Thanks mate :) Yep the best 50p i ever found in my life lol! Yeah i cant wait to be able to head out there or anywhere at the moment but there is hope on the horizon Tim patience will get us all there in the end :) Hope you and Mandy an wee Jess have a great new year! Take care ma man, peter.
Cheers for your reply, I do the mountains myself, did quite a few Corbetts and smaller hills when we were aloud out 😂 only 3 munros in the summer, but you're videos are really good for one's that I have not done yet, here's to 2021👍
Cheers Paul! One step forward two steps back with my dad at the moment but hopefully things will sort themselves out soon. Even though Tomtain is a wee one i felt so happy driving home yesterday missed it big time!
Eddie's Lodge. 😄 Good to see you out again mate, had to check the map, the Kilsyth Hills are pretty much an extension of the Campsies. Nice to the the Gorms again too. 👌
Aye "Eddie's lodge" has a ring to it ;) I was absolutely knackered that day up there really felt the effects of the lay off but loved right enough it's amazing up there. Yeah i finally got the gist of the Campsies/Killy hills was always under the impression it was the Campsies Fells nothing else. Great hills no matter what :)
Never ventured from Lin Of Dee Car Park area before. That looks a good track for the bike. Might venture up there in the new year or whenever we get out of tier 3/4. Good to see ya posting vids again. Martin.
Thanks mate :) Would loved to have went up Glen Coe this morning but cant travel with this Covid Tier system we have at the moment. Bloody frustrating this year!!! Take care when your out big man, peter.
At the beginning of March, just before the first lockdown, I suffered a bad attack of sciatica and for nearly four months could barely walk never mind hill walk. I was feeling pretty low. Towards the of June it miraculously started to ease off and I was able to start taking regular local walks, on which I began to look longingly at a pair of hills which, honestly, I wouldn't have given a second glance last year, Tomtain and Garrel Hil. At the beginning of July, despite still having pins and needles in my right leg and numbness in my foot, I did them as a tester with my grandson Matthew. A modest walk, but I was so happy to be on a hill again, any hill. It was something I didn't think was going to happen this year, and at my age, maybe never again. BTW, they were a bogfest in July (especially between the two summits), so dread to think what they are like now. And I'm glad to say, despite my gammy leg, I've managed to get out and done some bigger hills late summer and autumn.
BRILLIANT! Well done John! I thankfully i dont have Sciatica but i know someone who does and i can see how bad it is. It must have hurt more knowing that you couldnt make it up any hill big or small must have been very depressing. But well done in making it up to the summit and as you say it is boggy as hell but in these days who cares eh? Hope in due time the pain ease's more and you make it up more hills and make sure Matthew tags along too ;) All the very very best John, peter.
Thanks Stevie :) Aye they were good days alright especially during what this year is throwing at us! Hoping to get out before the year is over and fingers crossed for spring next year. Surely cant be any worse!!! Have a nice Xmas big man, peter :)
Gorgeous views! Yes, it's been a strange year. I took up running in lockdown, which helped with the fitness. Went to the Kilsyth Hills a few times for navigation practice, but I haven't climbed Tomtain. It looks like a great wee hill. The views from the Kilsyth Hills are fabulous - I was able to see Goat Fell, Tinto, the Perthshire hills and Arthur's Seat. In late August I did a couple of days camping near Derry Lodge, the first time I'd been to that part of the Cairngorms. I walked in in the moonlight. I'll definitely be back - it's beautiful! I climbed Carn a'Mhaim, Ben Macdui, Beinn Mheadhoin and Derry Cairngorm in one day - took me a long time to recover from all that! Sadly I didn't have enough space in my backpack to take my good camera, so no video. I do have a couple of videos to edit when I can find the time! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
In one day!!! Ye mental?! lol! You are right it is brilliant up there. Where did you pitch your tent? Derry lodge area? What time was your final summit at can you mind?
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Stark raving mad! That's what I was thinking as I made my weary way down Derry Cairngorm as the moon was rising - it looked amazing. It must have been about 8.45pm when I reached my tent. I set out at 8.30am so it took me about 12 hours. The walk up Carn a'Mhaim and Ben Macdui was amazing, and I've always wanted to climb Beinn Mheadhoin, so I just went for it. I was knackered when I reached the summit. The easiest way back to my tent was over Derry Cairngorm. I pitched it near the river, not far from Derry Lodge. Lovely spot. I didn't climb the tor on Mheadhoin, as I was the only one on the summit by that time, so I'll have to go back sometime and do it again!
@@natalieminnis I'm aware of that route(3 Munros) in fact i met some people who were doing just that and i assumed you added Beinn Mheadhoin on as well. That is day out alright and to be honest you were correct to head over Derry Cairngorm as the route back down through Glen Derry is very deceptive a lot longer than it looks. I can understand why you didnt climb the summit tor and it means you can bag it via the "Shelter Stone" route which is one of the best walks up there :)))
Help my Bob, I thought you had gone and taken holy orders. Really Nice to have you back, I have been waiting in this armchair for ages. Take care Peter xx
Thanks Magnus :) Aye it's been one of they years had family issues to deal with never mind the Covid mince. Hopefully get back out more often especially now it's nice and frosty outside which i like :) Hope all is well with you Magnus take care mate, peter.
