Butifull .sir thankyou kindly for posting this vid.i never actually manadged to get to the very top.my asma kicked in and was running out of water. I scattered my mums ashes about half way to the cobler itself. Thankyou so much for showing the pure beayty and Majestey of this most butifull superb country.godbless you sir.
Bad luck with not reaching the top, I dont have asthma but i know people who do suffer from breathing problems and its quite difficult for them. Great place to remember your Mum :) Take care, peter.
You had great weather for it I'm doing this next week but bet I won't have rhe same weather. I'm getting the train from Devon so don't arrive until 1752 at Arrochar and Tarbert train station so not sure if I will make it past the tree line before dark. How long did it take you to get through the tree line and also how long did it take to get to the cobbler which I think your really brave getting to the top I'm on my own so not sure if I will do that😁👍
Thanks 👍 From memory i had a half day off from work and i think i left they car park at around 2-30pm-ish. From there up the zig-zag path and @1:20 on the film say 3-45pm bear in mind im filming and waiting for people to pass etc. So roughly i would say i got to the summit at 5pm-5-30pm. Regarding your time i would say if you get to Arrochar train station at 5-52pm you are cutting it a wee bit fine lightwise as its a 45 min walk from the station to the main car park for this walk. I would say heading up you should be ok but it will be dark on the way back down something to bear in mind. From my point of view to stay safe and really enjoy it its a wee bit too late but its all on you ma man. Come what may have a good one and stay safe, Thanks for the comment, peter :))))
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Thank you for the reply Peter really appreciated. That's great I should be OK then because I'm camping out so that's great to hear. I'm sorry I was asking about a old video when people ask me about videos from years ago I can't remember what happened 😁👍
@@Intotheoutdoors69 Not at all mate! Im always more than happy to help. Well if you are camping out then thats better 👍 Plenty of time to relax and enjoy the place. Have a safe journey my friend and enjoy, peter :))))
Just love your channel, Peter, I started late to Munro bagging but don't really have the confidence to tackle the ridges, this Needle thread etc. I am 59 and quite happy with my modest collection of 20 Munros but keep up the good work! My favourite view was emerging into the Corrie Fee on the Mayar/Driesh doubler. But wonder what your favourite view is? Is there a mountain you love to return to? Cheers - keep going 👍🏻
Hi Sean cheers mate! 20 Munros is not modest each one is different and has to be climbed carefully up and down and it is 20 more bagged than most so a thumbs up from me Sean :) Aye Corrie Fee and that surrounding area(Angus Glens) is a beautiful vast open wild place for Munro Bagging. My favourite view? So far i would say from the summit of Sgorr Dhearg the first Munro on Beinn a' Bheithir looking over Loch Leven Glen Coe etc and from the summit of Cairn Toul up in the high Cairngorms but bear in mind i still have a lot to climb and see but they two will always be there. I always return to Ben Lomond as it was my first Munro and its only about 1hour drive from Glasgow. Thanks Sean and take care mate, peter.
Nature Calls Thank you very much! Yes i have fond memories of "The Arrochar Alps" Sadly i havent been back there in ages though. Thanks for watching and for the nice comment, peter.
Yep, remember this one as the first one of you i ever saw Peter. Still fully intimidated by your guts climbing that infamous & beautiful piece of rock! I'll have a go at that one only when i'm sure i compleated all of the Munros - just in case ...
Great hike Peter, its one we took the kids up when they were a bit younger, they would only go up a mountain if they could scramble over rocks so we chose the cobbler lol! You got some good weather too and a great scramble to the top, scary stuff Peter not for me that lol! :) Tim
savedpurplecat Hi Tim, Aye it`s scary but i just had to. The weather was great that night, Just as George pointed out i was sweating buckets. Can you mind what year you were there Tim?
Sorry Andy just seen this message. Aye its a peach of a mountain, Lots love heading up there. Would have loved to have sat on the needle a wee bit longer, But i thought the guy who walked past would have kicked my camera over lol!
We have a one night stop at the Arrochar Hotel on our way up to our Cottage in August. Our plan is to to The Cobbler in the afternoon/evening. 😀🏴🏔
Should be a very doable walk even in the afternoon in fact im sure this was a friday afternoon straight from work for me. Just one to watch out for, The car parks for years were £1 all day now the idiots in charge have changed it to a max of £9 a day depending as how long you expect to be hillwalking for which is a total ridiculous question to ask anyone going to the hills. Lots were/are still peed off with this. If possible leave the car at the hotel and just walk round and keep the £'s in the pocket ;)
sneakybagger1 Thanks John everything is ok, But it`s better to sort it out now. I`ve had a few mates on YT who had it done to them and it`s like starting all over again. Cheers John.
I just done this today, though I think I took a different path to you, I ended up in quite a steep scramble ( on wet rock 🙈) I wasn't fortunate enough to get views like that, was a white out 😩 looks great on a nice day 👍
Bad luck my friend, I think i was up there 2 or 3 times in low cloud before i managed to get it on film. Apart from that bloody path i have great memories from up there. Only one Munro left and im done.
Peter it`s nice to know that I`m not the only one that sweats profusely lol, the eye glass was picture perfect mate at 10.46 respect to ya mate for climbing up there many wouldn`t, was the weather really that good in 2012, wouldn`t we have seen this excellent vid Peter if not for the copyright issues, catch 22 me thinks, great viewing mate, Regards George.ps. forgot to ask mate are the midgies only at low level and near water.
WakeyGeorge BusPassCamper. George i went straight from work on a friday night(cant mind why) and i had only one t shirt with me so i had to keep it for going home. So as i had nothing on underneath my hoodie, And with my bag pressing against my back it ended up soaking wet LOL! Weather wise 2012 was not bad, I mind we had 6-7 weeks of constant rain around may-june i think. Midges are everywhere up here George, I even had them at 1126mt up Ben Cruachan! No escape!!!LOL! Thanks for watching George, peter.
Aye its a pain as Glenn say's. I have had a couple of warnings the most threatening was for The Irish Rover by The Dubliners haha. I now use music from computer games which seems a way around the problem. So my next vid I will be bouncing on mushrooms and chucking turtles at people as I stroll along to the Mario Kart theme lol. Anyway it might be a pain but it gives us the chance to watch this cracking video redone Peter, that is some scramble bud and against that lovely sky made for great viewing. Great stuff. Atb. Mick.
Well done! Heading up there this week with my grandson. First time for both of us and this video was very helpful. Many thanks for posting. I won't be doing the needle! How long did it take you up and down? We are getting public transport from Glasgow so it would be handy to know! Cheers Joe
Thank you Joe. I assume you are taking the train to Arrochar? If so it`s about 40-60min walk to the car park where the zig zag path starts, Then i would give it roughly 2hrs 30min to the summit of The Cobbler. Take care, peter.
Many thanks for replying so quickly Peter. We will be getting the bus.....bus passes are another bonus of retirement!!..... but might have to go for train on way home as there is a gap between busses in the late afternoon from 2.30ish till 8!!!! Once again many thanks much appreciated,
Goan yer sel Peter. Aye, ye micht shit yer sel but ye hid tae dae it! Well done bud. Need to get up there sometime and do that. I'll bring an extra pair of Knickers though. What copyrite problems did you have?
Pathfinder; Fergus Films Cheers Sinclair, Aye gie it a bash if ye can mate. I used to have a wee bit of a BBC music score in my earlier vids, And some people on YT told me it can take up to 3 or 4 years for a claim to me made against you. One of the guys im subbed to (Jim Ramsay) Had one last week and his time is now down to 15 min for 6 months. So im just sorting it the now before the inevitable happens. Better to be safe than sorry! Thanks Sinclair im on holiday in Poland at the moment, heading up to the baltic sea in a couple of hours time. Thanks mate, peter.
Thanks so much. I'm writing a fiction story and needed some idea of the rocks in the area. Your film was terrific for a stay-at-home in the U.S. to learn about it.
South-West-Wilderness It is that Glenn, Jim Ramsey who makes great vids had his time cut for 6 months because he uploaded a film about the Red Arrows that was on the BBC. What a crime eh? Cheers Glenn.

