- This walk takes in the two Munros Stob Coir'an Albannaich and Meall nan Eun which are located in the middle of the Glen Etive range. The starting point is the same as Ben Starav where we break upwards onto the hill after a short distance. A great weather day with full panoramic views, just doesn't get much better than this.
Keep them coming Charlie, wonderful videos.
Great views and lots of memories. thanks again for sharing ATB
Hi John, Glad you enjoyed our latest outing. Many thanks for viewing. Cheers, Charlie
Wonderful video gents, fantastic views!
Hi Dave, Glad you enjoyed our latest outing, it was a cracker. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
Superb 👏 👏
Hi Barrie, Glad you enjoyed yesterday’s outing. I’d forgotten how well placed these two tops are for big landscape views….. just superb. Cheers, Charlie
Superb, Charlie. The light, the wind, the burn, boots crunching on grit bring it all back. Thanks very much.
Hi Geoffrey, I’d forgotten just how spectacular our first Munro was but the light and clear skies was the icing on the cake. Cheers, Charlie
Hi Charlie, I've been watching your posts here in Sydney for 4 years or so, and now look forward to watching your latest posts more than any other Scottish hillwalking channel. You give a perspective over the landscape that no one else really offers: you take time to pan around which is a blessing for someone like me who is so far away from these mountains. Hopefully I'll be returning to Britain in a few years, but for now, please keep up with your outstanding channel as I'll be waiting for every new episode!
Much love for you and your brother,
Andy B
Hi Andy, Many thanks for your kind comment and I It’s great that you enjoy a bit of Scottish landscape through our channel, particularly when your on the other side of the world. We’ve a few walking plans this year so hopefully many more uploads to come. ATB Charlie.
Must've missed this 10 months ago. 😉 Did these 2 today so watched this last night. That's what I like about your vids Charlie, search a walk on YT & up you pop. Great reference tool. Thought about your approach up towards Stob Coir 'An Albannaich, but took the track up the Glen instead. Prob should've went your way up high with views straight away. Cheers.
Hi Kev, I wish I had YT when I started out as its great seeing the tops just to get an idea. Hope you had a great day and I'll look forward to your upload. Cheers, Charlie
I finished my last Munro in 1996, and now a pensioner just have nothing like your fitness Charlie. However, your videos are outstanding, and in top definition. It is almost if I am there and reliving memories from the past. There must be some award for you and your colleagues for outstanding cinematography. They are free from sensationalism, just a simple down to earth commentary in a video that captures the atmosphere and ambience of this magnificent country.
PS. When I walked the Blackmount (took two days with a bivvy), there were loads of Ravens. Are they still there.
Hi Malcolm, Many thanks for your comments. Its is always our intention to capture the walk and everything associated with the day rather than talk to the camera for extended periods. It then gives the viewer a resource they could refer too for future walks. I'm not sure about the Ravens at the Blackmount as I've not been in that area for a while. I'll be surprised if they aren't still there. Cheers, Charlie.
One of your best gentlemen. Absolutely lovely country you give us some really beautiful panoramic shots . Thanks
Hi Neil, When the weather is like this you just can’t fail. The camera tends to flatten the landscape as the actual views are more dramatic and in your face… just great. Many thanks for watching. Cheers Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 ah you need to take some credit on times . You gents do a great job 👏🏻
What fantastic views, crystal clear skies. A lovely trip round. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Charles, Many thanks for taking the time to view yesterdays outing. It was a cracker as you saw. Cheers, Charlie.
Unbelievable clear day. Superb views as a consequence. Hence a great video. Thanks.
Hi Mike, Yes, a cracking day with all tops on show. Days like this stick in the memory for a long while. Cheers, Charlie.
Fantastic guys. Lovely day, and views all round. Nice to see the summer greens coming through again too. Cheers, Andy.
Hi Andy, It was just great to walk in these conditions. The strong greens are more evident than last month but the wind still has a wee nip in it. Cheers, Charlie
Fab video as always! Great insight...
Hi Debbie, Glad you enjoyed yesterday’s outing. It was a stunner. Cheers, Charlie
Great stuff. Still to do those 2 and will probably arrange to do over next couple of months. 👍
Hi Andrew, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the walk when it comes around. I’d forgotten just how stunning the first Munro was from our previous visit. Cheers, Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks. Yeah deffo looks a good one. 👍
Another great video. We were up there yesterday too, climbing Ben Starav as a single Munro. It was a wonderful day, and during the day became much warmer. It's a glorious place, marred only by lunatic driving on the single track roads. Some people I've met up there have suggested doing the 5 together, which strikes me as a bit longer a day than would be enjoyable. Anyway thanks again.
Murdo (Charlie's Dad)\
Hi Murdo, It was a busy Glen yesterday and the majority appeared to be heading for Starav. We only saw another three walkers all day which is always nice. The road is crazy, we passed thirty+ cars going down the Glen when heading for home with no chance of parking or getting off road. It’s such a honeypot area. Cheers, Charlie
Hi Charlie and Mike how much do you pay the weather gods cracking good day's Walking I did these munros many years ago the weather was boiling and the midges where ferocious but a good day's Walking, I do like how you show a marked route from your days walking, yet again Charlie brilliant to watch always look forward to your video keep them coming 👍 😀 .
Hi Philip, We’ve been fortunate with the weather on our recent outings but we know only to well it wouldn’t last 😂. The midge hasn’t been as bad as normal with the temperature is down but they’ll be back very soon. Many thanks for continuity to view our outings and hopefully we’ll have another walk planned for tomorrow. Cheers, Charlie
We were looking across at you from Stob na Broige on Saturday.
Fantastic weather for our days out don't you think?
Hi Alistair, You’ll know first hand how good it was, hope you had a cracking day 👍. Cheers, Charlie
This brings back memories. Did SCaA have a trig point in 1986? An eagle was on the highest bit as I approached through deep snow. It leapt and clipped the cornice with its wingtips as it departed. On the way to MnE, I glissaded down a rake and carelessly got out on to the slabs you mentioned. They were icy and chipping steps with my walkers axe to get into the next rake down felt like one of the most dangerous situations I have been in on a Munro. A great hill, though.
Hello, Not sure about the dated trig point but there certainly isn’t any evidence of one now. SCaA needs a bit of care in the winter and we had a similar winter experience getting off the hill down to the col with the snow being a bit more vertical for comfort. Happy days… Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
How did the impact of the hydro schemes have on the landscape in your opinion & on the existing paths ?
Hi Andrew, things will be better once the work is finished and the pipes are below ground. Obviously, the new tracks and water intakes are permanent and will fade. Walkers will probably enjoy the track option at either end of the walk as it cuts out the bog that we have normally. Cheers, Charlie
Brilliant Charlie i dont think you could have got better views if you tried.
Hi Peter, It was just one of those days when it all came together and the location was perfect for full 360’ views. Superb…. Cheers, Charlie
What a fantastic day Charlie, the views were amazing and top class footage, there the only 2 I have left to do in that area, so your vid gave me a good insight.

Frank 👍🏔🥾
Hi Frank, they are a nice pair and sit in a great location. It makes a difference when the weather is so settled and the views stunning. You’ll enjoy them when they come around. Cheers, Charlie
Hi Guys, cracking day to be out and about....!
👍🏔
Hi Dave, It was one of those days that it was a joy to be out. This pair was quite and we only saw another three walkers which made it even more enjoyable. Cheers, Charlie.
