Glencoe's Lost Valley, A Perfect Day | Stob Coire Sgreamhach | Bidean Nam Bian
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 พ.ย. 2020
- This weekend we took a walk up Coire Gabhail, The Hidden Valley in Glencoe (sometimes called the lost valley). As the weather was so good for November we decided to walk up the Munros Stob Coire Sgreamhach and Bidean Nam Bian. This has to be one of my best hill days ever with perfect weather and some the most amazing views in Scotland with the Mamores and Ben Nevis giving superb views.
Reaching the Lost valley itself will take around 45mins - 60 mins. The entire loop (with lots of filming, eating and watching the views) was 16km with 1400m of ascent and took just over 7 hours.

Beautiful view thank you for sharing your beautiful vedio God bless you and keep safe enjoy your journey
Thanks! Paul
Another great video and again them views, look amazing. I also love a good little scramble my kinda of walking. Thank you for sharing :-)
Another fine video Paul. Wonderful weather with terrific views and nicely shot.
Grandson Matthew, me and pal Andy did it last year, but in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, the clag rolled in just as we approached Stob Coire nan Lochan and we disappointedly got no views whatsoever on SCnL or Bidean, couldn't see off the summits, so it was good to see yours👍!
Fortunately was better by time we got to Stob Coire Sgreamhach and sun shining in the Hidden Valley😀.
Thanks for that John,
We went backwards as we only intended doing the hidden valley and Stob Coire Sgreamhach but with the it was hard to resist. Its a fair old walk and I must admit that I was pretty tired after it! thanks for watching and thanks for the comments. Much appreciated.
Paul
That's really cool vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come.
Thanks! All the best. Paul
Mint mate, you nailed it with the weather. 👌🏼 Nicely made film too, music reminds me of Murray, Scotland's Mountains. 😁
Thanks Robin, I was all excited! Like a wee kid again. I have driven past these hills so many times.......Yeah I heard those tunes in the free TH-cam library and recognised them from Murrays last video I think? Really liked them and just had to pinch them...lol. Hope he doesn't mind! Thanks for watching by the way and cheers for all the advice.
@@PAADVENTURES1 I'm sure he'll be fine as they're open source. 😁
Not sure how you'll beat this one Paul - that was something else for scenery. What a picnic spot!!
Hows about that Lesley! Germano would have loved that walk! when you get home we will organise something. ATB! Paul.
Has Germano got his boots all ready to go?
Doesnae get any better Paul... Shoeperbos 👌😎
For me it was one of the best days of the entire year! fabby doo! cheers Kev
Beautiful video of Glencoe's Lost Valley !
Thanks very much!!! cheers Paul.
Talk about views! Amazing! have added this to my to do list of hill walks. Beautifully filmed too, you were so lucky with the weather that day.
The views were amazing and so unexpected! Definietly do this walk, we did it backwards to the normal route which I think worked out better. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments.
All the best and hope you get up there soon!
Paul
Thank you for your wonderful view. The video landscape is fantastic. I want to go where you showed me. I fell in love with your video while drawing.
Thank you very much! Paul.
Doing this next week and after watching this video I can’t wait 😁😁
Wow, you will have an amazing time! Whatever the weather, it will be brilliant and you will remember it for a long time. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the day as much as I did. Take care. Paul.
Paul, What a super day... just terrific when the conditions are right. You certainly picked a classic route up and around the hidden valley. Take care, Charlie.
Thanks Charlie, after my last couple of trips I enjoyed the sun and the views. Quite a memorable day for me. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!
ATB Paul.
Fabulous piece of filmmaking again of such beautiful landscape Paulo. Excellent cinematography! 😜
Thanks Abi (Santa 🤶) please can you get me a drone for Christmas ✈.....so I can film from the sky! 😁 paulo🏃♂️
What an awesome video and a true inspiration to get people on the bonny hills of Scotland
Thanks Nicola. it was a great day and the hidden valley is a wee treat in any weather. get yourself up there for a visit!
Paul.
heading there next week to make a video, this was brilliant for showing it off. Thanks!
Thanks Stephen! A fantastic wee place which never fails to amaze me every time I visit. Hope the weather is good for you and you have a brilliant time!,, thanks for watching and thanks for your kind comments! Cheers again....Paul
Great video I liked and subscribed! 🔥🔥
Cheers and thanks for the Sub! Paul
Just lovely scenes.
