- This loop walk in the western Mamores take in the two Munros of Mullach nan Coirean and Stob Ban. Starting at Achriabhach in Glen Nevis from NN145683 the good path takes you up through the wood at the start. Go right at the hairpin bend once you hit the forest track and follow it round for approx 800m and you will see a cairn on the left with a good path heading upwards.
A good day with little wind and cloud moved in and out around the tops.
Another great video Charlie, thanks for bringing it to us ...
Hi Frank, Glad you enjoyed this outing in Glen Nevis as we had a cracker of a day. Cheers, Charlie
Great video 📹 Charlie, some stunning shots heading up Stob Ban 🏔 very atmospheric with the clag rolling in and out, atb Brian 👍
Hi Brian, Your spot on, the atmosphere is greatly enhanced with the cloud rolling about..... providing its occasionally above the tops. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
Hello Charlie, did this exact walk back in 1999 in perfect weather and absolutely loved it. I’ve never been back but I’ll never forget it. The Mamores are a fantastic set of hills. Thanks for the videos.
Hi Philip, I agree, the Mamores are a terrific group of tops and give the walker a variety of choices for tackling the range. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
Said hello as you were both coming down, then realised that I'd watched your videos and the one's with Murray as well. Told my wife I recognised you but she didn't believe me. Great walk yesterday and loving the videos Charlie! 👍😁👌
Hello, You should have stopped us for a chat... maybe next time. It was a super day and we really enjoyed getting back into Glen Nevis after a few years. ATB.. Cheers, Charlie.
Remember doing this about 20 years ago we had a glorious day . Brings back happy memories. Think we might have been three of those little ant’s you saw on the WHW . Great video Charlie .👍
Hi Janice, Really glad you got a wee memory burst from our outing which was just terrific. The WHW looked really busy and great to see folk out and about. Cheers, Charlie.
More fabulous scenery and the bits of cloud added to the views.
Hello, It was a super day and I agree the cloud always add a bit more atmosphere to the scenery. Cheers, Charlie
Another lovely video Charlie. Dramatic scenery in a beautiful area . Very much enjoyed the views from on high .
Hi Neil, It's a beautiful glen and the straight up hills add to the drama. Very busy as you would expect on easter Friday but it was great to revisit. Cheers, Charlie.
Brilliant video guys, stunning views!
Hi Dave, Its such a superb area for dramatic landscape and just great being back in Glen Nevis. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
Done this trek with my border collie when i was 17 had a white out at the top went down the wrong side had to go back to the top and down the correct side the pup was not pleased 😅
Hi Ryan, Sounds like you had a bit of an adventure on this one. All good experience 👍 Cheers
loved this walk when I was there Charlie! had a very similar cloudy day. not a lot of snow left up there! winters done! cheers Paul
Hi Paul, The Mamores are a great grouping of tops in a dramatic area. Planning to get around them through the season and tidy them up in a couple of visits. Winter looks to be over in the hills with the snow getting a big shift which will give the opportunity for some bigger days. Cheers, Charlie
Good stuff guys. Great views coming down from Stob Ban. Cheers, Andy.
Hi Andy, Stob Ban has always been my favourite in The Mamores ever since I saw it from the east on my first visit. Just stunning.. Cheers, Charlie
Great outing again Charlie & Mike, weather was kind to you. I loved these 2 when I done them and the views up to Stob Ban with all the crags is awesome.
Cheers
Frank 🏔👍
Hi Frank, Stob Ban is easily the best top in the Mamores and always a joy to see the eastern crags. Enjoyed your first part of your outing from Glen Shiel and looking forward to the remaining movies from both of you. Cheers, Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks Charlie, and I would agree Stob Ban is the best in the mamores.
Nice one Charlie. You were a wee bit unlucky with the cloud: I had a clear day in torridon. Still a good day for you. Gordon
Hello, We had expected things to be slightly better on the weather front but can't complain. Light winds and no rain is always a bonus. Torridon a clear day is just magic and easily one of the best glens in Scotland.... hope your walk end well. Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 agree. Compared to recent months, just having low wind speed is a bonus.
Hi, Charlie.
Michael and I did thirteen Munros in five days round there in August 1996 so the summits are a bit of a blur in the memory, except Stob Ban which I agree is the standout.
The quartzite was a wee bit dull a couple of days ago but at least it didnae rain on you.
Hi Geoffrey, The Mamores give a great walking challenge within a relatively short distance. They are certainly better left for a clear day to get the full appreciation of the group and the spectacular surrounding tops. Glen Nevis takes a bit off beating. Cheers, Charlie.
Hi Charlie, what a fantastic walk, Stob Ban looked amazing, have done the peaks to the west but not these two, is it correct you can do this walk from the glen from Spean bridge.? Cheers mark Shaw.
A wee bit claggy at times Chaz, but not a bad outing mate. Its Been ages since I done these two. Shocked at the lack of snow by the way.
Hi Robin, Its been 7 years since our last visit too these two so it was great to be back. Weather was expected to be better but we’ve done these in tee shirts and blue skies so we already have a good appreciation of the views. We’ve ticked the winter over box… as the snow has had a big shift over the as couple of weeks. Looking north, there is very little snow on the tops to the far north. Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 good to know regards the snow (or lack off). 👍🏻
We are hoping to do this walk in May , would you suggest doing this route the way you did it anticlockwise ? Looks quite steep off Stob Ban , great views
Hi Tracey, There is a good path all the way on this route and it honestly doesn't matter the direction. If the day is settled then perhaps clockwise gives you the super views of Stob Ban with the light at your back. Have a great day as this group of tops are magic. Cheers, Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks Charlie it does look a great wlak
Excellent walk Charlie was one of my better days out up there :) Charlie what was that guy doing @7:33?
Hi Peter, He was one of the many runners you see about the hills with a vest, tights and a pair of shorts…. (I’ve three layers on) I hope they never turn an ankle when running. Cheers, Charlie
Peter, Sorry, wrong guy. I suspect he was a mountain rescue team member testing communications from the tops… I might be wrong but I’ve see them practicing in the past. Cheers.
@@charliemccartney7055 Ah i see now Charlie must be practicing as you say for they mad mental runners ha ha :) Aye ive seen a fair lot of them got to admire the fitness of them though 👍
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS The fitness of these hill runners is astonishing and they certainly cover the ground at an alarming rate. They are generally built like stick insects with not an ounce of fat..... I hate them.......LOL.
