I was a bit dubious watching this if I'm honest Alistdair not for any other reason apart from having a nightmare myself. Three weeks ago I done both of these in superb conditions great views in every direction, basically everything we could want. Sadly on the return section the weather took a turn for the worst and on the final section at the bottom of the glen adjacent to Beinn an Dothaig I fell and broke my right arm and caused a huge amount of pain. Thankfully help was on hand and the situation quickly resolved. Haven't managed back out as I'm still in recovery. Thankfully I'm getting there and have received excellent hospital treatments. Unfortunately for me despite these being two absolute stunning munros I will not return for a repeat given the set of circumstances. Really good video as always mate, sorry about ranting but it took a bit of courage for me to relive. ATB look forward to seeing you soon for another adventure
That sounds like quite the ordeal, and not one any of us would wish to happen on any hiker. Good to hear that help was close by and that you’re recovering. Hopefully it won’t be long before you’re back out again. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hi Alistair. Wonderful view, brilliant walk and a mega summit snack. That was long on old pull up the Glen at the start. Great stuff mate, all the best, Dave 😀🥾⛰🏴🏴
I really wish I had taken the north side path, would have made a world of difference but in the end I forgot all about it after the second summit and the views it offered. Thanks for the comment Dave 😁
Wonderful video - engaging and great soundtrack. Did those two on a miserable day last year (couterclockwise) and crossed the river over a dodgy steel beam - presume it’s now gone but wouldn’t fancy doing that again. (We used rope to be on the safe side!). As for cream slices. / nice choice and good compensation for a 16 mile hike!
Forgot to mention a blank red orange screen with a capital T displayed appeared twice when you showed the OS map on the video not sure whether it’s my TV cheers
I missed most of the views when walking in because of the low lying cloud sadly, but I felt the rest of the walk made up for it. My bad on the orange screen!

Nice one, a great solo adventure.
Thank you
Lovely video dude! Great job! Hopefully catch you on a hill someday :)
I hope so too!

Thanks for uploading, Alistair. Good choice on the summit snacks. Hope the wee midges didn't get you too bad. 🏴🏔👍
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️ the summit snack lasted seconds, I wolfed it down. Midges weren’t as bad as they’ve been in the past thankfully
Awesome video Alistair as usual. Loved the drone shots and loved the summit snack. Well done.

Thanks Alan, the snack went down a treat even though it was well melted
Loving those drone shots. You didn't happen to get eyes on my crashed drone at the summit of Beinn Achaladair did you? 🤣Great video as ever 👍
Thank you! I didn’t see it unfortunately, think I would be pretty gutted to lose mine too.

There’s a brief glimpse of whats left of the beam in the video, its lying in the water now. Thank you for the kind words ☺️
@@HighlandHikers just as well. I reckon it was an accident waiting happen.
Well done Alistair, great video, you’re looking well 💪
Thank you 🙌 ☺️
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍3
Many thanks!

There’s also a clip on my channel of our night at the Gorton bothy the river crossings weren’t easy lol
Nice one Alistair 👍
