A cracking hot and sunny day in the shadow of the mighty Ben Nevis. Join Colin and I for an amazing walk up Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag from Glen Nevis.
It was the perfect day Tam! If a wee bit too warm! The views were amazing but the swim at the end was fantastic! It was like an infinity pool in the mountains. Cheers mate! Paul
Fantastic walking as always. Looks like some well worn paths and not too difficult. We're dealing with hot temps here in New England lately - that river dip at the end is torturing me!
Cheers Seth! Just over the back from Ben Nevis, although it might gave been a bit cooler when you were over ! That wee pool has to be one of the best dios I've had in a long time! Cheers again mate...Paul
Did these in winter a few years back in complete whiteout didn’t see anything lol so it was nice to see the views excellent route brilliant video production as usual maté fantastic
Thanks Andrew! we were blessed with the views and the weather! that would be quite a challenge in white out conditions! the steep descent of Aonach More would have been spicy! lol. Paul,
Brilliant as always Paul, what I remember most about these two was the super steep ascent of Aonach Beag and meeting a crazy guy on a mountain bike at the summit of Aonach Mor (grizzly Munro diaries) what a great guy. Steep descent off 2nd Munro but cracking day 😊👍
Thanks again Alioban! What a fantastic day and the views back over the ring of steall were fantastic! But what about that swim spot! Probably the best swim spot I have found this summer!! Fantastic! Paulo
Wow what a day you got for it Paul, views all around were spectacular.👍 had to coax big HB around most of my hike round them.🤣🤣 Nice wee tune🤣👍 Pool looked nice and refreshing. Nice one mate 👍 ATB Franko.👍🏔🏴
Cheers Frank! don't you think that the descent and ascent of Aonach more was very short? I think it took us only 18 minutes! I can't think of any other walk which has such a quick hike between munros! A cracking walk though and we hit it off with the weather...wish I had a drone! Paulo...
Fantastic Paul. Looked like you had a brilliant day for it. Looking forward to your video on the Cheescake. Told my mate about it. We're gonna do it next year together. Am going out on Tuesday. Not sure where. Going to pick somewhere with the best weather. Take care.
Superb video Paul, they views of the Ben are amazing 🤩⛰️ I've just saved this walk to my outdoor active app.. 👍 cheers for sharing.... keep on keeping on my friend ✌️😎
Thanks David! We were so lucky with the weather that day! I was pleasantly surprised by the views in all directions! From the mamores to the grey corries the Ben! Mountain overload! You will enjoy it when you get around to it!, cheers and keep on watching!,, Paul
Great vid as always... Got to be one of my favourite short hikes.. Amazing views at all times 👍 See if you grow your grey beard longer , we could call you Gandalf 👍😂
Thank you!! The Glen at the end down by the river is stunning!! Just stunning 🤩. It may be marginally quicker but I couldn’t say for sure. I think you may miss all those amazing views on the way up? Not sure? Whatever way it will be a cracking walk. Thanks again! Paul
Looked a beautiful day Paul. Couple of biggies there but good there was not a huge drop between them. Some amazing backdrops and a very inviting looking pool on the return. 👍👍
Dave this wee pool was cracking! Not a patch on the big pool but a sweet wee spot!...you cannae wak these mountains on a day like that, pretty spectacular 😁😁
@@PAADVENTURES1 We did it on Saturday there and it was horrendous, really wet all the way down the glen to the wee bridge, it felt never ending. We never got any views either for the clag. :-( Loved your video, what a day you got!..brilliant! Its definitely one for the summer. The pull up that first bit though!..ouch! lol
That was a cracking route Paul, very scenic as opposed to going straight up through the ski centre in heavy snow ❄️ 😢 two Biggie's off the list, stunning views of the Mamores 🏔️🏔️ Fantastic mate 👌 atb Brian 👍
Cheers Brian! It had always been on my mind to try the chairlifts as I've never been around there! Maybe next time now that I've vishfrom this side! And with some snow of course! Cheers again....Paul
I stumbled across your films on TH-cam and have been busy enjoying the back catalogue. Absolutely fantastic as someone might say! Really envious of your wee dook, looked stunning. Well done.
Thanks so much!! Those old back catalogue videos contain some real horror stories! Hopefully I’m improving a bit🥴🥴🥴. Yeah that pool at the end was amazing!! The ultimate infinity pool and free entry.?if I had been there myself I would have lay there for hours…..anyway thanks for the support and welcome onboard! Cheers again! Paul 👍
Only 1 word Paul. Fantastic! What a day you got ! This looks a great route.it’s on my radar for a possible wee over nighter in fort bill and solo hike of these 2. 👍
The initial ascent is the tough part Andrew but once your up the height it's a great walk. The traverse between the two munros only took us 18 minutes!, then steep down and a cracking walk through the glen! Then back to the hotel for a beer and some snacks! Bliss 😁😁cheers again mate and thanks for the support! Paul
Thanks Susan! definitely more relaxing than Skye! a thoroughly enjoyable day out! some hostel and bothy videos in the coming weeks! hope you enjoy them too! Paul.
Oh you’re very welcome Paul. Looked amazing. Oh that’s great you found a plunge pool too. That sounds awesome. Always love a paddle after a hike. I did Ben Nevis last October. No view at the top though so though this walk would be great to see Ben Nevis. 5 Munros for me so far. Sun notes Ben Vorlich at loch earn a few weeks back. Cracking day with my two beagles. That looked a fabulous hike though that you did.Looking to do Ben lawers next week on my hols. Attempted Bruach bath Frithe on Skye in May but on my own anc my youngest dog was struggling. 30 mins from the summit too 🙈😂
If I had been on my own I think I would have stayed in that pool for the rest of the day!! Yeah the views over to the Ben and the CMD arete are amazing from there! well worth a visit if you get the lovely but hot weather we got! Ben Lawers is a great hill, that plus Beinn Ghlas is a good wee double and even An Stuc if your up for it! Or all seven if your super fit..!!!! Bruach na Frithe was our last munro on Sky and it was a brilliant feeling to have visited them all. Hard work going back when you have been so close... I had a similar experience just this weekend.... Anyway good luck on the next few munros and let me know how you go, double figures loom then you will be heading for 100!!!! Cheers Paul.
What a stunning video. I’m planning to climb Ben Nevis via the ledge route and then cross over to the Aonachs via the CMD Arete. I want to possibly have a bivvy camp on Aonach Beag before continuing east to climb all the Munros along the ridge. My biggest worry is water. It looks like I’ll be able to get some before I do the final climb up to Aonach Mor though. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ben! We absolutely knocked it off with the weather that day! Quite a spectacular day with amazing visibility. The descent from CMD is extremely steep as is the ascent back up to Aonach mor! Prepare for that! There are a few watercourses around so you should be good for water! There is certainly a small burn at the low point between CMD and Aonach mor. A stunning area and in the right weather you are in for a fantastic adventure! I take it from the Aonachs you will head to the grey corries? Another amazing area! Anyway thanks for the support! Much appreciated. Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 thanks for replying. Im planning on going east all the way to Stob Ban dropping down to cross Abhainn Rath and then working my way across all the Mamore Munros. Bivvying high up avoids the midges (hopefully) but water is harder to come by. Dropping down has water but midges. I can’t wait as it’s going to be a big adventure.
@@benvickery that’s massive Ben!! Will you video it?? That would be a great watch. I have visited all these hills but over many years! Never in one trip! 😎😎
Brilliant as always Paul , some amazing views in all directions.
You cant resist a dip in a cold river 😂😂😂😂 another fantastic hike.

