Hot and jaggy! Sums the day up exactly 😅
Nice one laddies, well done Paulo. Looked hot hot hot 🥵 loved the Forcan when I did it like.
Thanks Kev...What a day...It was so hot that at one point I thought I was going to keel over..Brilliant but and thoroughly enjoyed it! cheers mate. Paul.
Hot Hot Hot. Well done mate looks amazing brilliant ☀️☀️☀️👍👍👍.
Melted welly! 😡😭cheers tam...Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 a wee dip in a river is class
@@themunrobagger I sat there for about an hour! amazing and felt great after it!
Great little film, thanks! I liked the backing. I've not done the Saddle but maybe will one day.
I find light coloured clothing helps ++ in hot weather.
Cheers John. It’s a great walk and we had one of the hottest days last year! In hindsight like you say I should have had on light shirts and a light top never mind black trousers and top! I was knackered after that! Cheers for watching and hope you get the opportunity to visit these hills! Cheers Paul
waow Intresting Ridge Paul
Thanks! It's a fantastic place! Cheers Paul
Hi Paul, Nice one and what a cracking day. A wee bit too hot maybe but better than the grey misty with no views. Cheers, Charlie.
Thanks Charlie. Probably the hottest day that I have walked in! amazing views and an amazing hill though! hot but happy. Cheers Paul.
Nice one Paul.I'm not one for the heat either,gimmie a frosty morning anyday,lol.Took me 2 attempts at the ridge,1st time i bailed after 5 mins into the scramble as the weather turned grim .Took the bypass route to the Saddle summit.Then i came back on a good day to do it proper.😎👍.
I usually don't mind Andy but this was exceptionally hot and just drained me....Gimme the snow and ice anyway...well.
cheers Paul.
Hi, Paul. Yet another great video. Hope you have recovered 😃!
Hi John. Just about! Could have drunk the clyde dry after that. Still, it was a memorable walk and worth the effort! Hope your well! Paul
We (Scots) are not built for walking in that heat , but I bet it was worth the effort, great watch ….cheers
I was like a jelly man at the end...bring on the autumn. cheers Paul.
Great ridge.
It's a fantastic walk! One of the best. Cheers Paul
Awesome Paul. Not just the views mate and the route but your dedication. I mean you left the camera behind for some long stretches there on a hot day. No wonder you were done. Good going. Mark
Yeah Mark, half way round I realised that I had been a bit too energetic at the start! Hey ho! It ended well with a nice wee swim! And it was bliss! Cheers. Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 It made for a great video though Paul.
think i was on bidean nam bian around this day and i bloody melted up there, so i feel ya here haha
What a day Dave! At one point during the ascent my entire body was soaked like I was just out the bath! Ended up feeling a bit sick! The descent was horrendous and all I could do was throw myself in that river! Cheers for watching mate! All the best. Paul
Great video again Paul, I know what you mean about the heat 😂.. that ridge looked amazing, haven’t done it yet so look forward to it,
Atb, James
It was so hot James...Thought I was going to collapse at the end...just as well there was a nice river! thanks mate. all the best. Paul.
Hi Paul my paramo friend... Absolutely phenomenal views.. As I always say your a lucky man... Are there any springs up there where you could find water... If you get caught out... Thanks for sharing.... If I ever get to Scotland I'll be asking you for walks advice... All your hints and climbs I absolutely love. Stay safe buddy....
Hi Mate! The water was in short supply but we did find a small spring to fill our water bottles. The lochans where all a bit stagnant so no water from them! Thanks and anytime mate! Your very welcome. Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 absolutely fantastic scenery.... Heatwaves gone here in England.... Looking forward to some hikes this summer... I'm on summer holidays now from school..... Stay safe my friend...
Good morning Paul, this was a Focan good watch and we felt for you in that heat, really good going! Bring on the winter snow hey! Sorry again we missed the premier, we will catch one soon! Keep the videos coming, many thanks Ceri and Kat ☕♥️⛰👍🌞🌡
Focan A! like it. Warm but memorable and another two mountains visited. I can't wait for the winter! Crampons oot! Paul.
Keeping us in suspense until tomorrow! LOL. Loved this route., cracking ridge walk.
Anticipation 😀lol
Stunning scenery. You got amazing weather. Have a great weekend.
Thanks! The weather was great! A bit too good to be honest but what a walk! Stunning glen with stunning views! Cheers Paul
Exhausted after watching that !!!!well done in that heat☀️ ( stoap moaning about the weather and the heat Paul. Great laughed at that. ) 😅. Another great hike , amazing views as always, really enjoyed it. Hope you got your water when you got back. Well done again.
It was the hottest day I have ever walked in! Wish I was back there now!