That was beautiful. The views just incredible. And to climb that rock, I would have thrown up I think. Great accomplishment.
Nature Calls Thank you very much! Yes i have fond memories of "The Arrochar Alps" Sadly i havent been back there in ages though. Thanks for watching and for the nice comment, peter.
Epic finale! Very well thought out presentation! Warning! Cobbler not happy with you, if you put a foot wrong!
Aye you have to be careful when "threading the needle" as its called, One slip and its hospital nosh for a wee while!
Yep, remember this one as the first one of you i ever saw Peter. Still fully intimidated by your guts climbing that infamous & beautiful piece of rock! I'll have a go at that one only when i'm sure i compleated all of the Munros - just in case ...
Wilco de Jonge HA HA! Good thinking Wilco!

About 2010 I think Peter, we have some friends who live in Dunoon so we use there place as a base
Fantastic mate....just love it
My fav Mountain...(so far).....I have threaded the needle twice....it is an awesome feeling
Sorry Andy just seen this message. Aye its a peach of a mountain, Lots love heading up there. Would have loved to have sat on the needle a wee bit longer, But i thought the guy who walked past would have kicked my camera over lol!
MUNROSnCORBETTS was up today....just back......magnificent day & hike

@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Cheers for the information Peter. Yeah the plan is to walk round the end of the loch from the hotel.
Shame abut the copyright claim Peter, as others have said, it's a real pain! Cracking video though, well worth the re-edit and upload.
sneakybagger1 Thanks John everything is ok, But it`s better to sort it out now. I`ve had a few mates on YT who had it done to them and it`s like starting all over again. Cheers John.

Yeah you did take a different route up, I took the easier path round the back. I havent been back there for ages sadly. Was there any snow up there?
MUNROSnCORBETTS I wish I'd knew about that easier path 🙈 no snow just wind rain and cloud 👍
Bad luck my friend, I think i was up there 2 or 3 times in low cloud before i managed to get it on film. Apart from that bloody path i have great memories from up there. Only one Munro left and im done.
MUNROSnCORBETTS good luck on getting your last one mate 👍
In the Arrochar Alps i mean lol!

***** Have a great time Peter all the best.
May I ask, what are the white patches on the rocks? Lichens or some sort of limestone? Thanks
To me it looks like some types of Moss growth and Lichens too maybe, But to be honest im not very well learned on that subject.
Thanks so much. I'm writing a fiction story and needed some idea of the rocks in the area. Your film was terrific for a stay-at-home in the U.S. to learn about it.
Ah glad to be a help! Good luck with the book Linda, Hope it sells more than JK Rowlings efforts lol!
That would be a miracle! Have a great day sir.
Copyright is a pain Peter. I only use free music now, but I akways leave a credit to whoever actually owns the music.
South-West-Wilderness It is that Glenn, Jim Ramsey who makes great vids had his time cut for 6 months because he uploaded a film about the Red Arrows that was on the BBC. What a crime eh? Cheers Glenn.

Summit fever! Heart attack for viewers!
