    Another beautiful film. As an ex-film technician I know how much effort goes into such a polished work. It doesn’t show and that’s the skill. Thank you. I’m working my way through all your films. I’ve spent a weekend as an armchair mountaineer but come the end of May I’m off to Assynt, boots on and Norman MacCaig in my backpack. I cannot wait and your amazing films are really whetting my appetite.

    This makes it sound so remote but just drive to
    Lochinver and there it is. Still a fantastic mountain and worth seeing.

    Only just discovered your channel, probably because I’ve been looking at videos on Suilven. I was lucky enough to camp on the summit in June this year. Watching your video brings me right back there. The most amazing wild camp I’ve ever done. We were lucky to have blue skies and sunshine all weekend. Liked and subscribed 👍

    A tough call coming in from the south side, but nice to see a different approach. I always wanted to climb Suilven (lived in Assynt 20 years) but never made it up there. It's a special place, was up there in spirit with you guys, thanks for sharing.

    Wow, thats incredible camping on the heed of the Suilven. You 2 are really fit to lug all that gear all that way. Felt for you carrying the boats, reminded me of working at the tatties 🤣

    I'm planning to walk Suilven and Beinn Alligin later this year, and your videos give an BRILLIANT taste of what's involved! Great camerawork, appropriate choice of music, and just the right length overall - enough to see the reality of what these daunting-looking mountains present, but not too long either. Very well done and thank you very much!

    Lovely video. The only thing is you made the mountain look so scary to climb. I walked both peaks Caisteal Liath and Mheall Meadhonach comfortably in a day from just south of Lochinver. The latter required a bit of care though. Lovely walk in, watched a Golden Eagle.
