Munro - Sgurr nan Gillean on Skye - May 2016. The wrong (scary) route.

[@raymonddownham6674]

Great video, a little gem, very well made, just the right balance of commentary, music, action, stills etc. And best of all, it brings back fond memories of Sgurr nan Gillean. Well Done Mate.

Thanks Raymond, the editing is time consuming but worth it I think.

Beautiful countryside. Thank you for taking the time to post this. I can appreciate the amount of time you put into editing and crafting your videos. The videography and music are beautiful. Very nicely done.
"I think I've earned my lunch now" was the understatement of the week. That seemed a beast of a climb.

[@davidgillies957]

haha Thanks Randy, it wasn't actually difficult apart from the small section where I went the wrong way.

[@MUNROSnCORBETTS]

Fantastic film David! What a climb! At 4:08 that was dodgy! Thanks for sharing this, peter.

[@davidgillies957]

Thanks Peter, the real scary stuff wasn't on film!

[@MUNROSnCORBETTS]

How did you find the descent? Was it tough?

[@davidgillies957]

Relatively easy compared to the wrong way I came up. Still some awkward scrambling but nothing too dangerous, I couldn't have returned by my ascent route.

[@Slademarkable]

Great film David, brings back some very scary memories when I reached the summit by your ascent route in 87, we descended the same way, remember helping may mate to find the footholds on the down climb, never again!!

[@davidgillies957]

Thanks Mark, I'm glad I found the easy route down.

I'm so pleased the mist cleared a little for you. Stunning views... for once on TH-cam the music actually accompanied the footage. Thanks for your efforts, looked precarious!

[@davidgillies957]

Thanks asbpresentations, I do try to match the music to the mood of the trip!

[@frederickmagill9454]

Well done Dave. At least you got back down in one piece. Great camera work and appreciate what goes into it :) Atb Ray.

[@davidgillies957]

Thanks Ray, yes it's time consuming to get the shots but worth it when you get to the editing.
