You and Paddy make those 'wee walks' look so easy, he must be the fittest dog in Scotland. I love your colour co-ordinated jackets :). Another really enjoyable video, can't wait to get home!
That's just a trick of editing! 😏 really it takes us several days to do a walk! 🤣. Paddy's wee jacket is so good, without it I cant see him as he blends into the background. Looking forward to getting Germano out on one of these walks!
Thank you! Paddy blends in so well with the grass and heather that I had to get something bright to keep him in sight 😁🐕. It wasn't intentional......honestly 😂😂ha ha. Thanks for watching and your kind comments. All the best. Paul
It was Tam. The descent off Meall man eun was no fun for me. I had watched your video from before and remembered you saying at the end that the walk back was a nightmare. It took me 7 hours and the last bit seemed to go on for ever..cheers mate. Paul
Nice one Paul.Some lovely scenery you captured there.I did the route in reverse to you.Pretty boggy either way in or out,lol.Did not enjoy finding my way up the crags that u mentioned and my whole leg disappeared down a hole in the flatish section before them.🤣👍
I found that last section really tricky Andy. Had to carry the dog at a few points. Looking forward to the return trip for Starav and the other two! Cheers mate. Paul
I was at Glen Etive for the first time last month doing Ben Starav. I was seriously impressed with the place. This weekend I’m taking the Mrs and 2 boys to camp there. We’ve decided as a family to spend our summers in Scotland camping rather than abroad or caravan parks. Great stuff again Paul! ✌️
Still to do Ben Starav and co...How did you find it? did you do the three? I totally agree....Its either an age thing or the last year has given me a different perspective. Scotland for me for the foreseeable. Cheers for watching. ATB Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 I planned on doing the 3 but that day was hot so we managed to do only Starav. I found it tough but I’ve only been doing Munro’s for just over a year (done 21). It was the drive into Glen Etive just of the A82 (I think) that caught my eye. I found it inspiring. So we have spent a few Bob on all the gear for camping and plan to go away hopefully every 2nd weekend around the Highlands. I think it is an age thing with me. I’ve just turned 39. Being in the hills walking is a fantastic day. I’m heading Wednesday to Beinn Dorian myself too.
@@polarbear109p2 Dont sweat it... Its a sea level start so you are doing the full ascent. I have thought about trying to do the three in the coming months..we shall see, my legs aren't getting any younger.getting all the gear Is expensive initially but I am sure it pays for itself especially as a family. I have gathered up stuff over the years but I can never get enough..21 is a good amount for a year! just enjoy the journey and don't get too bogged down in the numbers. Beinn Dorain is great, you should tag on its neighbour Beinn an Dothaidh too. We were up Beinn Mhanach yesterday which is just over the back of these hills. It stands on its own and we tried an alternative to the normal route. all good fun. Not promoting myself but have a look at the wee camp spot I found here. th-cam.com/video/owaKj2Eo0v8/w-d-xo.html Hope you get the weather on Wednesday! cheers Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 Now that’s a nice spot on you’re video. I have been looking at a solo tent, a bit like you’re MSR one. Never did something like a solo camp but I definitely want to experience it. Thanks Paul ✌️
Another nice one Paul. No sun this time, but you could see where you were going and still got some views, so got lucky again😄. Driven past the Glen Etive road hundreds of times, buy only driven down it to the end twice. Sadly not for hillwalking, just for the drive. Last time had my eldest daughter Louise and her two sons with us and she wanted to find the spot on the road where the famous scene from Skyfall, with Daniel Craig and Judy Dench was shot. We managed to find it and recreated the shots for ourselves😄! Glen Etive is a special place. Let's hope the hydro scheme and it's new found popularity with a certain kind of wild camper doesn't spoil it.
The weather gods forgot about us then! it was great though, a wee bit cooler and much easier to walk in. The views where still amazing though and the cloud sometimes adds a bit of drama. This is my first time to Glen Etive and I can see what I have been missing. The road was really busy with all the construction traffic on the hydro schemes but I never saw one other person on the hill! amazing. I will probably head back there on a week day to catch the other three munros soon. I never got the photo opportunity and don't quite know where it was??? never mind, another time. Have you been back out since Meikle Bin? all the best. Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 I was hoping to get out and do a wee circuit in the Campsites (Cort-ma Law to Lecket Hill) yesterday but, as you know it p****d it down all day. Plan is to try doing that one, and if I'm still OK, I've got my eye on Beinn an Lochan, a Corbett at the Rest and be Thankful as a kind of step up hill. Bigger, but not a HUGE day. Would like to send you a couple of Glen Etive pics. Is there a suitable platform I could do that? (Only if your comfortable with me doing that).
