- As the battle ensues between the might Scotch Egg and Pork Pie, the small matter of The Devil's Ridge needed some attention before the debate continued. A winters day in The Mamores.

Pork pie!
Lovely video, thank you. I pass them on to an elderly lady who can’t get out to the country she spent decades walking, and it really cheers her up. 👍
Love this - thank you so much - hope your friend enjoys the video and please thank her from me for watching them :)
Thanks for watching

Another great adventure, very entertaining, thank you very much, Murray! The Devil‘s Ridge looks very frightening, in deed - not my cup of tea. So it becomes even more precious for me to take part in your walks and the scrambles by watching your footage - very much appreciated!
Pork pie brown sauce and midget gems
Great lighthearted video
Another fantastic adventure Murray, popped this on the big screen at the weekend. Absolutely incredible views, we were watching through our hands when you were climbing that Ridge though 😳🙈. Your banter with Gerry always makes us chuckle, you two should have your own TV show😆👍. We have to side with Gerry on the artisan pork pie and iron bru jelly babies though (incidentally we found bags of iron bru jelly babies for 79p in our local home and bargains last week, we bought 7 bags so we are stocked up for summer!😆👍🍬). Thanks for taking us to see these stunning landscapes once again, epic as always😊👌
If you had Gala pie it's a bit of each..
I luv any jelly babies..but I bite of all the heads first lol..
And that ridge looked so scary, weldone all of you doing it..

Aye post watching , what a view but those scrambling bits ,I was like Not for me thanks , that's why we watch Murray, so we don't have to risk that much.. 😉 another much loved video thanks guys .
Brilliant Murray😁👍Cracking mate .I love the old Scotch eggs 😁👌🏻.
Cheers
Robert
Beautiful place. Loved the banter.
Sum great views up there Murray.another great video. Time some company sponsored you with the Scotch eggs.
My knees were shaking just watching you up on the ridge! Amazing!
Love this but also look scary :) as a Munro bagger one day I will end up there. Thank you for the video - it will definitely help to get ready :)
Simply stunning!
Raw beetroot ( complex carb long acting) is cut into thin slices and Brazil nuts, dried organic mango with a mix of gofio ( which is a Spanish mix of all kinds of goodness which you just mix with water and squish it into balls you can add sultanas or raisins to it as well) I went on a 10 day climb in the caldera de tributante in La Palma and a bag of gofio and the dried fruit was all my body needed, each to their own though, that’s what I say , devils ridge looked like it deserved the name, brilliant video, thank you so much. Old owl 🦉 uk.
Cheers again Murray ,best watch in 2023 ( HYN BTW ) - pork pie every time for me , jelly babies I'm not fussed about ( I'd probably have a bar of Aero chocolate with me ) atb Wullie
First things first: pork pie.
Brilliant little tour! Thanks for this piece, the pictures are astounding.
I did this last winter, when it was covered in snow. Seeing now what the alternative to the bypass is, I am glad to have followed my judgement to not explore it.
Hoping to get back to Scotland soon to bag some more Munros!
Scariest one I've seen, especially when it was so icy. Had to close my eyes once or twice! Fantastic place though, wonderful views, and I could feel the exposure. Thanks for the experience in my living room, we have a big screen and projector so it's very real.
Brilliant, great looking ridge. Pork Pie for me and I do happen to have some Iron Brew jelly babies 😁
Bloody hell, that footage from above on the "pinnacle scramble"! "it looks worst than it was"😂😲👏
Ah Murray😳lovely, lovely views, but l will not be going on the Devils Ridge. I was cringing just watching your vid! Ahhhhhh!!!!❤️🏴
Great video! That light looked sublime on the ridge!
Really enjoyed this as ever it brings back memories of many long happy days on the hill when I lived in the highlands!
Another excellent video, thanks Murray
did the jaggy ridge a few years ago, but i was gripping onto my couch for your scramble there !
Absolutely fantastic video Murray, brought a huge smile to my face 👍☺️
I miss the hills.
Thoroughly enjoyed this Murray, what a breathtaking place and great chat to boot. Afternoon coffee viewing at it's finest ☕ Cheers!
Derek
Fantastic place and photography and company... thank you
Great video as usual. I really look forward to Wednesdays and a new Steaming Boots vlog. The cloud boiling off the Devils Ridge is amazing!
You do bring the best out of each other.... Again... Smiling all the way through another adventure.. Thank you for sharing your experiences.. Cheers - Pork Pie 'n' Broon sauce... 😇
Great winter adventure. You made me hungry with all your chat about scotch eggs. Happy new year.
Another entertaining adventure in the mountains. Looks fabulous.
Wish I was there.
Thank you for taking us along on this amazing adventure! And what a camera angle! Love your debates over food, although I don’t understand everything you say, but I get the main parts👍😊
pork pie with an egg in the middle is the way to go. great video.
Superb!
Another fantastic video: the views are stunning and your healthy snack recommendations were fun to listen to. 😉
There is a quiet parking spot on the back road from Banavie to Glen lochy or the waterfalls car park on the Loch Archaig is a nice quiet spot.
Another great hike Murray.👍 Not been in the Mamores for a while, so was great to see these fantastic mountains again. My vote is for the pork pie! ATB Derek
good one Murray, Pork pie for me every time. your walk today was my "first" winter/snow walk/ mountaineering with a very experienced companion to show me the ropes. (over 40 years ago) I often look back on it. Many thanks for sharing. ATB
Another fantastic video with stunning views. Thanks again for letting us share in the adventure Murray, Gerry & Mark! My local Lidl leaflet says Irn Bru Jelly Babies available from Thursday 19th January but only for a week or so? Finally a chance to see these mythical creatures! :)
a trip to Lidl on the 19th I think :)
Thanks for watching

