I wholeheartedly agree they are the real heroes along with other mountaineering volunteers. I recently went up Ben Vrackie outside Pitlochry and the path up there is very well made. It's a Corbett, not a Munro, but nonetheless the hike is very strenuous
As an another disabled person i really don't think you realise how much happiness your videos brings to us who are unable to do those amazing hikes it lets us see that amazing scenery thanks from the bottom of my heart ❤️ for making the videos ( I'm near in tears writing this ) thanks again
Lovely video, it's been rather moving reading the comments from those that can't make these climbs any more but get great pleasure from watching you both.
Schiehallion was used to calculate the mass of the planet in 1774. It’s a nice regular shape and quite isolated from other hills. They used a pendulum and measured the deviation towards the hill. They had to invent contour lines too. I don’t remember a well defined path near the top, it’s a bit wide and fairly easy to see where you’re going. It was my 100th Munro about 25 years ago. I’ve been back since as it’s quite a nice one.
Was going to post this. But it's not so much that they *had* to invent contour lines; more that the expedition's surveyor had made altitude measurements on all sides of the mountain. He then had the bright idea to draw lines connecting points of the same altitude, and realized he'd invented contour lines.
I am too disabled. And I loved my time hiking and camping miss it however your videos bring great joy. Scotland is a place I have always wanted to visit Thank you
You both belted up there, so clearly you're both fit as a fiddle. Alicia barely seemed to get out of breath! A real treat, on a Tuesday as well. You are spoiling us. I consider myself cheered up. Thank you.
Even before I became mobility challenged, this would not be my choice of exercise. A woodland path is more my style. Now I'm also too old along with my limitations. I did enjoy 'climbing' with you both.
Oh this is extraordinary! Thank you both so much! Who made the Celtic circles in the Rock at the Summit do you know! And yes! Scotland at its best! Aye! 🙋🏴🇮🇪🙏
Scotland definitely has the best the British isles have to offer. Watching this without seeing another single person except you and your better half makes me wish I was there instead of London.
Beautiful landscape with mountains, snow covered peaks, lochs, green valleys, dramatic cloud streets, so so beautiful, thank you you two lovelies for bringing beautiful Scotland in my living room ❤
This video and the talk of Ben Nevis, reminded me that when I was 5, we stayed in fort william in the campsite at the foot of Ben Nevis and one evening, the family decided to take a stroll up the path of Ben Nevis never intending to walk more than maybe half way. I remember standing on the summet cairn in the middle of june, the rest of the family turned back but my uncle and I climbed it. My mum remembers when I got back down it was my 'bedtime' and I tried to prove I wasn't tired by doing star jumps and running around. 10 mins later I passed out in a chair and got carried to bed..... This looks so beautiful as a walk will have to be one on my to do list :)
Beautiful scenery and love the surrounding mountains with all the snow. Steve the only reason Alicja is ahead of you is that you carrying that heavy camera Lol. Thanks Steve for the bonus video.
Lovely! a wee song for you two Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go By heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles. If it's thinkin' in your inner heart the braggart's in my step You've never smelled the tangle o' the Isles. Oh the far Cuillins are puttin' love on me As step I wi' my cromach to the Isles.
Sunny day motorbike out Lakeland hills n back roads ...back to stonking evening self made meal bottle of tirril pilsner along with a superb climb and views from steve n alicia perfic day ....12/10
Amazing! Thrilling climb! Dazzling snow capped peaks & Summit! Spectacular views! Wild & wooly weather, accompanied by a beautiful deep blue sky with so many fluffy, yet foreboding, looking clouds, especially the huge dark one just above your heads there! Yikes! All of this. along with a couple of cute wee dogs...and people. LOL. What more could we ask for? Well, maybe just some jelly babies from Alicja's 'secret bag' there. LOL.Thank you for sharing this exhilarating experience! You 'guys' are definitely never 'Dull' or 'Boring.' Indeed!.Scotland truly is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Blessings to you both!
The reward for reaching the top, a stunning vista as far as the eye can see....that is my take on Scottish mountains the days the weather is right! Do the North face on Ben Nevis, a stunning route
Thank you Alicja and Steve for a wonderful video. The views were amazing. Whoever built that path did a great job and it can't have been easy ! Looking forward to your Ben Nevis trip.
Brilliant effort and a lovely memory for me as I climbed Schehallion around 40 years ago . The views are simply stunning and even more dramatic in the snow . I did go to climb it again a few years later but the weather closed in and we had to turn back .
Well done, you two! What gorgeous views from up there. You made me laugh with the sign for Dull…I don’t live all that far from Boring! Cheers, and ATB!
I think you found the formula for future successful mountain climbs. Set your expectations low, such that when you only get so far, you’ve still got a success, and when everything falls into place, you summit and you feel grand!