Hello Peter i hope your well mate though like me your fitness levels are down a bit never mind we`ll improve with the weather in the New Year, Sorry to hear about your Dad i hope things improve, that lodge is beautiful Peter but will quickly go into disrepair if left much longer, Eddie & Sinc should buy it i agree loaded the pair of them LOL, the views from up there were as usual spectacular i agree it`s just nice to get out i was 50p down the last time i was up there thanks for saving it for me LOL, Stay Well Stay Safe you & the Family, ATB George.
Hi George how ye doing mate? Three weeks before lock down my Dad after 7 years all clear got the big "C" again. No operation this time just a 3 week dose of radio which has flattened him literally. He then got the %100 all clear from that but on the same day he was told there is 2 very small dots which might an might not be. In fact we will find out on wednesday so it could be another session of radio or it could be nothing. Total bloody nuisance but to be honest George he has been very lucky with it and we know it fine well. We can only wait and see :) That 50p is going to Eddie & Sinc's first down payment on that lodge, They can cough up the other million quid or so lol! Thanks George great to hear from you again big man take care pal, peter.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS So sorry to hear about your Dad Peter, if he`s got rid once then he`s a fighter mate, i hope as you all do for good results Wednesday, Stay with it mate, ATB George.
@@thebuspasscamper3999 He got the all clear last wednesday George :))))) What a relief!! Now going to try and get him healthier by wee walks of 15-20 min a few times a week to stretch his lungs a bit.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS i`m chuffed to bits for your Dad and for you & the Family mate, you must have all been worried sick, he deffo is a fighter and you will both enjoy little walks and time together, something bloody positive for a change this year mate, Thanks for letting me know Peter i`m made up for ya, Look after everybody as i know you will i know this has made all your Families Christmas so much better, Take Care, ATB UG. ps. HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR MATE.
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS sorry to hear that man hopefully bump into you one day out and about your videos have helped my out loads over the last 10 years , good to see you back oot
Hi peter,it’s nice to see your videos again.it looks so peaceful.I’m wondering what type of tree those are that look a bit like Xmas ones.I’ve seen them all over remote places in Scotland.do you know what they are? I now watch TH-cam on the tv so I’m gonna rewatch your Munro ones.stay safe
Hi Ken how are you doing mate? Hope all is well. I know what tree you mean there seems to be lots of them up here. I think they are called either "The Douglas Fir" or "The Noble Fir" tree. Probably the "Noble Fir" is the one you mean. i have also just got a smart TV and i can watch YT on it too while lying in bed lol! Good to hear from you again Ken take care pal, peter.
Hi Peter yes a dogshit of a year, I got oot about 6/7x this year, my laptop been off last few months. I was supposed to go back to Linn of Dee and camp at Ecthachan maybe next year. My favourite area is the North - west but TBH its all good. The Eddie Lodge for young women I would be live in manager of course Sinclair can be janitor. Yeah I have no idea about my hill fitness I would guess non-existent. I go very long walks in the city but summit camping totally different ballgame. I was talking to Matt last night , first time for about 10 months. We hopefully get a killy camp done in January but this shite looks like it's going on till April at very least. Great you got out a few times but so frustrating also, I've had enough I be going out regular next year. I hope you get out more next year, i know the last few years your munro bagging has stalled maybe you have a bumper year 2021. ATB take care.
Eddie how ye doing mate? Aye it's been shite no other words can describe it total pile of pants!! Like you i've had enough and im going to give next year a real dig cannae have another one like 2020 will drive ye mental. My wee Dad got the all clear for the 3rd time in 7 years. He beat the Big C again but this time it has left him a bit of a wreck but in due time he will be fighting fit again but it will be a while and what a change in mood for the both of us bastard disease!!!!! Was up the Cathkin Braes tonight filming and will head up tomorrow morning to finish a wee film even though it was maybe just 2 hours it felt great just to be out with the camera again. The "lodge for young women" what a great idea! I never thought of that! Sinclair the janny? Aye why no eh? Think you would only have to ask him once ha ha :)) And if your needing a gardener or a tea boy then give me a bell lol! Thanks for watching mate it's good to hear from ye again and i hope big Matt is keeping good. All the best big man, peter :))))
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS Glad your dad ok that be a weight of your mind. I can see the cathkin Braes from my window but never been. Yeah go for it Peter I'm getting oot!! I m just bored although busy working and helping folks i watch out for vid take care.
Really enjoyed this - great views and great commentary

@@MUNROSnCORBETTS I wonder if they'll still turn it into a hostel after all this covid rubbish is over? Eddie could be the warden. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace ha ha aye can just imagine Eddie on the door no letting people in :)
Never ventured from Lin Of Dee Car Park area before. That looks a good track for the bike. Might venture up there in the new year or whenever we get out of tier 3/4. Good to see ya posting vids again.
Martin.
Yeah the path is a good one seen tons of mountain bikers there in fact you could reach way up Glen Derry if you dont mind a wee bit of muck :)
Love your videos mate, keep up the good work, I'll be doing a few that you have posted 👍
Thanks mate :) Would loved to have went up Glen Coe this morning but cant travel with this Covid Tier system we have at the moment. Bloody frustrating this year!!! Take care when your out big man, peter.
Thing is I’ve been thinking about getting out again for a while but your vid of glen tilt really gave me the push to get out,even bought a new tent.
Oh aye Glen Tilt beautiful place up there :) Ive been to the Falls of tarf a couple of times and that is a great walk :) What tent did you buy?
