- This walk from Glen Torridon takes in the two Munros on Beinn Eighe.
A loop walk to Spidean Coire nan Clach and Ruadh-stac Mor before dropping into Coire Mhic Fhearchair for a view of Triple Butress.
A stunning weather day with views to match.
Feels like ages since you’ve been on my Telly Charlie! Fantastic blue sky day! I always enjoy watch these videos after I’ve visited them. Mike does like a climb on those trigs and cairns. Was up here again recently and did some walking on the east end of Beinn Eighe! What a place! Cheers again. Paul
Hi Paul, Yes, I caught your recent visit to the east end and you had a super day. We've been up the east ridge when we had a cottage for a week that was located on the edge of Kinlochewe. It's a cracking route up onto the ridge. Torridon is such a terrific glen for walking the classics.
I hope your plans fall into place for your completion and we'll keep an eye on the uploads as the as you progress the home straight.... 👍 Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 cheers Charlie 👍👍👍
Thanks Charlie, super day, fabulous mountain.
Hi Vanessa, I agree, a terrific glen with classic mountains in magic weather conditions. Cheers
A very long time since Michael and I were there near the start of our rounds, about 1989, I guess and too old to go back now but there are photos on the wall of our bothy in Cumbria and I never look at them without remembering those poor guys who flew into the very top ofthe Triple Buttress all those years ago. Brilliantvideo again. Thanks very much.😊
Hi Geoffrey, Its a chilling thought that the plane was only feet away from missing the buttress and one that has never missed us as you pass through by the lochan. The wreckage will be a constant reminder for years to come. Glad you enjoyed a memory blast from this magic mountain. Cheers
Hi Charlie, hi Mike, absolutely fantastic, what stunning views, you certainly struck gold with the weather on this one. Torridon really is such a beautiful area of the country. Thank you as ever for sharing your days adventure with us, all the very best, Dave 😀🥾⛰🏴🏴
Hi Dave, Yesterday was certainly the day for the tops in the northwest. Torridon is such a terrific area with an abundance of classic mountains, it's easily one of my favourite glens. Cheers
Morning Guys, total envy... what glorious conditions ..absolutely stunning thank you.
Hi Dave, Yes, it was an absolutely cracker. There is no better place in Scotland than Torridon in this condition like this. Many thanks. Cheers
Looks like a beautiful day and what a place. I was in Torridon last summer and walked Liathach and Beinn Alligan before heading out to An Teallach - an absolutely incredible few days. Need to get back up (I'm from South Wales) for Beiin Eighe, Slioch, Fisherfield and all the other spectacular mountains.
Hi Ed, Yes, Torridon is a magical place with some of the best tops in Scotland. When the weather is like this there isn't anything better 👍 Cheers
Brilliant again Charlie & Mike, absolutely stunning conditions and as always you captured it beautifully. Brought back great memories as I got similar conditions. It’s a big day out as Beinn Eighe is massive. Good to see the both of you out again.👍
Well done again Charlie👍

Hi Frank, Yes, we finally managed to hit a weather window for a change. Torridon is a go to location when the weather is settled and allows a great day in about these classic tops. An absolutely stunning day 👍 Cheers
Superb day still to climb these two. Hope to get up there soon. Great to see the route in detail. 👏🏔
Hi Kenny, You'll enjoy this one once you get around to it. Leave for a clear day as it views and overall experience is not to be missed. Cheers
Amazing video - you are an inspiration for me to venture out more.
Hi Tim, Many thanks and really glad you enjoyed your latest outing in Torridon. It doesn't get easier as the years roll by, I certainly know that, but you've just got to get out and hit the targets you set yourself 👍 Cheers
Love your videos Charlie, thanks for sharing your days out with us. Totally inspiring 👍
Hello, Many thanks, glad you enjoyed our latest outing. Cheers
Spectacular!