Great video guys, it brought back a lot of memories from the mid 70's, when a group of us scouts climbed it in mid August, when at the top, it was a thrill to look down on RAF training run, thanks again.👍👍👏👏
As another disabled Person you have truly opened up my World. I am not just watching your adventures on TH-cam, I am there with you experiencing them. Thank you so much for sharing them.
The views were amazing. You could sit there for hours just taking it all in. Seeing you walking up all those endless steps, reminded me of when you need the toilet in a Weatherspoons 😂 Stunning video, Steve and Alicja! Hope you're both well. Andy.
A nice little day hike up a mountain! Looked like a lot of fun, and amazing views. Looking at all that uneven rocky terrain made my feet hurt though. Thanks for taking us on your journey!❤
Awesome scenery - really stunning. Not sure I would try it though - those jagged rocks look really dangerous near the top. You two and Scott should be paid by Scottish Tourist Board for really selling the country. Well done!
Talking about Ben Nevis- 31 years ago a friend and I, (plus a driver) climbed Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike and Snowden the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales in one day. 😮 A future challenge Steve ???😅
You two might have passed the viage of Dull, but your video was anything but. A lovely walk show casing Scotlands incredible scenery. An empty land made outstanding by two great people. We done and ATB
This was a fantastic climb. So much open country to see as you climb that steep mountain. Getting down is a lot harder than climbing up I always find. Thanks for a great video and I like your beard that you are growing. 👍🧔♂
I’ve climbed up all 3 peaks of the UK, something I am quite proud of! Ben Nevis is tough, but Snowdon was the one I found the toughest! Scafell Pike was the easiest of the 3!
Did this one about 4/5 years ago. Fantastic climb. The views are magnificent, especially from the top towards Rannoch Moor. I did it in bitterly cold full winter conditions (early Jan), I can confirm that the Boulder field near the top is pretty tricky under snow, gotta be extremely careful with foot placement. The larger hill to the SW is Ben Lawers, another fantastic and not too challenging climb, and you can tick of a few summits on that one easy.
Another great video as always! Just occurred to me the amount of work that went into making that nice trail, putting in all those stones for steps. You really have to hand it to the folks that did all that work. 3:22
Thank you for a lovely relaxing video of your climb! Well, relaxing for me! 😀 What beautiful views on such a sunny day! Next time we are up in Perthshire, we plan on visiting the car park and I think I might be able to walk along the start of the path! Thanks again! 😀💕
That for showing round the schiehallion mountain and it will be awesome to see the view and the dogs and the views is really wonderful and the pathway is very hard and the snow on the top hope you both had a good walk up and down the mountain and the views as well thanks
The John Muir Trust is a Scottish charity established in 1983. They own over 60,000 acres of land including around Schiehallion and the summit of Ben Nevis. Their raison d'etre is to conserve, protect and restore the UK's wild places for the benefit of us all. Like a number of charities they've had a tough time of late so I'd encourage anyone who cares and enjoys wild places to become a member.
He was from Dunbar, on the east coast of Scotland. There is a long distance trail, which goes from Helensburgh, on the west coast, to Dunbar, and it's called the John Muir Way.
I must be in double digits for the number of times I have climbed Schiehallion. My parents had a time share at the Loch Rannoch Estate way back in the '70s so we visited every year for many years. We Used two cars - leaving one car closer to Loch Rannoch, then drove to the proper entry point for the climb and basically climbed right over the top and down the other side to the awaiting car, drove back and picked up the second car! That made the climb more fun and more interesting! Great video and it brought back happy memories! 🙂
Such beauty from the clouds to the mountains to the valley below! Well captured. Bonus: the thought of eating seafood while gazing downwards from over 3,000 feet above sea level. 🙂 (I wonder how long ago those Celtic runes were carved at the summit. So much to soak in...)
Excellent video. Always fun when Steve and Alicja are together. Looked a comfortable climb except for the last bit. The views are just incredible - especially when it's sunny. Looking forward to the Ben Nevis video whenever it happens.
Shout out to the folks who build the stone paths up the mountains. Great views on your adventure 😊 🏴
I wholeheartedly agree they are the real heroes along with other mountaineering volunteers. I recently went up Ben Vrackie outside Pitlochry and the path up there is very well made. It's a Corbett, not a Munro, but nonetheless the hike is very strenuous
Thanks Gordon, I was one of them who built the path👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴
As an another disabled person i really don't think you realise how much happiness your videos brings to us who are unable to do those amazing hikes it lets us see that amazing scenery thanks from the bottom of my heart ❤️ for making the videos ( I'm near in tears writing this ) thanks again
I'll echo that! 👍
@@eekee6034 So do I!
And me too!❤

