Lived near Connel and have walked, mountain biked both Glen Kinglass and around Loch Etive, Glen Etive. Loch Etive is an absolutely wonderful Loch. Super video, great scenery of an area that having moved away from due to family commitments some years ago, still miss on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing 👍
When you are in places like that in those conditions, the peace & solitude lives with you forever. Magnificent, and you clearly love the wild places as much as I do. Your enthusiasm is great to see.
Scotland’s most scenic glen. Hmmm. There’s plenty of choice. Glen Kinglass is a stunner, no doubt, but try the walk from Glen Pean to Loch Morar and back to Glen Dessary before settling on a final verdict. Having said that, a trip over the Munros from Cruachan to the Buachailles is my most memorable backpacking trip ever. I’ve got to say, this type of video, a journey on paths which rarely feature on TH-cam is exactly what I want to watch. Thank you for sharing it.
@thedaftestnameicouldthinko8233...............most scenic .......everyone has there favourite ...give the guy a chance ...he,s still young for pity,s sake ......
Hi mate. As you said on many occasions in the video….WOW,absolutely amazing. You’re so lucking living in Scotland, it’s just the gift that keeps on giving. That has to be one of your best trips so far, just beauty everywhere you looked. Thanks as ever for taking us along. All the best Dave
@@ScottishSummiteer Haha yeah, to be fair living in the north west I’ve easy access to the lakes, the Yorkshire dales, the Forest of Bowland and the Peak District. And to be honest I can probably get to the southern uplands in just under 3 hours. 😃⛰🥾🏴🏴
Another wonderful video. I thought your Lairig Gru walk was the best but you've topped it with this walk. You were so lucky with the weather. I'll have to plot your route on a map now. Thank you. I've sent you a Thanks donation.
Wise words from a mature young man regarding the rubbish on the beach, fantastic video beautiful scenery and great filming, commentary and editing as usual. Keep up the good work. Cheers for the adventure.
Where you stopped by Loch Etive was supposed to be very near where the Gaelic heroine Deirdre spent her time in exile with the sons of Uisneach. They built Deirdre a small house there which they called her Grianan, ‘sun bower’.
Nice. Great to see hikes besides the 'usual suspects'/famous trails in Scotland. Stunning views and nice edit/filming choices, i.e. no need for endless shots of just water boiling or worse, eating food from a bag while explaining 'eating food out of a bag'. What incredible luck with the weather btw. Gorgeous.
Another great video, thanks again Gregor. I just hope there are enough young people around who share your deep appreciation of our wonderful planet to mean that it has a future.
Done the same route other way round where the mountain (Buechletive) was in front of you not behind and to take your eyes you off it you could not (it is a BEAST ) also rested at same spot on the walk as you when you sat on the concrete....(30years ago )....thank mate for the memories ....you must be the next TOM WEIR ....I hope ...ATB for the next hike ........
That looked a belter young man , years ago me and the wife did the two Lairigs walk round wee Bookle , lairig Eilde and back up Lairig Gartain ...brilliant walk 😊
Absolutely beautiful!! Loved it thoroughly especially cos it was a long video ahaha, im glad you had such a great weather and conditions, everything was looking so nice
i used to hillwalk years ago before ill health wrecked stuff, I've just been given the all-clear to start slow and this has made me want to try a wee country donder.
A real landmark edition. The extended run time does full justice to the scope and distance of your trek, every moment fully engaging -- And what a trip.😮 Great you got to complete your previous watery attempt to traverse Glen Shirra to Loch Dochard. We can even forgive the jokes😖 How often would one find Loch Etive with a perfect unrippled mirror surface. Not often, but you did!! Reflected in the water as you trogged up the loch-side was the granite wall on the West side of the loch, the Trilleachan or Etive slabs. Very much rock climber territory🧗♂️, but perfectly captured in your imagery. Lingering views of the Buachaille in perfect spring lighting, Sublime!! And all accomplished, as ever, on one Pot Noodle 😂😂
I'm only 5 minutes in just now but before I forget ... re water crossings: I recently found out about the SEPA website and it's almost realtime river level data from monitoring stations. While they may not cover your exact route I'm going to be using it in the future to gauge what burn crossings might be like.
One of your best videos. Stunning scenery. Have you thought about showing this at a Mountain Festival? It should be shown in all cinemas in Scotland, to show the natural beauty of the world around us.
Well done young man, I knew you could do it but this video is at number one due to content and footage , I watch lots of TH-cam but you have the balance right, also well done with the rucksack cover just incase! I have this walk on my list as well as currour to Dalwhinne walk also Blair Atholl to kinguessie. Well done my friend. Kind regards Mark.
Another fantastic trip and you really inspired me with this route being an area I’m unfamiliar with and again just the type of route I would enjoy. Thanks 🙏 🏕️😊👍
Cracking video bud. Actually looked way more enjoyable than just a Munro bag. Probably gonna do that route over the summer too so I’ll be sure to give you a shout out, looked at a similar route before but was unsure of its links up, cheers for that 👌
What an amazing route. Yes, there's an awful lot of Loch Etive, isn't there? And there's a reason they chose that glen for James Bond, too... Buchaille Etive Mor or rather, the foot of it - just across the river from Lagangarbh Hut, is the first place I ever went camping as a 10-year old - an unbelievable 50 years ago this September! We got driven out by midges on the most epic scale ever - they came in the night and it was like something out a Stephen King novel...! You chose your season wisely!
Are there no bears?? ....been to Alaska (Kodiak island) a couple of times big ole Kodiak bears (Grizlies) out there though i can say Never had the fortune (Misfortune?) of running into one of them.....I'm an old Spaniard....came to Amerika back in '68.....Like a gypsy.....I'm a foreigner in Spain, in the US , and here in Puerto Rico....
Haha yeh I tend to eat a load of rubbish when I’m out camping, mainly because it’s cheap. But this will go a long way, thanks a bunch for the continued support 😊🙏
I enjoy all your videos, maybe you could dip into a bit of history and enlighten yourself as to why there is no one in the areas you visit. Why has every nook and cranny got a name yet it is devoid of people, the beautiful views of man made wilderness is nothing to be astounded or joyous about . There are estimates of around four million people are missing from Scotland, hence the so called wilderness. And maybe a book on place names and how to pronounce them will help.
Great stuff, keep it up.
Thanks mate, love your stuff. The support means a lot
Thank you absolutely brilliant 🤗🏴
Absolutely superb adventure beautifully captured! Scottish scenery at its finest! Well done 👍
Thank you for sharing the beauty of Scotland.
Beautiful views. Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍5