Hi Trapper, Many thanks, glad you enjoyed watching. Cheers
Absolutely perfect conditions Charlie 🌞 what a day to be on Beinn Eighe 🏔️ the views were amazing, definitely one of my favourites, another great vlog Charlie 👌 atb Brian 👍
Hi Brian, Torridon is certainly a favourite for us particularly in settled weather. We've had plenty soakings there but days like this make it all worth the effort. Take care, Cheers
Thanks for sharing. My local hills, I was walking up the Grudie path from Loch Maree when you were on the tops. lucky you. All the best
Hi John, What a terrific local area you have as a playground. It must be great having the choice of a variety of routes within these classic tops. Cheers
Absolutely brilliant. Last time I was there we had to abandon because it was blowing an absolute hoolie, and didn’t fancy walking the ridge in a gale. Thanks for posting. Look forward to the next one. Bye…
Hi Alistair, Its certainly not quite enjoyable when you're fighting to stay on the ridge. At least you've a great reason for returning for a second visit. Cheers
Absolutely outstanding as per normal guys 👏 fantastic commentary naming all the mountains too yous know your stuff and putting us younger ones to shame 😢 I spent my Easter Sunday at work hating every second of it yous had a better day than me well done and thanks for sharing 👍
Hi David, I remember the feeling when it seemed the best weather was always on a work day.... nae luck 🤣 I'm sure you'll have many good days through the season. Cheers
Coire Mhic Fhearchair, a favourite place. The view across the lochan up to the triple buttresses is breathtaking. Thanks for the video.
Hi Annie, Its certainly a coire that's worth a visit. We battled into it through deep snow a few years back, simply magic, it was like walking in a monochrome landscape. Cheers
Another great film, thank you so much for brining these to us. I've done that route and know it's a tough one. Your both an absolute inspiration. thank you so much.
Hi majornova, You'll know the joys of this route from your own visit 👍 The path back to the road goes on a bit but well worth the effort. Cheers
Hi, Charlie + Mike, What a fantastic clear day you got, these are the days to cherish great for photos! My visit to the Torridon was perhaps my favourite few days in Scotland but I was very relieved to get off Liathach I found those steep drops very nervy, Ben Alligan was a fantastic climb across the horns, I also was lucky enough to have nice clear weather, Great video looking forward to more great days out! Kind regards Mark.
Hi Mark, The Torridon tops are a bit different from your normal Munros. A head for heights does help but all very satisfying once your day is complete. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 Hi Charlie bear in mind with my spelling but those Auchnashelach hills, Is there decent camping spots on route, I would be travelling by train, doing a overnight stay possibly bivi, I managed to get up further north 2 weeks back doing Ben Vrackie, A nice walk with no difficulties I somehow managed to get up and down in 3hrs 56 mins it is great when route back is all down hill! It's back to the Pentlands in 2 weeks I love these wee hills, back to Vrackie soon as no views from summit due to pea soup conditions, your videos and the other TH-camrs keep me in a more positive mind set when things are tuff! The young kid Scottish Summiter reminds so much as a young me fearless and happy with life! Cheers Charlie. Mark.
Brilliant video as always Charlie. What a location in this type of weather! Torridon never fails to impress whether it be Beinn Eighe, Liathach, Beinn Alligin or even Beinn Dearg. The views from any of these tops are hard to beat.
Hi Steve, I agree, Torridon is simply the one of the best glens in Scotland with many classic tops. Cheers
Hi Charlie, great video!! Very much enjoyed watching and look forward to the next one.
Hello, Its terrific you enjoyed of latest outing to this classic area. Many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers
Wonderful clarity in the views and an incredible place. Always seems like you get clear tops in Torridon! Thanks for sharing. Best wishes Murdo
Hi Murdo, Torridon is one of our go to places when the weather forecast is a stick on. The hills are just too spectacular to get around them in poor conditions. I have to say we have had quite a few soakings over the years but it's all good fun. Cheers
Stunning scenes on a glorious day - lucky you(se). Thanks for uploading, Charlie. 🏴🏔👍
Hi nickname, Glad you enjoyed yesterday's outing. It was truly stunning. Cheers
Another great video Charlie. Thankyou for taking us along!
Hi Heather, Many thanks. Just one of those stunning early Spring days 👍 Cheers
Wow brilliant views what great weather Torridon at its best
Hi Andrew, I agree, there is no better place in Scotland. Cheers
Hi Charlie good to see back walking what a fantastic day's walking just a stunning location blessed with good weather just marvellous looking forward to the next video
Hi Philip, We've been pretty active on our local hills through the spells of poor weather but hopefully things will settle and we can focus on the bigger tops. Cheers
Absolutely amazing. Hi Charlie visit k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower
Hi Charlie and Mike - what a superb day in perfect conditions. Thanks for sharing these great views. After watching your 2019 Beinn Eighe video I‘ve done the Beinn Eighe Ridge so far, taking the ascending route for the descend too. I‘ll have to hike there again!