Pork pie = Scotch egg. Quality video as always
Heebie-jeebies with that 360° camara. Scotch egg was a go to when I was walking up the burn with the fly rod.
Another great route 👌 97 I think I was there

I grew up there .Just great 🤗
Walked that for the first time last summer. 5 Munros In reverse of this route doing the Ring of Steall. It was a glorious sunny day for the most part until a storm blew in just as we got to the start of the Devils Ridge. Thunder, High Wind, Heavy Rain & Poor Viz on really exposed ground. We were ready to abort at one point until it passed after about 30/40 mins and we grabbed the window of opportunity to get ourselves over the Ridge and onto our 5th Munro and down off the mountains. A great day that I won't forget. But heart in mouth stuff at one point.
Nice video Murray. It’s a draw with pork pies and scotch eggs 😂
Cracking video Murray, the 360 video going over the rocky bits was cool. For me it has to be winner, winner, Scotch Egg dinner
Cracking video as ever guys. Sorry Murray, Gerry wins 2-0 with his Irn Bru Jelly Babies and his Artisan Pork pie. Thanks for sharing your days adventure as always, wonderful views. 😀🥾⛰🏴
Never - scotch eggs 🥚 superior in every way 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
Those Irn Brew jelly babies are amazing and so addictive.
Nearly had to shut my eyes watching this one Murray! Those camera shots when you were scrambling had me on the edge of my seat. I would have to say the pork pie looked the better choice for appealing sustenance this time!!
Great vid!
I did it last September in good weather and it seemed pretty straightforward for any experienced walker.
A different prospect of course when it is icy!
That was a really nice hike..and with friends!
I know the camera distorts the images but it sure gave me the willies when you were climbing up and hugging the rock to get around it!
Such a contrast in colours from green grass, frosty grounds and the rusts and browns of the dead grasses
I also like the way the sun hits the mountain tops..nice contrast
Well done video🇨🇦❤️
Thanks Sue, the light coming back down was really lovely as it speckled the landscape - really nice when thatt happens :)

The trumped analogy with irn-bru(orange)jellys😂😂😂
LOL ......Great video .....
No thanks, you can keep your scotch egg and pork pie 😂. The still images were fantastic. That camera made the ridge walk look daunting, I'd do it for the views but I think I'd be quietly packing it lol. Thank you for taking us along.
the 360 camera makes it look worse than it is Lisa - still not a place to slip or trip though!! The views are indeed rather nice around this area and we got lucky with some amazing light at the end of the day too :)

Hi Murray, I love watching your videos first thing in the morning, here in Australia, they always put me in a good mood for the day. Brilliant videography. I am surprised that you're able to do these walks in winter. I always get a chuckle out of Gerry, his offer to give you one Jelly Baby, jokingly generous.
I am hoping he offers me two jelly babies on the next outing to keep me going!!lol
Thanks for watching

Murray
Sadly my hill walking days are over but usually my lunch of choise was malt loaf and cheese, perhaps you gents culinary preferences are more trendy than mine, but the peaaa gets my vote.
Brilliant video Murray! Scotch Egg for me , normally with a wee dram and a crisp or ham sandwich. Oh of course and plenty jelly babies (type one diabetic).
Tough decision but I've found the Pork Pie to be more robust for a mountain day. Awesome ridge, it's on my list.
Sorry Murray, Pork pie but the type with darker meat not the pink meat! Cracking vid as always, cheers.
WTF....Irn Bru Jelly Babies?! I need those in my life! And sorry Murray, I'm a pork pie man. lol Food aside, that looked like a cracking walk...even the slightly sketchy bits. :-)
once you have tried the Irn Bru jelly babies Julian - there's no turning back!!lol
@@ScotlandsMountains Where do you get them? I'll need to track them down when I'm next in the homeland!
I'm team scotch egg personally. My snack of choice is home bargains 29p flapjacks, 500 calories and easy to eat. Knowing my luck if I remortgaged my house to buy a farmhouse pork pie it would be crushed and soggy at the bottom of my rucksack.
Ring of steall one of my favourites, done it on a very hot summers day. On the bucket list to try it in winter. Great video 👍
I used to love pork pies from the butcher in Kilworth Leicestershire and the Scotch pies from the shop in Claggan at the foot of Ben Nevis. Now I live down south again I enjoy the Gala pies from Byfords in Leigh on Sea which are a nice cross of a pork pie with a boiled egg in it.
Great footage, especially from 9:25 to 10:55
The Mamores have so many alternative routes and combinations but it's also a great ridge for a wild camp and adding the Grey Corries makes it an epic round trip.
The views looked amazing as did Gerrys Pork 🥧.The weather looked perfect for walking as there was very little wind noise and the ridge looked perfect for a winter stroll.
I have to pick a scotch egg for me as they fit perfectly in my backpack side pockets and easy to digest so I'm in the Scotch egg Clang.
The Scotch egg gang welcome you in to their fold ;)lol

