- This walk takes in the single Munro Stob Ban which sits at the head of Glen Nevis, just south of the Grey Corries. Starting from Corriechoille the route follows a good track into Lairig Leach bothy before taking to the height.
The weather wasn't quite as expected so we changed plans just to make do with the single.
Very nice. Shots as you descended were excellent. The bothy has an excellent location doesn’t it. Just passed it as you did. Gordon
Very atmospheric on the top. Turned out really pleasant on your return trip. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Nice one chaps. Good to see the Hills with their winter coat on. Need to return to Stob Ban. Saw jack
Its a nice wee dander to the top but i hated going down the other side to get to the second munro , did the big circiut last year and finished with the sole of my boot hanging off, luckily i had another pair of boots in the car , and as usual i have a story to tell about this walk , great vid , cheers
Nice video Charlie, Im thinking of doing this when up that way early December. Looks a decent walk in before you gain height. 5.25 hours for you so that means prob 6.5 hours for me. LOL.
Hi Andrew, I like it.....LOL. You'll enjoy the walk as it's in a great location for stunning views and the bothy is ideal for a pitstop either way. Have a good one. Cheers, Charlie
Nice wee contrast between the top and bottom Charlie! Good to see a wee bit of snow! I'm going out this weekend regardless of the weather! Missed my walk last weekend and I now have withdrawal symptoms! 😅
Hi Paul, The cabin fever gets you like that and you convince yourself that the forecast is better than you think. Picking the right top for the conditions will many it a bit easier. Enjoy your trip... Cheers, Charlie
Lovely video gents, thank you. I have not yet been on the Grey Corries, but I have that delight to come. I was surprised with the depth of the snow leading to, and on the summit. Almost crampons depth I imagine, particularly for the descent? Nice walk in and out too. Thank you again.
Hi Jonathan, You'll enjoy the Grey Corries once you gat around to then as its a super ridge with multiply tops all around. The tops are getting cooler now and the winter gear will need to be packed if the temps remain low. All good stuff...Cheers, Charlie
Well, thatsnow was a surprise. Grand wee bothy, very tidy. Thanks.
Hi Geoffrey, Yes, the tops are getting ready to hold onto the snow. The winter gear is going to be needed if this colder spell continues. All good stuff. Cheers, Charlie
Amazing contrast between the foot and the top. It’s been so mild in Edinburgh that you hardly think of the snow but it certainly made for an atmospheric summit. It’s a fantastic area there. All the best Murdo
Hi Frank, The summits are certainly cooling down now. Just seems so quick since last winter. Cheers, Charlie
Good stuff guys 👍. Nice and white on the tops now.
Hi Andy, It's looking like we'll be carrying the winter metalwork sooner than later. Cheers, Charlie
I can't find the car park on Google maps, where exactly can you park? Do u drive past the corriechille cabins?
Hi Matthew, Yes, continue past the cabins and drive 2km south on a rough track up towards the woods. It's near the dismantled railway at NN256787. Cheers Charlie
@Charlie McCartney OK thankyou, it's completely allowed yo drive up the track? I don't need to ask permission or anything?
@@matthewboothman129 No, not required. There are a couple of areas to park but the top one is about 250m from the wood. Just take your time on the road driving up 👍
@Charlie McCartney OK thankyou for your help, looked like a great walk
thanks Charlie, as always a great film :)
Hi Majornova, Many thanks for taking the time to view our latest outing. A typical Autumn day with plenty going on in the sky. Great stuff... Cheers, Charlie
Only done it in winter, looks completely different.
Hello, Its certainly a great top for a winter outing. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 Thank you, that was 30 years ago, I don't think I'd get up it today! :)
Another great video Charlie, your new team member is lucky to have two fantastic mentors on his Munro journeys. Well done 👏
Hi Janice, Great that young Mike is happy to boost his Munro tally when he's home. He has managed quite a few now over many years. Cheers, Charlie
Hi Guys, what a cracking day, certainly got some stunning and very atmospheric views. The Minister must get a bit camera shy. I've seen him on many videos and not heard him speak yet! Haha
Thanks for sharing your day as always.
Hello, It was a super day to be out although we had expected clearer tops. Always a terrific area to visit. Many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers, Charlie
Nice one guys!
Hi Alan, Many thanks for that... You get the feeling winter might be a bit closer than we thing 👍.Cheers, Charlie
I love watching your videos and hearing your knowledge of routes etc. …and seriously wow, you guys walk fast! 😂 Very inspiring 🙌
Hi Rebecca, You get to know a lot of the hills by walking for many years which is handy when you try to identify the tops from various viewpoints. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
The light and atmosphere at the top is just wonderful, and gives a real sense of the changing conditions at this time of year.
Brilliant as ever. 👍
Hi David, Your right, the atmosphere in days like this is terrific. Just needed the cloud to be a bit higher.... we're never happy 😅 Cheers, Charlie
Hi Guys, remarkable day
Conditions not bad for the time of year.....
👍🏔
Hi Dave, A very enjoyable day. Could have done with a wee bit higher skies but no real complaints. Cheers, Charlie
