- Mountain Wilderness - Not where you Expect !
Stuchd an Lochain - You don't have to travel far as expected to get a feeling of remote wilderness in the mountains. This long day really did have a wilderness feel and a remote mountain feel . Leaving at first light , the headtorch was required coming off the mountain . You don't really expect to find such wild feeling areas so close to home - not where I expected !

So glad I found this channel.. gives me my Scotland fix until I can get back up in 2022
Welcome to the channel Jason - hope you enjoy some of the videos over here 👍
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
Fabulous! Thank you for all the incredible filming you do - setting the camera down then going back to it, at the same time maybe struggling up a difficult stretch and racing against time. The swirling cloud at the end was really magical.
Thanks Sue - I may well have got back without the need for the head torch if it wasn't for all the extra time filming lol a great adventure none the less :)

Thank you - left me with a huge smile on my face.
Love the addition of the map with your excellent videos
Wonderful video Murray! Absolutely outstanding🤩👍. You are so humble, never referencing this as anything other than a big day, 21km, almost 1600m, a lot of it off path, a big day indeed! And all the while setting up shots and bothering to take us with your, our hats truly come off to you. We think you have to win the prize for most effort on you tube😊👍. Loved the swirling clouds at sunset, magical. Some amazing views throughout the hike too. We are sure you had a good sleep that evening! ATB as always, Shell and Pete😊👍
Thank you folks - very kind of you :) I was indeed a bit tired but still found the energy to drive home that night - think I got in the house and went straight to bed 🥴🥱🥱

I live in derbyshire been walking years i love it but have been walking on edge of national park just outside but very beautifull and quite and special to me i like to be at 1 with nature
Still the two Corbetts here so might link them up with the Munros. The terrain looks better than expected!
That’s some going Murray thanks for taking us along with you.
Thanks Carl - I was absolutely knackered after this hike 😂 slept well that night !
Take care and thanks for watching

I felt tired enough just watching you look across to Sron a Choire Chnapanaich, lovely film and walk, thanks for snippets of wisdom.
Its a steep pull up the Corbett !! I was rather tired after getting to the top of that mountain !!lol A long and tiring day - but fun was had :)

Brilliant Murry as always the views are amazing stay safe
Another great video Murray, and another fine advert for Corbetts.
Another great video Murray with plenty of beautiful scenery. I am pleased you managed to fit in two Munroe's and one Corbet in a short period of daylight. Stay Safe. All the best.
Thanks Douglas - much appreciated- was a great mountain round on this trip :)

Really well presented and edited account of this dander. Living in Ireland but would gladly move to the west of Scotland and spend the rest of my days in the hills there
Thank you Murray!👏👏👏👏That was amazing!🙂👊
Aaw great stuff Murray thanks for sharing. What a wonderful hike and not a soul in sight. Take care and im looking forward to the next...Alioban xx
Thanks Alioban - it was a remote feeling area for sure, nice and quiet too, never met another person the whole day :)

Oi I'm a Campbell, haha. And McDonald, bit of a family joke. Impressed with your choice of food for the trip. Great video Murray, you made me laugh once again especially the Campbell crack.
Thanks Lisa - my dietary requirements were not fully met on this trip ;)lol and glad I didn't meet you on the top of the mountain , what with you being a Campbell I would've been scared you'd try and throw me off the top ;) lol

Stunning views and great to see the clouds rolling off the hills lower down, a pleasure to watch
Thanks Murray, really enjoyed this one, especially your squeezing the last drop of Autumnal light out of the day. Meall Buidhe is underrated as a 'lesser' Munro but as with many similarly overlooked peaks it offers great vistas out to better known hills and of course the vastness of Rannoch.
Great video Murray. Spectacular scenery . 👌 Loving the new hill diet 🤔🤣🤣
who said anything about the diet being new ;) lol

Nice one Murray. That spot midway looked amazing for a camp and packraft if the winds playing the game. Top tip.. you can buy an elastic bungee cord that you put around your rooftop fabric. As you close the roof it pulls in the side walls preventing if from getting caught in the roof struts/mechanism/hinges..thingy, you know what I mean! Very expensive having it repaired if it catches on your roof struts when the wind blows etc.. We learned this on Hamish no.1. Money saving tips R us lol ! 😆
Brilliant - I’m always spending ages making sure to pull the outer inside - away to Google now 👌👍 thanks folks :):)
I’ve just discovered your channel in the last couple of weeks. Hence I’ve been on a binge getting lots of inspiration. Great videos and just what I needed to kick me back into action. Thanks
Hi Stephen - thanks for commenting and watching - hope you enjoy the videos in the coming weeks :)
Take care and thanks for watching