Cheers again Kev! Paul
Great video Paul, it's a magical place Glencoe and the Lost Valley brings back good memories, 2 cracking Munros and an interesting descent route 🤣
Cheers Brian! One of my favourite days out so far! I went off that second Munro down a scree chute! Honestly I nearly came a croper. A wee bit scary 🙄 cheers mate, Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 it's a descent not to be forgotten 🤣
Big thumbs up from me and glad I found your channel. An absolutely wonderful video, footage, commentary, scenery and editing. Thanks for taking us along and sharing. ATB Dave aka wackyswanderings.
Thanks Dave! Still finding my feet but glad you enjoyed that walk. It's a magical place and when you are next back up you need to visit i cheers and thanks for the encouragement 🤣👍🎥 it means alot. All the best mate. Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 More than welcome Paul and credit where credit due. Your a natural,. ATB. Dave
Wow, I can see why this is the trailer video for your channel. Stunning, stunning views. What a spectacular stet of peaks and ridges. A perfect day!
Glencoe is one of my favourite places and not too far from the house. The views and mountains here are pretty special and make for an absolutely amazing day. Thanks again. Paul.
Thanks again! This is a magical place and well worth a visit if you find yourself in Glencoe. Doing the two hills is an added bonus and a wee scramble always adds to the excitement. Thanks again! Paul.
Amazing! Still to do these ones and I'm definitely going to save it for weather like we had on Saturday. A perfect day.
Keep the vids coming 👍
Cheers Stefan! good to hear from you! we were so lucky with the weather on Saturday which made it a magical day. Kinda the same as that day we had at Glencoe several weeks ago! Still to do that wee film. Thanks for watching and get yourself up there...Cheers Paul.
Perfect 👍👍👍
Thanks! it was a fantastic day. Thanks for watching! Paul.
Excellent. Congratulations.
Thanks Emma, it was a brilliant day and one that will stick in my memory for a long time. Cheers and thanks for watching. Paul.
30 days until we leave! This will be our first stop after leaving Glasgow though our plan will just be to hike up to the Hidden Valley. Don't think we'll be climbing all the way to the peaks as we'll be fitting this in during our five hour drive to Dornee. Nice seeing the progression of your videos from this to your most recent.
Brilliant Seth! I bet you can't wait. Yeah the hike uptown the hidden valley and back will probably take around 2-3 hours? depending on how long you take in the views! Seth does Scotland!!!! cannae wait to see your videos of that...Yeah, I do look back and I am my own worst critic! cheers Seth and look forward to seeing your Scotland trip!!!!Paul.
Great video Paul, very enjoyable to watch. I'll definitely have to get myself up there, the views were absolutely class ATB CHRIS 👍
Thanks Chris! It's a fantastic walk and well worth getting yourself up here for. It's only one of loads of walks in Glencoe. Cheers for watching mate! All the best. Paul
Hi, just watched your video over a cup of coffee this morning, absolutely superb. Me and my partner did the lost valley walk in August on the way up to Skye. We didn't go up to the munro's but after seeing this i can see another trip looming. Thanks for sharing.
Morning Andy! Thank you very much! Its an amazing place eh! one of my favourites. I was back up yesterday and did the Aonoch Eagach ridge walk and the views over to the lost valley! amazing. Thanks again mate! hope your Skye trip went well...another amazing place. Cheers. Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 yes it is. Used to go up there when I was a kid with my mum and dad in a caravan. Got dragged up Ben Nevis several times. Rediscovered my love of Scotland a few years back.
Skye trip was great, been there a few times.
I look forward to catching up on your previous videos.
Great video Paul.You got a great day for it.Done this walk a few times and it is still one of my favourites.Had one of the best winter days ever in there following the trail blazed by the Royal Marines trying to reach Stob Coire Nan Lochan from the Lost Valley side and we never even summited,lol.
Thanks Andy, it was a perfect day and an unplanned walk which made it all the better. I have just watched your Beinn Dorain video and hopefully will manage to get some winters days like that. Your drone footage is immense! Thanks for the sub also. Have subbed your channel and look forward to looking through your other films. Cheers and thanks again. All the best. Paul.
Great vid enjoyed that - some place!!
Atb 👍🏽
Cheers Dave! Its fantastic eh! heading back up in a few weeks as we are doing a wee weekend at the kings house hotel. Cannae wait! Cheers again. Paul.