Hi Wolfgang, Yes, a cracking day and most enjoyable. Beinn Eighe is always good for a few visits as it never disappoints. We could do with a few more good days are they a slow it coming around in between the low pressure systems. Take care, Cheers
Brilliant day lads. 👌😎
Hi Kev, Glad you enjoyed it. It was a cracker and worth the effort travelling up. Cheers
That looked a great day out Charlie. Beautiful mountain, and Coire Mhic Fhearchair is stunning. Cheers.
Hi Andy, A terrific day and very similar to your outing in Glen Shiel. Possibly the sun lasted a bit longer further north but it didn't detract from the day. Cheers
Brilliant video as usual. You did have the weather for it, and fantastic views. We did them a few years ago but couldn’t see anything for the low cloud. 👍
Hi Jim, Its a pity you missed the views and the full experience of these tops... you'll just need to schedule a return visit 👍 Cheers
Brilliant what a beautiful sunny day and views lucky you. Excellent job thank you for sharing your video 👏👏🌅🏔️🥾
Hi Mohammad, Really glad you enjoyed our latest outing. The stick on weather in this classic area is truly magical. Thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 you're very welcome Charlie thanks again 🙏🙏
Hey Charlie, Cracking day out with a cracking video, Torridon sure is a great place you and mike had great views, i think in a clear day in low temperature you can see further ? but that's just maybe me guessing, Mike still jumping up on top of the cairns 🙂 just brilliant, all the best James,
Hi James, The air was really clear yesterday, particularly first thing. The low overnight temperatures certainly appear to help reduce the mist. Absolutely stunning place with many classic tops. Cheers
What a fantastic day - compare that to the crowds in the Peak District and Lakes
Hello, The joys of traveling north of the great glen generally results in quieter tops 👍
The road down the glen was busy through the day but we only saw another four walkers on the tops. Happy days... Cheers
Hi Charley. that was a cracking day for it, great views. I did this at the beginning of March with similar weather but less snow. Did you see the plane wreckage? ATB Andy
Hi Andy, Yes, I enjoyed your recent adventure when you were on the east end. We actually rented a cottage a few years ago, just at the start of your route, and enjoyed getting onto the ridge from the east.... just a bit different. I've seen the plane wreckage on previous visits but this time we saw quite a few large parts under water at the east end of the lochan. The aluminium panels still looked pretty fresh.
I'll look forward to catching your adventures through the season. Take care, Cheers.
Good stuff charlie. Have you had a better day on beinn eighe? No throw back pics suggests not?! Gordon
Hi Gordon, This has been our best outing on Beinn Eighe with the air clarity in the first part of the day just superb. Cheers
Always a privilege to be with you both . Thank you. How many left to do ?
Hi Neil, We've no plans to complete another Munro round, simply enjoying locations that are grabbing the best weather. Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 Hi Charlie, so you’ve done them all already?
@@neilcollins5930 Having the good fortune of being able to hill walk for the last 40-45 years, Mike and I have completed 5th & 6th rounds of the Munros. We just get slower and targets get less as the years roll on.... 🤣 Cheers
Is this the start'ish of another round for yourselves?
You're putting us mortals to shame😅
Hi Alistair, Although I'm 100 up for the 7th we certainly have no plans to complete another round. Just enjoying a few classics in stunning conditions before the old knees pack up 🤣 Cheers
@@charliemccartney7055 really impressed with your achievements.
It's been a poor 9 months in Ayrshire.
You have to chase the dry spots to get any views.
@@alistairthow1384 I know the feeling. It's not been the usual winter for us with our availability for getting to the bigger tops never seeming to match the good weather days. We've just had to be content with plenty walking, and soakings, in the locals hills. At least we don't have to drive far 👍
A wonderful video diary of an impressive walk. I followed your route on the 1:25,000 map anticipating the next set of stunning views with each peak you ascended. The weather looked ideal too for such a route with amazing landscapes in all directions. Thanks fort taking us with you win the trip,
Hi Chris, Really glad you enjoyed tagging along on yesterday's outing. Having a map is a great way to view the route and surrounding tops as the wide angle camera tends to capture everything at distance. Cheers
I had to think carefully about identifying some of the landforms because the wide angle camera lens did have me thinking about the distance relationships, especially when you panned to the west with all the lochs and lochans . But it was good fun checking your sun angle and using a compass on the map. I will enjoy following some of your other climbs. @@charliemccartney7055