I was sitting at my desk glad of not being out on the hills! Beinn an Lochan looks amazing! Very dramatic wee ridge walk for a corbett, but nice and short as you say. I have looked at it from every angle but never managed a walk there. I would love to see your photos! I set up an email for TH-cam, its paulagnew69@gmail.com. look forward to them John!, cheers. Paul
Another smashing hike, glorious views, great editing, a lot of extra walking when you have to film on your own, well done.Wee Paddy is a great companion and Co Pilot , wish I was as fit as him. 🐕😊
Grass looks to be getting a little green lower down Paul. We love how you couldn't even keep a straight face this time when you said you were out for a "wee walk". 3 peaks bagged in an afternoon, no biggie! Loved that stream and waterfall that appeared at 4:16, and the wee walk up looked especially enjoyable. We are partial to cascades like that. Blue skies are great and all, but walking among the clouds like that has a special kind of magic doesn't it? Low enough to enjoy, not too low to obscure the views below too much. We can't decide who was having more fun, you, or Patrick. You're a legend Paul, thanks for taking us along on another amazing "wee walk" in the highlands.
Thanks so so much! I found it hard to edit out any of that waterfall footage. Such a beautiful remote place and to be honest the footage doesn't really do it justice. The initial walk up is a great day in itself and adding in a few peaks is a bonus. Paddy loves these walks and is a great wee companion. The forecast was for better weather however the grey skies added to the feeling of the day, solitude and peacefulness with a hint of foreboding. Thanks for watching and for your kind comments. Paul
Good stuff Paul , quite a change since i was in Glen Etive with the hydro put in. Dones these two a couple years ago , boggy as hell lower down ..good vid mate ..cheers Stevie
Great walk Paul, was really surprised that you had no strong winds with all the clouds - lovely dramatic scenery, just great! I also do really like the map in-between the clips, very helpful for orientation. Thanks a lot Stripey
Thanks stripey. This is a lovely area and the hills are pretty spectacular. I did notice some amazing rocks which would probably make for some excellent scrambling! Perfect for you. The maps are good fun and I enjoy doing them. Cheers again! Paul
Nice video Paul. Still to do these two. You must have been back and forth all day picking up your camera. LOL. Cool animation with the route map, I have still to figure out how to do that!
Thanks Andrew. Yeah I spend ages running back and forth. Its worth it for a good wee reminder of the day plus iy keeps the fitness up! I simply use keynote on my MAC. Its very simple once you have done it once or twice. Then I import it into iMovie. are you using a MAC or Windows? Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 it’s annoying at the time going back and forth for camera but worth it when you see the end product. I use Luma Fusion on my iPad to make my videos. I do ok with it but i wouldn’t say I’m very creative! Might check out Keynote as i know there is an app for that. 👍
@@andrewsadventures5747 Just watched your latest video and I would say you are doing more than ok! yeah keynote is very good for adding additional green screen videos with text and maps and stuff. Defo worth getting aquatinted with it. Subbed your channel! cheers Paul.
Enjoyed that, good filming. Very natural and well edited Planning this one soon from Victoria bridge. Just working out just now if managable. Subscribed.
Thanks! Yeah it’s doable from Victoria bridge! Just a big long walk in. Cracking mountains and I had a great day up there with wee paddy!! Hope you have a great day when you head in! Paul
Hi Paul, am l right in assuming that when your walking towards or away from the camera you've walked there, put the camera in position, walked back again and then return towards the camera or is someone else operating the camera? I'm working my way through the videos :) Cheers Andy
Yeah Andy I do quite a lot of walking backwards, forwards, up and down! It can add quite a bit of extra distance and time but worth it! Its just me with the camera...bonkers I know! Paul
My familly very loves mountain. We like walk to mountain and travelling at world😍
we are the same! we spend as much of our free time outdoors as we can! thanks for your comments! cheers. Paul.
WOW PANORAMIC PEACEFULNESS IN PANDEMIC.....SO BEAUTIFUL...LOVED IT AND SUBSCRIBED...
Thank you! and thanks for the sub. Paul.

Fab video and clever editing. You two are in your element enjoying your adventures 🐾👣⛰🗺☯️
Not sure if its paddy taking me a walk sometimes 🐕😃
Nice 1 Paul.
Great couple of munros but I'm sure the walk out was brutal. 👍👍👍
It was Tam. The descent off Meall man eun was no fun for me. I had watched your video from before and remembered you saying at the end that the walk back was a nightmare. It took me 7 hours and the last bit seemed to go on for ever..cheers mate. Paul
Oot again 😉 Nice one Paul. Another hill I've still to do. Like the tunage at the start & the way it was edited. 👌👍
Cheers Kev. Would recommend them highly. Going back in the next few weeks to have a go at Ben Starav and friends. Cant wait! Paul