5***** video, great stuff. Cheers mate.
Nice one Murray, thanks. If you haven't done so already you'd better add 'Jelly Beans' (large size) to your Christmas list now. ATB
good point - writing letter to Santa right now :)
Hi Murray, remote indeed.... such a long day anyway....without having to film 👏
You mentioned a legend Cameron.... a true hero of mine as you are my friend.... such a ambassador of Scotland .....
absolutely inspirational thank you take care.
ATB 👍🏔
I absolutely loved Cameron's Munro book (I still do). When I first got into hill walking I spent hours flicking through the pages and looking at the routes and photos - a great book and inspiration

I cannot believe how you can you can climb a mountain on what you eat haha, i have eaten probably 4 times as much and i can tell you climbing on to my couch was tough going Murry, i knew i should have put my head torch on, love the video and the music at the end is perfect once again thank you.
My diet was a little bit unhealthy on this mountain trip !! Lol always seem to eat rubbish when I’m out in the van 😂 last night I consumed a big packet of crisps after two lorn sausage rolls ! Lol
Thanks for Watching
Murray
Another good one Murray - thank you 👍
Whenever I hear the piece of music you used in this one at the end, I always know it’s going to be an epic view - great vid sir 🤝
That little home from home must feel like a god send coming off the hills.
Another great vlog. Really look forward to your video. Thanks.
Thanks - the van can be very comforting coming back to after a long hike :) last time in Glen Coe I got back mid afternoon and cooked up some lorn sausage rolls 😂 tasted good and think the car oark was jealous of my healthy snack 😂
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
brilliant loved it, some trek... love your enthusiasm even when tired....
Love your videos. Thank you for continuing to post fabulous content.
P.S. also really like watching you and Ray out together.
Fantastic....
Did this round the opposite way around many moons ago, best way of doing the two Munro's and the bugger of a Corbett in the middle, its so steep down into the loch head. Great video as always...
It certainly a steep drop and pull up that part of the hike - I was a little tired after that !! Lol

That’ll be a lesson for you! From now on, keep a generous supply of Jelly Babies in the camper van! (Maybe add a “Jelly Babies” level to your Patreon! 😆) looks like a fantastic day, Murray. ATB
Ah - good idea - I could keep a supply in the van :) I need to stock up on my Jelly Babies I think Erin :)

As always mate a really enjoyable watch … so many ideas you give us for future adventures … will need to send u a care package of Tayto cheese and onion crisps … a must for any hill walk ;)
Must try those :) sound good and tasty :)

Love it nice1 ♥∞
Brilliant and thanks for brightening up a dark November day in Leicestershire. I'll be in Killin in June and be doing this round, with jelly babies and plenty of daylight 👍
Thanks Ian - hope you enjoyed the video and it brightened up your day :) hope you have a fab trip when you visit :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Nice one Murray 👍
Thanks Murray 👍🏻 excellent stuff as usual….fantastic round👍🏻
Lovely video Murray.
Great video, and quite a bold trip. Can’t wait for the next trip.
Great stuff Murray
Wonderful video Murray. Really enjoyable as usual. Some great scenery, really wish I loved a bit closer to Scotland and her mountains.
I love the two Munro's- although I loved doing them as half day Friday PM hills, rather than the epic November circuit you did! The Corbett looked brutal. The view from Stuchd an Lochain (in the daylight) I think is incredible. I spend a lot of time in Kenmore and I really think the hills in this area are amazing. Some great shots. Keep inspiring us all to do more hills and capture the memories
It’s a great area - so many great mountain walks around this area Glen :)
Thanks for watching

Loved this one Murray, cracking.
What an effort!! Amazing video once again.
Thank you - very much appreciated:)
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
These two Munros have been on the radar for awhile (time with grandkids have kept me away from them) I was unaware of the circuit so thanks for educating us. I think Cameron has been an inspiration to many of us.
Absolutely , I spent many an hour pouring over Camerons Munros book - still do :)
Take care and thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
Even in the southern mountains it is spectacular. And an inspiration to get out and make the most of all the daylight we are given at this time of year.
The feeling of wilderness at the end of the loch was amazing - exactly as Cameron McNeish describes - a rather special place to loiter (not for too long though at this time of year :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Smashing video as usual, thank you for doing what you do!
Fantastic video Murray - congrats on hitting 50k subscribers! Well deserved - I think you were at 15k when I started watching! Looking forward to the next adventure
Thanks Folks- can’t believe so many people have subscribed - humbling TBH - hope the upcoming vlogs give a wee taste of adventure for every one of the 50k ( kept my favourite adventures of the year for the next 5 or 6 week :)
Hope you enjoy them

