- The landscapes around Glenfinnan are fantastic! Most people will go to see the " Harry Potter " viaduct or to visit where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised the standard, but the mountains surrounding Glenfinnan are the real stars of the show .....

No matter how many of your videos I have watched I can still hardly believe it’s Scotland, simply stunning . Thanks as always for sharing
Knoydart will forever be close to my heart. It's truly the last wilderness in the UK. Every time I'm there I love it.
I was impressed that Ross hadn’t let the air out of your bike tyres ;)
Great video style- I enjoy your narration - and as always, seeing more of Scotland 😊😊
beautiful thanks
OMG, another route to add to the wish list....I'm going to need a bigger list....and early retirement! lol
Such enjoyable hikes and stunning, gorgeous vistas! Outstanding! Very cool seeing the Harry Potter viaduct!
Jesus if I saw your brother in te Street I would think its you Murray. Anyways great job and adventure as always. Love and respect from a dedicated fan.
Another stunning place/video thanks for sharing these wonderful places ⛰👣👍
Remember going under that Viaduct back in 2012 doing the Cape Wrath trail. Stayed the night at the Bothy along there as well. It even had electric. Thanks for the video. Richard
Evening Murray, decided to stay 😉 cracking video as always. Superb views. A true wilderness. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe.
Got two more videos (then a wee break ) 👍
Amazing views again. Never mind the hill walk, that looks like a nice bike ride too 👍.
Martin.
Great vid Murray as always thank you for taking us along. I was however disappointed you left the magic carpet in the boot and selected the bike 🤷🏼♂️ 😂😂😂
God I miss Scotland... 🇺🇸
Nice share Murray , I love wandering along Glenfinnan . Once you leave the viaduct behind you it is always peaceful . It is a good number of years since we have been up to the top of any of the hills though ! I once dropped my camera bag while up the hill behind the waterfall ( after the bothy) it rolled down the hill and landed in the burn!!!!
Thankfully it eventually got stuck on a rock so the human could climb down to retrive it before it reached the waterfall . The camera was wrecked and so was the SD card ( with a weeks holiday snaps on it ) but the car key and cottage key were safe ; ) Getting parked these days is the main issue unless you arrive early or late in the day. Thanks for sharing Take care :D Teddy
Another great video. It must have been nice to have company (your brother)...and then he left you...awww. Well, you still got to hang out together! Take care🇨🇦 ❤️
I like the videos of you and your brother out there enjoying the hills together - your Schoolhouse Ridge video is brilliant as is this one.
Getting up the hills with my family makes a nice day that wee bit nicer. I'm actually headed for Schiehallion in the morning with my 10 year old daughter. Will be her 3rd Munro if she makes it.
Streap looks really good. Glad you took the extra effort for it.
Your daughter deserves a big WELL DONE...I hope the pull of the hills never leaves her...it will enrich her life massively...and will have great memories to exchange with others that share her passion...ATB...
Great stuff Murray.
Hi murray Back already lol Enjoyed that just what i needed after a long wet day Thanks for that murray atvb chris
Thats a scary start to the video lol
Hello Murray - another brilliant video
Great video as usual!
Enjoyed doing these last year and was gutted we didn't take the bikes!
*Question I have is what was the route software you were using at the beginning of the video? really like the look of they 3d lay out!*
Cheers
Would also like to know. Handy for surveying hills before you go.
I know on a computer on google maps if you press shift then move the roller on a mluse you can do similar. But this looks better
Is the t-shirt a hint that you’ll be getting yourself a camper some time soon?
I have sometimes wondered what is beyond the viaduct. You mentioned Loch Arkaig - I was there last summer whilst at Banavie on a wildlife holiday which was fab. We went to see the ospreys. Question - is it possible to get through to Loch Arkaig on the path along which you cycled?
Great route
Would you recommend this over combining Streap with Bràigh nan Uamhachan? Looks like the latter combines well with Gulvain or Streap.
@@HighlandFifer Best ask Murray.
The "electric" bothy. I was stopped near there by a stalker who asked if I knew what went on in the hills in September. That is my name I said.
Nice t shirt Murray - whens the big reveal??
Murray!!!
That’s too weird for words, i m off to Moidart early tomorrow and was just packing up the van and debating with myself whether to do these or possibly the Roshven Corbetts.....which i notice you also did a while ago!!
Will I get parked if I opt for the Glenfinnan munros though ??
Oh well an overnight camp at Smirisary beach or the singing sands at Acharacle is a deffo whichever option it is...!
Tough choices haha...
Hi. What is the 3D software you use to show the routes please?
Hi I know this is a wee bit off topic but I’m going to Skye now that there’s a few restrictions just wondering what your recommendation for the easiest Munro in Skye thanks
Either Bruach na Frithe or Blaven, although neither are a pushover.
Splendid views from both, so it's worth waiting for clear conditions if possible.
I agree with David S. Definitely Bruach na Frithe or Blaven.
David S thanks I think we will do Brucha na Frithe would you say the path is clear or would I need a map or something so I don’t get lost
@@benkeeley134 Never, ever, go into that kind of terrain without a good map, compass, and the ability to use them, irrespective of the presence of paths.
An additional factor to be aware of is that as you get higher up on that particular range of hills (The Cuillin), there are magnetic anomalies due to the nature of the rock, which make a magnetic compass unreliable, so it is essential to have a good knowledge and awarenes of your surroundings.
If this all sounds a bit too much, I suggest you take a guided trip!
Cape Wrath Trail.....
You walk up mountains on your feet, not metres, thats how they are meant to be measured 😉
Hi murray Back already lol Enjoyed that just what i needed after a long wet day Thanks for that murray atvb chris
Thanks Chris - another two videos to go then a wee break 👍
The thing I love most about your videos is the story telling. You paint such a beautiful picture in words. Top notch mate!
I did this route in reverse minus Streap in 97 when I was 22. My mum n dad had rented a cottage just down the road towards Ft William, so I joined them for a couple of days with Ben Nevis and this route in my mind! I forgot my camera on this walk and its been on my list to do again at some point. My 1st Munros, great views and I had better weather than the day after when I did Nevis. Midweek in August and I didn't see anybody else!
Found your Heaven n Hell vid yesterday, subscribed, now watched several more, great vids, keep em coming.
Coireachan was my 100th Munro. We spent a week in Knoydart, train to Glenfinnan (before Harry Potter), staying at the bothies in Glen Pean, Kinbreak and Sourlies and out to the boat at Inverie. That was nearly forty years ago so it was great to return via your video. Thanks.
Thanks again! The mountain to the right of your path is worth doing...a pretty stream a hidden waterfall and a vertical section.
Climbed Sgurr Nan Coireachan pretty much a year ago whilst staying in Glenfinnan. Straight up and down from the banks of Loch Shiel. On my own and not that much of an experienced climber to be honest. Bit more of a scramble in places than I expected and a few "moments" descending but great fun. Bizarrely, amazed by the large slugs on the summit! How do they get there?! Anyway, I earned my beer that day!
First visit to Scotland last year, I am now so addicted, thanks for adding to my addiction with these videos
Scotland's Mountains!!!
Hi Murray, didn't think it would take you long. Looked at the horseshoe a few times, looks great and I like the graphics
Great as always really enjoyed the map section at the start and the 3D maps showing the routes
nice walks and close to the hotels my wife would stay in
Nice T Shirt!
A class present 🎁 can’t remember who got it for me though 🤔😉👍