What’s to say the lost valley is so nice
Keep em coming
A very beautiful and special place Adrian. Feels magical up there! Have you been in the hidden valley? Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 yes Paul but it was 15 years ago I think ! Normally go up the mountains as it’s so far I make the most of it
I love this video. Thank you for the great tour of an assent I'll never be able to make. I loved it when you stopped and stood still. The quiet really got me. Thank you!
Thank you!, it's a very special place and I am so happy to have shared it with you. I usually walk myself or with my wee dog paddy and I seek out those quiet places that are less visited as I love that sense of alone and feel recharged after it. Cheers for watching and for your kind comment. All the best. Paul
Really helpful vlog Paul, it taught me a lot and I’ll have a go at it next time I’m over.
Thank you David! It's well worth a visit and on a sunny day like we had in November its magical! Cheers and thanks again. Paul
Keren👍💪😊
Thank you!,,,
the last bit looks like a ladder, a 1,000 foot ladder hehehe, thanks again, this helped me get up to the hidden valley and then up beside the gorge where i flew my fpv drone inside the gorge, just out of this world, like a cathedral with waterfalls inside. i lost the light a bit but my last vid is the short version of flying inside the gorge so if youve ever wondered whats down there hehehe
Thanks!! On holiday the now but when I get back I will check out your videos!! What a spot eh! Fantastic! Been there a few times since then and it never fails!! Cheers x paul
Wow! This is absolutely stunning!
Thanks so much! It's an amazing place and never fails to make me smile! Cheers Paul
Excellent video, Paul. Thanks for posting. We climbed this majestic mountain back in the '90s --, and on an even clearer day!
Thanks Rosa! It was my favourite walk of 2020. I can imagine the views you must have got, it must have been breathtaking. Hopefully we can get more walks in like this in the not to distant future! Thanks again for your comment and thanks for watching. Cheers, Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 :-)
Oh wow, in the first few seconds of your video i knew that i was hooked heh. Amazing views! Scotland is unreal, hoping to travel there in October time for some walks/treks so thank you as you've given us some inspo for this! :D take care :)
Thank you! What a compliment 😃. If you manage to Scotland in October you must visit Glencoe. It's a fantastic wee spot and as far as hills go you will be spoiled! Cheers for watching. All the best. Paul
Sensational - hoping to do similar around about springtime next year
Thanks so much!!! It’s a fantastic walk and I would definitely recommend it!! Watch for that snow and ice coming up from the hidden valley! It can sit in that steep gully well into spring 👍👍👍cheers again and hopefully you get a cracking day! Paul
Wow! how lucky were you with the weather? views look amazing, not bad for November :)
Thanks Jill. This was one of those days that was supposed to be a short walk unto the hidden valley and we kept going and going and going. Of all the days out walking there are those trips that are extra special and this was one of them for me. A very special place and with weather like that its hard not to be lifted! cheers, thanks for the comments and thanks for the sub! all the best. Paul.
Wow like something from Tolkien.... Your a lucky man...
Cheers mate! That’s an old video now! Still a great place and some fantastic views to be had! Cheers. Paul
Great video! how long did it take?
Hi there, all in it took around 7.5 hours but that was with lots of filming and watching the views!
Thanks for watching.
ATB Paul.
Stunning mate , what a place 👏 🏔🤜🤛
That’s an old one David! A cracking walk though and still one of my favorites 👍👍👍cheers mate! Paul
@PAADVENTURES1 aye mate it popped up when I searched lost Valley 😀🏔 did bidean nam bian a couple of years ago.. long but epic day 🏔💯🙌
Loved this one. Been a few times in the valley and up but not as far as the tops. What a day and what views. Thanks for sharing.........Alioban
One of my favourite Munro adventures so far Alioban! We only intended visiting the hidden valley that day and decided we couldn’t miss out with the weather being what it was! I think this was November 😎 what a day! Cheers Paul
Another great film Paul love the views from up there. How did you get back down re trace your steps?
Hi Peter, thanks for that! We did the full loop which meant going down from Stob coire nan Lochan and following the glen back to the car. It's the walkhighlands route in reverse. 16km, 1400m, and around 7 hours. Absolutely loved it. Comparable to Ben CRUACHAN for views. 🤔🏔
Thanks again
Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 Yeah the views are stunning from most peaks in that area more so on a near perfect windless day like that if only we had more :)))))
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS I know....pure bliss..
Have you managed out recently Peter?