Very enjoyable watch. I've got those two Munro's on the radar but wasn't aware of the circuit. A light pack and camp in that copse over a couple of short days would be very nice. Thanks Murray. 🥾🥾⛺🥾🥾
A two dayer would suit this very well - its a steep drop and ascent at the head of the loch - would certainly wake you up to that ascent first thing in the morning ;) lol

Beautiful cinematography at the beginning.... How you can make a cold dank day in Scotland look so amazing :) which it is amazing obviously.. Pretty fantastic..thanks Murray for amazing mountain vlogs ☘️
Thanks Merky- it was a long day with the highlight coming at the end with that amazing dusk sky, just beofre the darkness surrounded me! :)

Nice video Murray. I mind years ago looking at that route in his book thinking that's a big day. Mind you, what day isn't in that book 😁 I'll need to return to Meall Buidhe, another one to take the misses up.
What a day! Awesome video, Murray 👍
thanks Benny - much appreciated

Oooh enjoyed watching this in all of its remoteness. That view over Rannoch was fab. I think that one thing that makes me smile is your humour, that you laugh at yourself, that's an energiser in itself! Am still trying to work out your accent, but you're easy to understand. So well done, hope you had a good night in the land of nod! See you on the next escapade, cheers Murray!
Thanks Janet, I certainly slept well that evening after those two days on the hill :)

Thanks Murray; inspirational, as always! I too recall reading about the circuit, when I bought Cameron’s book in 2006. It’s stayed on a vague wish list till now, but you’ve made it a ‘must do’. The spot at the head of the loch looks very special. I might pick a day with more daylight though! Great stuff! 👍🥾
Thanks Martin , I would recommend the long days of summer for sure (unless a two dayer with a wild camp thrown in - although the steep descent at the end of the loch might not be the best with a big camping back pack on !!lol

Thanks Murray, this one really lifted my spirits! I finally left Southampton and I'm now living near Turriff in Aberdeenshire. I moved in a week and a half ago and for most of a week I was treated to absolutely gorgeous sunrise and sunset skies, similar to what you had on this trip. It was breathtaking, and felt like a warm welcome fo Scotland. I don't suppose you could recommend a couple of easy hills in my area that I could try once I'm settled in, probably next Spring? I'd appreciate some tips from an experienced outdoor guy :) All the best - Mike.
Nice one Mike - good to hear you have now made the move north - hope you are enjoying it :) My best bit of advice would be to check the excellent walkhighlands webpage for routes near you - they will have loads of options I think :) Have fun and welcome to Scotland :)

@@ScotlandsMountains Thanks Murray - I will check out walkinghighlands for sure! Sorry I didn't reply sooner - Storm Arwen has taken out my power and it's still not back on yet so I'm typing this from my car to keep warm, while using 4G. I think Scotland is trying to test me, haha! :D
Very well done again. Don't know how you can manage all these hills in one day! I did Vorlich at Loch Lomond on Sunday and my legs are still feeling it! ATB
My legs were sore for about a week after these two mountain trips !!lol

@@ScotlandsMountains yeah after speaking to others this is perfectly normal. I look forward to seeing the next one, take care.
What a stunning video Murray. It perfectly illustrated the difficulties of making decent-sized walks fit daylight hours at this time of the year. The sunset views together with the accompanying music really made me feel excited for my Nant Ffrancon sky
… line walk in Snowdonia I am going on, with the Chester walking club I’m a member of, this coming Sunday. As you can imagine, we only occasionally get to visit Scotland. However, in May next year we’re coming to stay in Crianlarich (near Tyndrum and the Green Well car and truck stop). What Munros and Corbetts would you recommend in that area please Murray? ATB, Chris Harris 🤗
@@cjharris4 Hi Chris , good luck for your hike up Snowdon , hope you have a great time :) There are loads of hikes near Crianlarich and Glen Coe is just up the road too. Have a look at Walkhighlands though as they will have everything covered in the area :) Have fun when you get up to Scotland :)