Love the fact on 1774. My family must have used some of this data in their map making, especially the contour aspect.

He then had the bright idea to draw lines connecting points of the same altitude, and realized he'd invented contour lines.
Ach, justwonderful. Thank you both. THe name of this hill is from the Gaelic for ' Fairy hill of the caledonians".
Good to see the two of you out together at such a beautiful quiet location. The views were stunning. Looking forward to Ben Nevis.
You're right Steve. " Scotland you are beautiful". Well done to you both. 👍😊
Enjoyed that....Going up tests your lungs, going down tests your knees!
I am too disabled. And I loved my time hiking and camping miss it however your videos bring great joy. Scotland is a place I have always wanted to visit Thank you
Nothing Dull about the two of you! Fun video w beautiful Scotland shining like she does!
You both belted up there, so clearly you're both fit as a fiddle. Alicia barely seemed to get out of breath! A real treat, on a Tuesday as well. You are spoiling us. I consider myself cheered up. Thank you.
What can i say.its got to be another Wow.what a beautiful world we live in don't we.and well done both of you.🌏🌍.Steve your anything but Dull.
Even before I became mobility challenged, this would not be my choice of exercise. A woodland path is more my style. Now I'm also too old along with my limitations. I did enjoy 'climbing' with you both.
What a surprise. I am near the end of two weeks in the area. This mountain is my view from my rented cottage.
Respect...Steve and Alicja. So worth the effort to reach the summit. One of my favourite walks. You've brought it all back to me.. A big thankyou.😊
Oh this is extraordinary! Thank you both so much! Who made the Celtic circles in the Rock at the Summit do you know! And yes! Scotland at its best! Aye! 🙋🏴🇮🇪🙏
Scotland definitely has the best the British isles have to offer.
Watching this without seeing another single person except you and your better half makes me wish I was there instead of London.
Another fabulous piece which allows me to get my Scottish fix!
Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺
I love how, when you say in the video that don't know something, you put in the name so that we don't have to struggle trying to look it up.
Scotland is beautifull as you said. Thank you!👍
Another stunner, Steve & Alicja! The scenery was so beautiful -- Scotland at its best!
Sunshine on Leith Barney.
Alicja and Steve , congratulations on defeating the peak! What breathtaking views you have! Scotland shown by you is just amazing 👏💚
Anyone else expecting Scott to jump out and shout "boo!"?
Best video yet Steve and Alicja. Even beats trhe pub crawls. 👍
It’s like flying. You feel Ilike you just want to step off the edge and go all the way to the bottom. Thanks guys, high five.
10/10 steve, those of us that cannot do that themselves physically can look at this and have the same experience without the danger or cold wind
So fun! Thanks for taking us along. What a view. Loved the Dull and Boring sign. Y’all are so cute.
That was a great training hike and you're right, Scotland is beautiful. Well done by both of you. Thanks.
Beautiful landscape with mountains, snow covered peaks, lochs, green valleys, dramatic cloud streets, so so beautiful, thank you you two lovelies for bringing beautiful Scotland in my living room ❤

That's fantastic. Well done Steve & Alicja. Breathtaking views. BTW I watched this video at 17:06pm 😉 Was worth the wait. 😊

