futhest north toying with biking up from inverlael to end of woods camping 2 nights for dearg on its own done all inc tops except dearg. Ghloe later . Cost you about 20 in your new mota ⛰
Hi Peter fantastic to see my old stomping ground I first walked as a 12 year old with Stobswell Boy School. All looks a bit posh now with sign post etc. Met Davie Glenn a few times long before the shelter was built Thanks for the video
Showing yer age a wee bit eh Magnus? Only kidding mate LOL! You know? I once met a man from New Zealand who climbed Cairn Gorm before all the ski stuff was built and he was shocked at how it looked now. He didnt understand why these places cant be left alone. Even though i agree some care and management is needed, He is correct. I would have loved to be doing this in the 50's and 60's.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS showing my age? You are so correct. The trees you walked thro and the ones getting felled on the Kilbo path I recall getting planted and my first assent of Driech was in my school blazer and wellies, I kid you not.
@@magnuswalker7957 I have been reliably informed the trees on the Kilbo path are about 60 years old Magnus(someone counted the rings) I hate tree felling, I know there is a reason for it. But...........
Brilliant mate jocks road is one of my favourite walks ‘ first done it in 1997 then 2015 n 2017 done the first 2 from Glen Doll n 3rd from Braemar ‘ take care Danny 👍🏻
Cheers Danny. I watched your films a while ago to use as a wee guide. I was debating on what route to go, Glen Callater or Glen Doll. I walked up to Loch Callater last july in that mad summer heat and the midges were terrible so i had to turn back to the car. Beautiful place though. Aye its s stunning area up there, The Munros are great. Thanks for watching mate, peter.
As you said,a munro is a munro.not the most spectacular,but a lovely walk in and back out again.it looks vast up there,I imagine I could easily get lost! Nice video as always peter. Thanks. Ken
It is vast Ken, A lot bigger than it looks. Been the cause of many blisters and bad language that area LOL! But it has to be done :) Hope you are well Ken, peter.
I'm keeping well thanks peter.got my shortlist now on where in Scotland I want to go later this year.it might come down to flipping a coin yet..I still can't decide!
We have been watching you for a few years now. Always liked 👍🏼 first time commenting. Always enjoy your vlogs and your straight forward talking 🤣 Glad to see you back out and about fellow hiker. Linda & Mark (N. Lanarkshire)
Hi Linda. Thanks for watching and commenting. My straight forward talking? You should see at what i cut out when i edit, Think i would have been booted off YT ages ago if i didnt LOL! Thank you once again. Peter (S. Lanarkshire) :)
Imagine getting caught out in the mist and clag up there with no paths at all! you really open up the high places of Scotland Peter, this channel has to be one of a few that really probe into the unwelcome/pathless and even at times featureless landscapes that very few tread upon. Credit to you mate, would love to see a map with flags on of all your progress so far Tim/Mandy
Hi Tim. Aye its rough up there alright, Not a place to be taken lightly! It is with some relief i dont have to go back up as i have bagged them all on that plateau, It stretches for miles and miles. Thanks for kind words mate, Take care T&M. peter.
Great stuff Peter, I honestly think you should be taking you tent up some of these hills and sending the night. Some of the views you get are great. Atb Glenn.
Glenn no matter what i do i cant seem to get a decent kip in a tent. I have camped out twice(Ben Lawers and in the Lairigh Ghru) And there has been a few times when i should have summit camped but i keep on putting it off. Obviously in the future i will have not much of a choice, Or get a wee van and convert it. Im not the best of sleepers at the best of times, But in a tent its worse. But i will see how it pans out in the next few months or so. Thanks for watching mate, peter.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Oh! aye, Peter, I think you told me that once before. I don't sleep that great either, probably because I don't really like my Thermarest pad. I'm thinking about buying a Klymit Insulated Static V LITE 4 Season Sleeping Pad. I believe it will be much better.
Magic Peter. The distances up there are deceiving. Did Tolmount from Glen Callatur with the camping gear. Got to the summit and looked over to Buidhe and gave up. Was shattered. Can you leave your car overnight in the carpark? Was thinking of doing Mayer and Driesh with Tom Buidhe with the camping gear later in the year. Great watch as usual pal. Cheers
Hi Scot. Yes you can park overnight, But i would also try and let the warden know as well just to be on the safe side. Very deceiving up there! I was looking up at Cairn of Claise from Tom Buidhe and it looked miles away, It also caught out some English lads i met and they couldnt believe how far it was to walk down from it. They had to leave Glas Maol and Creag Leacach for another day. Good luck with the plan, Hell of a distance that one :) Cheers Scot, peter.
You don`t half push yourself Peter bloody hell I was heavy breathing with you there mate, desolate it was and not a sole in sight for miles which is appealing I know, no where to hide in a tent in fierce wind up there though, how many miles in total do you reckon Peter just out of curiosity and most of it uphill aswell, well done mate, always a good watch, TFS, ATB George.
Hi George hows things? I would say it was about 14-15 miles in total and i sure felt it the next day in work!! The first Munros of the year are always painful. These two Munros are off the beaten track a wee bit, No easy or quick route to get at them. And i sure would not go near them in dodgy conditions, Although Eddie and Sinclair camped very close to them a few years ago. Glad i got them bagged so early in the year, It was a beautiful day from start to finish. Well worth the long drive up from Glasgow, 4-30am back at 8pm LOL!
I was shocked when i heard Andrew had passed away, Very sad news! He was brilliant at what he done, Had total respect from me as he went to some very wild far out places alone. His films were great, And his humour was priceless. Will be very sadly missed!! Thanks Graeme, Take care mate. peter.
Sad news. Only came across andrews vids about 6 months ago, he definitely done some brilliant walks fair play to him I couldn’t do it on my own 1 days enough for me. All the best and take care. Graeme
Thanks for this. Tolmount was my 50th Munnie, but from the Glenshee side, now up to 60.Cheers

Very beautiful forest, great view from that mountains.