Thanks Steven!!! Your right it’s a steep old descent! Imagine that in winter 🥶. Cracking views and the perfect swim spot! Bliss! Cheers. Paul
Great stuff. Been to the Steall falls a few times, but your hike up the hills was a great addition. Thanks for a smashing video......Alioban
Thanks again Alioban! What a fantastic day and the views back over the ring of steall were fantastic! But what about that swim spot! Probably the best swim spot I have found this summer!! Fantastic! Paulo
Wow what a day you got for it Paul, views all around were spectacular.👍 had to coax big HB around most of my hike round them.🤣🤣

It was Kev! come back summer! Hot but great fun....Paulo
Great vid as always...
Got to be one of my favourite short hikes.. Amazing views at all times 👍
See if you grow your grey beard longer , we could call you Gandalf 👍😂
Gandalf the grey! 😂😂Actually going to try and grow the old beard! 😎😎😎! A fantastic walk this and those views! The last good day of summer that! 😩😩😩
What a beautiful day and glen. Still have to do these two. Do you think it would be any quicker going up and down the same way you descended?
Thank you!! The Glen at the end down by the river is stunning!! Just stunning 🤩. It may be marginally quicker but I couldn’t say for sure. I think you may miss all those amazing views on the way up? Not sure? Whatever way it will be a cracking walk. Thanks again! Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 thanks for that. Enjoying your journey 😊

Only its not a pleasant walk back down the glen, its a bog fest and never ending! lol
Yeah Andy I guess it could be! We were lucky that we were there during that long dry spell in the summer! It was still a bit wet even then! 👍

Soggy feet for all! Yeah the first pull is a killer! That’s why I didn’t talk till I got to the top 😂

Hey Paul, that looked like a great walk, lovely views great weather. Hopefully we'll get the same in August? ATB Andy
I'm crossing everything Andy! If we get even close to that we will be laughing 😁😁😁😁
Fascinating video and a bit different to the ones on Skye. Love your enthusiasm for the mountains. Looking forward to seeing you on the next one. 👍
Thanks Susan! definitely more relaxing than Skye! a thoroughly enjoyable day out! some hostel and bothy videos in the coming weeks! hope you enjoy them too! Paul.