@@PAADVENTURES1 Hi mate, No really to be honest still keeping an eye on my wee Dad and working part time at the moment. Ive had a couple of days out which i have footage off and will need a wee bit more to have enough for an upload on YT. Dont think i will be Munro bagging until february-ish i think as my fitness is zilcho at the moment only wee hills for a while. Made it up Dumyat last week but it was mega foggy and i stopped filming busy wee hill right enough will maybe try and head up again asap.
Of you ever get the chance try finding loch tinker wee parked at the wrong bit wee went the long way up but well worth it when wee got to the loch and even managed a few wild brown trout
You need to let me know where it is?
Thought I’d check this out on your recommendation Paul. Thoroughly enjoyed it and what a stunning place. Those views from the summit were spectacular. This video deserves thousands more views and I hope you get them. Do you take a bit of inspiration from the Scotland’s Mountains channel? You definitely bring your own individuality to things. I love that channel also. Great stuff and thanks for the recommendation 👍
Thank you Anthony, that's really kind. Yeah I must admit of watching all Scotlands Mountains films! Its hard not to be inspired! And I guess when you are new to making these wee films its hard not to be influenced with the quality and techniques whilst trying to keep it your own. Thanks again. I have just finished work and plan to watch some of your adventures tonight! cheers and all the best! Paul.
It's a nice piece of yore.....but unless the McDonalds (clan) had access to a Chinook helicopter, there's no way anyone got a herd of cattle, highland or otherwise, up the incline that leads to the Hidden Valley.....it just didnae happen.
It's a good wee story though! 😀🤔cheers and all the best! Paul
Superb mate. I’m lookin to do this come July/August
Any tips etc I’d appreciate it thanks. 👍🏼
Thank you!!!
You will absolutely love it! One of those classic mountain walks!
Hopefully you get some nice weather and fantastic views!
Thanks again
Paul
Any info you think just ask!
Briefly I would recommend the route we did. I prefer going up the stone shoot from the lost valley than going down it! Give yourself plenty of time, an early start from the three sisters car park is essential. Most of all watch for the weather! The views from up here are amazing! Don’t go if the weathers foul 😂😂😂
@@PAADVENTURES1 excellent mate. I’ll keep it in mind about the stone path on way down. I take it there’s more than one route back to the carpark?
No problem! Yeah there is multiple routes around here! You could check out Walkhighlands website for routes and guidance!
Great hike Paul it’s on my list as Bidean nam Bian is my holy grail but will take in all 3 and the lost valley is the final hill a munro ? It looks high enough but cannot see it getting classed as a munro on maps ? Thanks david
Its a brilliant day out David and probably one of my favourite walks so far....Leave it for the good weather and you will absolutely love it..The third hill is a Miunro top I think? Just make sure you don't do what I did and headed off in the wrong direction! scary! cheers and thanks for watching! Paul.
Incredible video! Loved watching!
Can I ask, is the scree gully difficult to get up? Is it manageable or would you recommend another route up? Thanks
Thanks very much! To do the hidden valley and these two Munros I would recommend this clockwise route.
In good conditions the gully up from the hidden valley is not too difficult, steep but ok….personally I would rather go up this gully than down but that’s just me. If you take your time I would say it’s straightforward. All that said however everyone is different with various levels of experience. In poor conditions it would be more difficult and with snow quite a challenge. Whatever route you choose enjoy and take care! Thanks again for watching and thanks for your comments. Cheers. Paul
Cows must be good mountain climbers.
The fitter ones maybe! 👍👍
Doing these 2 this weekend. Anyone done them both ways and if so which way did they prefer?
Hi, our intention that day was just to go for sh6walk up to the lost valley. It was only when we realised that the weather was going to be good that we did the two hills too! I think either way will be a great day out! Enjoy the walk, I am sure you will love it, cheers paul.
Hi! Doing the Lost Valley in a couple of weeks. Is the trail well signaled? On your footage, it sometimes looks like there is little trail to follow, but it might just look like that?
Hi Robin! If you are just doing the hidden valley and NOT the Munros then the path to the hidden valley should be relatively straightforward (obviously depending on your ability) there are no signs or way markers of any kind up to the hidden valley it would just be a matter of following the path. There are a few sections where the path crosses the burn that runs along the path so prepare for wet feet maybe! It’s a really popular place so the path is generally well defined.
If you are planning on doing the Munros then that’s a completely different undertaking all together 🥴hope this helps and you have a fantastic day!! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 thanks!