What a clear day, with such beautiful views, and the heat was evident! Man, that ridge was scrambley. Looked like fun! I felt your struggle throughout the day, but thanks for persevering, you gave us an amazing adventure!
Not often that hot here in Bonnie Scotland but the walk was amazing! melted but happy! thanks again! all the best. Paul.
That was some effort Paulo, fantastic! You'll have needed a wee Cornetto after that.
Thanks Lesley! I sat in the stream and drank two cans of cola and a bottle of lucozade! It was so hot I thought I was going to drop!
Bit toasty for a climb on this one Paul, such an awesome ridge. You get giddy like a little kid so much when you're getting out there. If we didn't know otherwise, we'd think it's the first time you'd seen such views. Not judging you, but I understand. I get the same way. It's like an addiction. All I could think of at 4:18 was "To the Ridge.... after you climb back down to fetch your camera, and climb up that bit a second time!" You must add a decent bit of elevation and distance to your wee walks just from fetching the camera!
Totally with you at 6:00. Rather be -10C in snow and ice with a stiff breeze than 28C baking in the sun on a rock scramble. Hope you brought some electrolytes. Views were great, but the work looked miserable. Good on you for getting it done. I'd have probably fallen in that pond you dunked your hat in for a spell. Great wee walk as always!
JR it was blistering hot but that didn't take away from how amazing the views are here! I do get a bit excited but it never fails to amaze!
I dread to think how much extra I do...That part at the ridge was a killer...it was easier to scramble up than down, then to do it again....crazy but worth it for posterity!
I actually commented to Colin that I can't wait for the winter! cheers again big chap! all the best. Paul.
@@PAADVENTURES1 Noting can take away from the views, except maybe the fog, and not much chance of that on a hot day. Next time we're out it it like this we'll raise a bottle of water to your perseverance, and hopes for an early winter 😂
Cheers JR! Your a star..
Oh wow, that sounds great Paul! Looking forward to it.
Hope you enjoy Stripey!!
@@PAADVENTURES1 absolutely great - thank you very much for sharing Paul.👍
@@StripeyHatGuy thanks stripey! You should definitely visit this hill! Ta Paul
@@PAADVENTURES1 after seeing it what to expect I will for sure! Cheers
@@StripeyHatGuy not anything like your scrambling stripey. It's short and quite straightforward.
Well done Paul. Looked a very tough hike in that heat. Certainly saps the energy levels. Sure have to be careful how you pronounce the name of that ridge. Say it a bit too quickly and TH-cam will ban you 😆
Forcan hot! That's what it was Anthony! It was like ibiza in a boiler suit. Thanks for watching mate! Cheers Paul
Good stuff Paul, its a cracking day on the Forcan ridge ..we done it a few years ago. I done Liathach in a similar type day the heat was brutal ..Cheers Stevie
Cheers Stevie...never been affected as much by the heat before. Liathach is a mountain I cant wait to visit! Cheers again mate. Paul
Great hike Paul! I loved this when I did it back in 2014. Spent the entire week in Ratagan YH and bagged pretty much every Munro in Glen Shiel 😄
I would love to do that! Maybe try that next year if everything opens up proper again! Cheers. Paul
Looks like a brilliant route that Paul👌🏻 Can’t wait to get it done. I was in the Lakes over the heatwave, absolutely melting. Another great video mate😁 Cheers. Mark
Thanks mark! It's a double edge sword...absolutely amazing weather but a wee bit too hot for big walks! Cheers again. Paul
Wow that was intense Paul, especially with water running low in that heat! Any more hot days, store extra water on those hills just in case
Got a wee bit caught out nicola! Two litres of water and a bottle of lucozade went so quick! Lessons learned. Paul
Well done. That must have been hard in that heat. Really enjoyed this route but the ridge was easier than what I expected 🙏Also the descent of Faochag seemed to last forever!!!
Your exactly right Andrew, a wee bit easier than I thought too. The descent, oh man, I thought I was going to need medivacked oot of there! Thank goodness for the burn at the bottom. Cheers for watching. Paul
31C ya madman!! Highest i have had was 29C and it nearly done me in. What an effort in walking that beast of a route never mind the temp bet you felt it the next day? Had me eye on this route for a few years now so thanks giving me a wee look at it looks some ridge walk :) Brilliant film again mate and mind the batteries the next time lol drives ye mental if you forget them eh ha ha!
Peter, I was absolutely melted...when we got to the river at the bottom I was so relieved. Spent ages just lying back drinking and cooling down. Lessons learned on that one! Not least to try and wear appropriate clothes! All black gear! I was a slobbering wet mess! The walk on the other hand is epic! The ridge is great fun and lots of airy bits. The second Munro is not so exciting but it has great views over glen shiel. Batteries packed for the weekend! Cheers Peter and thanks again! Paul