Thanks Steve and Alicja. You never fail to impress. Love the Scottish adventures 🏴🇳🇿
7:00 regularly looking where you’ve come from also helps massively for navigating the return journey 👍
The reward for reaching the top, a stunning vista as far as the eye can see....that is my take on Scottish mountains the days the weather is right! Do the North face on Ben Nevis, a stunning route
Thank you Alicja and Steve for a wonderful video. The views were amazing. Whoever built that path did a great job and it can't have been easy ! Looking forward to your Ben Nevis trip.
The vuew from the summit was amazing
Can't beat a pint of Schiehallion.
Brilliant effort and a lovely memory for me as I climbed Schehallion around 40 years ago . The views are simply stunning and even more dramatic in the snow . I did go to climb it again a few years later but the weather closed in and we had to turn back .
The shattered rock field leading to the summit was such a contrast with both the lower section of the path and the views.
...And those views 🙂
Well done, you two! What gorgeous views from up there. You made me laugh with the sign for Dull…I don’t live all that far from Boring! Cheers, and ATB!
We need to get there someday!
The light at that time made the views spectacular, great effort guys, I needed a sandwich after that😊
Thanks for sharing your trek up the munro! That view is what I needed today.
Absolutely an awesome achievement and stunning vistas ❤
I think you found the formula for future successful mountain climbs. Set your expectations low, such that when you only get so far, you’ve still got a success, and when everything falls into place, you summit and you feel grand!
Formula for Life too 👍
Looking forward to watching this later, we now have your last video to catch up on too! It's a Steve binge tonight. Lol
What beautiful scenery a really enjoyable video to watch. Thank you Alicja and Steve.
Great video guys, it brought back a lot of memories from the mid 70's, when a group of us scouts climbed it in mid August, when at the top, it was a thrill to look down on RAF training run, thanks again.👍👍👏👏
Thanks for taking us along. The scenery is beautiful!
I'm surprised there's no Trig Point on the top. Looks like a nice hike with some cracking views!

That was a brilliant effort by both you, well done.
Magnificent views and snow thrown in a wonderful climb but too much for me these days, loved the sign at the end,best wishes and stay safe.
Awesome scenery - really stunning. Not sure I would try it though - those jagged rocks look really dangerous near the top. You two and Scott should be paid by Scottish Tourist Board for really selling the country. Well done!

Saying "hello" from Humdrum USA!
I wanna visit!
@@steve-marsh If you make it to California I'll buy you a pint (or several)
@@steve-marshWe have a room for you in Arizona.
Excellent cinematography!
Well done you two i couldn't have climbed that
Looking back you.can see all the way back to Forfar and beyond. Need binocs. First did that as a 14 year old at school. It was a slog.
You two might have passed the viage of Dull, but your video was anything but. A lovely walk show casing Scotlands incredible scenery. An empty land made outstanding by two great people. We done and ATB
What a great walk and an achievement. You two are starts. Beautify Scotland.
Climbed up his Munro in the early 90’s when I lived in Perth. Loved the snow and the quietness. Jeez I miss Perth and Scotland
What a nice spot!❤ and the weather was legendary❤
Aw, that takes me back. Did the same walk 40 years ago on a school trip. 😊 Thanks for bringing back the memories.
That was a wonderful hike. Thanks for taking us along. I loved it.
This was a fantastic climb. So much open country to see as you climb that steep mountain. Getting down is a lot harder than climbing up I always find. Thanks for a great video and I like your beard that you are growing. 👍🧔♂
Congratulations guys, another Munro bagged, beautiful views, lovely weather, really enjoyed watching that, thank you both, well done 👏 ❤ 🏴
I’ve climbed up all 3 peaks of the UK, something I am quite proud of! Ben Nevis is tough, but Snowdon was the one I found the toughest! Scafell Pike was the easiest of the 3!
How Good are you two? Always Game!🥂🥂🥂💃🏻💃🏻 This will build up those “Quads” !
Well done on your mountain hike
I loved this journey but a few folk have broken limbs on those rock...thank you for the journey!
Dull was the tiny place where the Piper MacGregor came from he fought and was killed at the Alamo.
Yet another great video and great weather for a munro 🤓👍
It so beautiful and I would love to hike there. Love to both of you 🤗🤗

Glad you enjoyed it!
So beautiful!!

Great video maybe we should all remember someone layout them stones that your walking on ,hey great vid
Thank you
Well said!
Thank you for a lovely relaxing video of your climb! Well, relaxing for me! 😀 What beautiful views on such a sunny day! Next time we are up in Perthshire, we plan on visiting the car park and I think I might be able to walk along the start of the path! Thanks again! 😀💕
That for showing round the schiehallion mountain and it will be awesome to see the view and the dogs and the views is really wonderful and the pathway is very hard and the snow on the top hope you both had a good walk up and down the mountain and the views as well thanks
The prominent mountain you guys were mentioning is Ben Lawyers and An Stuc behind and slightly to the right. Well done on summiting Schiehallion.
Ah cheers!
Ben Lawers
Wow those views are stunning ❤
great job well done😄
Interesting to see John Muir's name on those signs. I associate him with saving Yosemite and never realised he did good work in Scotland as well.
Muir was from Scotland.
The John Muir Trust is a Scottish charity established in 1983. They own over 60,000 acres of land including around Schiehallion and the summit of Ben Nevis.