@@ScotlandsMountains Thank you Murray for kindly taking the time to reply to my message. BTW, tomorrow’s walk starts off from beside Llyn Ogwen in the Ogwen Valley (not Snowdon). Snowdon is very busy these days and is best avoided. Finally, I just wanted to say how much I’ve appreciated your TH-cam channel, “Scotland’s Mountains” through the lockdown(s). I’m so glad I discovered your channel prior to the pandemic and I’m looking forward to what you’re promising in the run up to Christmas. Best wishes & kindest regards, Chris 🤗
@@cjharris4 Thanks Chris - starting from next week , I have my favourite adventures of this year lined up culminating in a couple of very long vlogs around Christmas from a rather special hike earlier in the year - hope you enjoy them when I get them out :)
Hi Murray, great adventure and brilliant route to do the munros. I did these two a few years ago and recently came back with a friend fly fishing for wild brownies.
A cracking place :) hope you caught some supper when you had your return visit :)

Where do you get your energy?! I'm knackered just watching all those assents and descents 😂 great video as always ❤️
I sometimes ask myself the same question after days like this!!lol
Not sure what trickery you use but your footage is always amazing! Keep it up bud!
Thank you sir - very much appreciated :) The best vlogs are still to come - tune in around Xmas and you may recognise some rather windy conditions on a specific ridge on a famous Island in Scotland ;) lol

Great video as usual Murray.Did that round a few years ago but the opposite way and in the summer.The drop down off the Corbett was steep so fair play to you for the pull up it.Would have been severe.
It certainly felt severe - I was just glad I had had a bite to eat before tackling it :) A fine round of mountains though :)

Another great video, thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I was going to suggest you add a map so that those who like me are not familiar with the location can orient ourselves but you beat me to it. I liked the personal touch where you mentioned how you got inspired by McNeish’s book “The Munro”.
Thanks Mark - I spent countless hours in Cameron’s Munro book when I started hiking - so good and fed my ambitions :)
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
Another great video, thanks for the enjoyment and inspiration you provide. A couple of things I'd be really interested to have your thoughts on:
1. Do you use winter tyres on your vehicle? I'm toying with getting a set for driving to Scotland this winter.
2. I'm thinking of getting a pair of OAC WAP 127 skishoes from Finland to do some ski trekking in Scotland this winter. Black Diamond sell a variant of these called Glide Lite trekking skis, but they don't export to UK or Europe.
I'd be greatful for any advice. Thanks again for all the great videos you've produced, please keep up the good work.
Afraid I don’t know anything about skiing but in terms of winter tyres - I have them on my van and also my wife’s car - make a huge amount of difference in the cold IMHO. Wouldnt be without them now in winter. Got the vans tyres changed a few weeks ago and all ready to go . If you search winter tyres vs 4*4 on TH-cam there are some really nice videos explaining the benefits 👍👍

Ah Murray we're gonna have to have a discussion about your nutrition 😂😂 fancy forgetting the jelly babies... seriously though great vid and lovely circuit to do. Interesting to find out if those trees were part of a larger forest at one time. Lovely spot.
Nothing beats a pack of Pringles after some white chocolate 😂😂

That’s what they call in the States “Breakfast of Champions!” 😁
Thanks for the great video Murray. I've always loved the views to Rannoch from Meall Buidhe and also over Glen Lyon from Stuchd an Lochan. I was wondering how you deal with the stalking issues here? The keeper is a great chap but I know he has had some issues in the past.
Thanks Robbie - some wonderful views up there for sure. During Stalking season I like to phone the states the day before to check . Some useful information at this link for those needing more info : www.outdooraccess-scotland.scot/practical-guide-all/heading-scottish-hills .

@Cameron McNeish has a TH-cam channel which is well worth subscribing to.
Virtually no chance of meeting anyone on these remote hills at this time of year.
You have to be extra careful Murray.
While I enjoy a jelly baby I'm more of a "randoms" man myself when it comes to a boost.
Absolutely Alistair, was really quiet, was away early enough that I didnt see anyone on the first Munro and back late enough that everyone had been away home from the second one by the time I got round there :)lol

Perfect timing Murray! Just visited Lawers & Rannoch area. I hiked Loch An Daimh too, but didn't summit Stuc an Lochan. Please do you know if Lochan nan Cat has crystal clear/greenish water or if it is the usual dark, peaty colour? (Does anyone else know)?
Fantastic editing and camera placements; your low filming perspectives create real moodiness & sense of scale to the mountains. Brilliant👌
Hi - thanks for the comment - TBH it has been 20 years since I was last up Stuc an Lochan so cant remember what the lochan looks like . Maybe someone will be able to comment and let you know - sure there maybe lots of images if you search google images perhaps ?

Hi murray, whats the model name of that Rab jacket your wearing, and what do you think about it ? i think i could do with one like that.
Hi Pat - its an old one but the model is a Rab Vapour Rise , Guide Jacket, QVR 32. Not sure if it'll still be available (its probably nearing ten years old) but they will probably have an equivalent :)