Wow Man, what a beautiful walk. The first campsite next to the Loch was amazing! Thanks for sharing, all the best, John.
Yeh got so lucky with the spot I found. Thanks for the support
Stunning. Simply stunning.
Your videos are going from strength to strength. Very relaxing this one.
Beautiful! Love your enthusiasm and appreciation 😊

Was more talking about Glen Etive, but yeh there’s loads of nice glens in Scotland for sure

Thanks Dave. Yeh I really am lucky living in Scotland. Englands not too bad either though eh

Felt like we were on the walk with you 👍 Very serene.
Thanks for the kind words
Fab video, awesome scenery.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a great route. The Buchaille is a fantastic mountain-you cant help stopping to look at it.! Really enjoyed this video.

4:05 The landscape is super! 👍
Great video, that walk is definitely worth doing 😊
100% worth doing 😊
Remember guys these mountains and Glen's are never to be taken lightly. Sadly a Father and his 12 year old son lost their lives walking in this area.
Great vid young man
Wise words from a mature young man regarding the rubbish on the beach, fantastic video beautiful scenery and great filming, commentary and editing as usual. Keep up the good work. Cheers for the adventure.
Thanks mate🙏
Great walk very peaceful and glorious views..suppose can be bit spooky at night ...do you take rations like energy snacks and stay safe😊
Where you stopped by Loch Etive was supposed to be very near where the Gaelic heroine Deirdre spent her time in exile with the sons of Uisneach. They built Deirdre a small house there which they called her Grianan, ‘sun bower’.

Only one word to describe this video “fantastic”
I love the scottish bueaty. One of the most enchanting places I've been to is Pucks Glen. It's like a magical fairy tale.
Where's that? Is that Gaelic?
Another great video, thanks again Gregor. I just hope there are enough young people around who share your deep appreciation of our wonderful planet to mean that it has a future.
Hope so too. Thanks for the continued support 😊

Brilliant film Gregor. I was wondering if you are following a specific trail or using OS maps to string a route together? Id love to walk this one
amazing footage ! well done
Love your adventures. Glen Kinglass and Loch Etive has always fascinated me. I love your thoughts on what you find enroute
Thanks man. Means a lot🙏
may God be with you
Another fantastic trip and you really inspired me with this route being an area I’m unfamiliar with and again just the type of route I would enjoy.
Thanks 🙏
🏕️😊👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed
Nice one Dave. I have my eye set on doing 2 and camping at same spot sometime this summer! Cheers and ATB 👍
It’s a great route, hope you get the weather for it 🤝
Great little circuit, would you be so kind as to share your route. Keep up the good work
I've worked it out from his description using my maps.
Looks a pretty good route tbh.
Cracking video bud. Actually looked way more enjoyable than just a Munro bag. Probably gonna do that route over the summer too so I’ll be sure to give you a shout out, looked at a similar route before but was unsure of its links up, cheers for that 👌
No worries mate. Yeh it’s an amazing route. Hope it all goes to plan when you do it in the summer 👍
Great adventure and those views! Love your content 👍🏻
Thanks man🙏
Glen Etive is one of my favourite glens! That's another brilliant film you've done! Sticky rib pot noodle?🤔😃👍🏼
Can’t beat a pot noodle haha

Not a bad place for a first camp eh. I’m sure you’ve got some great memories
Congrats on hitting 2K subscribers! 🌲🥾🏕
Thanks Erin 😊
Nice 1 👏
Great video, this is on my list next month when I'm staying in the area. Might need to pack a flame thrower for the midges though 😅
Yeh I’d pack two just incase😂😂
@@ScottishSummiteer 😂
Hello
What camera are you using for filming ?
Thank you !
well done 😃
What was that !!!!!that was a joke,awesome video,so envious.Travel safely
Thanks man🙏
Are there no bears?? ....been to Alaska (Kodiak island) a couple of times big ole Kodiak bears (Grizlies) out there though i can say Never had the fortune (Misfortune?) of running into one of them.....I'm an old Spaniard....came to Amerika back in '68.....Like a gypsy.....I'm a foreigner in Spain, in the US , and here in Puerto Rico....
How long is a trip like this and what do you pack for food along the way on a multiday hike?
This was 3 days. I normally eat foods that don’t go bad (like nuts, chocolate, gummy sweets). Not the healthiest but good calories 😊
First comment!
Porque nol o haces el camino de Santiago en España.
Would love to do it at some point 👍
Second comment!
I know I joke about your food choices😅
But please accept a contribution towards a meal on the way home or top up the fuel.
Haha yeh I tend to eat a load of rubbish when I’m out camping, mainly because it’s cheap. But this will go a long way, thanks a bunch for the continued support 😊🙏
Decent weather? In Scotland? Danny haud yer breath…… get the tent out

All those beautiful places are bare because of the Highland Clearances,sad eh,.😍😍
