    Hi Dan, I live in a village 5 minutes from Schiehallion, it's my favourite. I appreciate that you showed these walks in autumn/winter time too, most yt channels only seem to show the munros off during summer. they're pretty all year round :)

    • @DanMunroMan
      @DanMunroMan  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Christy! Oh lucky you! You live closer to all the munros than i do😂 and yeah i agree i think they are prettier on a clear day with snow. It is just a bit more unpleasant to do it in the cold😂

    Great video, having done most Munros (a lot of them several times), it’s good to see a young man on a great adventure across our most beautiful scenic destinations. Keep up the good work!
    The last time I walked up Ben Chonzie I spoke with a fellow walker who said something I will never forget, she said “I can’t remember what I did two days ago but I can remember every Munro I’ve been up.” It wasn’t until she pointed this out that I realised I, and probably a lot of others, are the exact same.

    • @DanMunroMan
      @DanMunroMan  ปีที่แล้ว

      Aw brilliant comment thanks Brian! I agree, i think its just because each munro is a hard task, and as soon as the name of a munro you climbed is mentioned, you could probably think of 5+ stories etc. and i feel like you could easily remember the weather on that day also!

    Hi Dan, I've recently gotten into climbing Munros through a mate and I've been loving your videos. I'd also like to add a suggestion for anyone just starting out to try Ben Arthur, the cobbler. I did my first solo climb up that 2 days ago and it was brilliant, there's two routes you can take up it as well with varying difficulty. I took the clockwise which is a bit steeper and a bit more of a scramble but the other anti-clockwise route is a more gradual ascent with what are essentially rock steps leading up it. Great views at the top of Loch Long and it's right next to Beinn ìme and Beinn Narnairn if you wanted to try them as well.

    • @DanMunroMan
      @DanMunroMan  ปีที่แล้ว

      Aw brilliant! I still have to do the cobbler and the munro beside it! Looking forward to it! Thanks for sharing!

    I'm just getting back into hiking after a good few years off it. The belly has grown substantially, and my fitness level is embarrassing. But i know walking is the fountain of youth. I've just stumbled across your videos and looking to get into munros. Being in Fife im not far from any of them. I'd happily say your videos are more informative than 80% of the hiking vids on YT. Keep at it bud, those numbers will go up, especially with the hard work you're putting in. Hopefully, I'll see you around one day on a munro.

A nice circular route is up Jock's Road (Glen Doll) to the top at Crow Craigies then across to Tolmount and Tom Buidhe, on to Mayar and Driesh. Finish by taking the Kilbo Path back down to Glen Doll Forest.