Had some nice mini Pork Pies with Pickle inside too recently,they were braw,but a Scotch Egg with Black Pudding instead of meat is a different level 👌
Superb shots on the ridge, the camera angle made it look even more tricky .
the 360 (and action cams ) do tend to skew the footage and make things lot alot steeper TBH, still not a place to slip !
Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
Superb video. I've always wondered what that ridge is actually like. Definitely one to do. The mini pork pie is a thing of wonder. I often pick them up when cycling. Eat one or two, stuff the rest in a pocket and eat on the move! Not sure that's so easy with a Scotch Egg. 😀
Scotch eggs every time. Dogs get the pork pies. Great video. Relived great memories of the Devils ridge. Thanks heaps
Keep "fannying about with the camera" Murray. 😂 Cracking route. Done the ring of steall race a few times so always done the devils ridge the opposite way and as you come to the crux move first, kinda forgot about the slab downwards. Funny how the same route is so different in the opposite direction.
I thought your pork pie was Sgúr á Mháin being 1.5 klm from the car park 🤣🤣 Great video as usual 👍. I was there solo on Sunday with a lot more snow from 700m so gave DR a rain check. Scotch egg -v- Pork pie! oooooh a tricky one, could take a beer or two in the boot bar to figure out.
You should change your logo to something similar to the Disney logo with a mountain but a big ol scotch egg in the background instead of a ring of stars!
Tough decision, but I'd say watching the video the sight of Gerry's Porky Pie had my tummy grumblin more than the Tesco Scotch Egg!
Great video as always, have to say the crux footage was intimidating!!!
Managed to do the Ring of Steall in August last year Murray and it was one of my most enjoyable days in Scotland's Mountain's 🏔️ lovely sunshine 😎 and stunning views in every direction 👌 I clambered up to have a look on the crux of the Devil's Ridge 👿 but quickly retreated back onto the bypass 😂 Great video as per , good banter and as far as the food debate is concerned, I'm with you Scotch Egg all day long 👌 atb Brian 👍
Great episode again, Pork pie for me 🙌
That view from the Ridge and there you are holding your poles too. Thank you for the epic hike. Pork Pie wins for me.
Scotch egg! They always sound so good. I can’t find them where I live so I found a recipe and made them at home one weekend. Perfect trail snack!
they are indeed a fine snack on the hill - my favourite - I am going to have to try them with ketchup next time though :)lol

We’ll have to chip in to get Mark his own mic! Maybe a GoFundMe? 😉😆.
Take care, and ATB
Thanks for another fine video.
I'll go with the Scottish eggs for during a hike.
Murray…. My wife’s deciding factor….what. Is the mileage per pork pie as opposed to scotch egg ?.? Regards brown or re sauce…. Depends on the situation ( or what’s available). Another brilliant video from Steaming Boots 🏴🥃🏴🥾🥾
Murray, I'd err on the side of caution and pack Tesco Scotch eggs AND a bag of artisan pork pies for mains, with regular AND Irn Bru jelly babies for dessert. You never know when you might need extra rations in the Scottish mountains, especially in winter...
thats a good point Andy - can never have enough food - might add some sausage rolls in there too ;)lol
Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
But were your pork pies artisan ? Haha..... Oh my l was holding my breath as you negotiated that tricky step bit, holding the camera too. Fabulas views and great photos as always. Thanks Murray. Oh, praps we should "Crowd fund" A Mike for Mark 😉😁
thats a good idea - a charity to hear Marks voice !!lol

Sublime walk with superb company. That 360 camera really accentuates anything that has no width and is pointy! Happy New Year to the three of you. Scotch eggs all the way...
glad you are in the Scotch Egg camp Jono - wasnt too sure if the debate would transcend to NZ :) Glad to know I'll be able to get some when I get down there for a holiday :)
Thanks for watching

@ScotlandsMountains Absolutely! Will have plenty on hand for you. We even have such mod cons as pork pies and flushing toilets... (hard to believe I know!). Knee feeling good. First hill walk in 10 months is planned for next weekend. I'm excited to say the least...
I can say, Tesco scotch eggs? Top notch!!! Personally a favourite even here in the south west English land
Great vid and views and def scotch eggs👍
Wonderful video. The lovely muted colours and the sun made a beautiful contrast. Ridge looked superb. Team Scotch Egg (not runny yolk)
welcome to the scotch egg gang - you have an elevated membership rating as you state no runny yolks ;)lol

Beautiful views of Scotland as always thank you Murray, Gerry, Mark absolutely stunning. Scotch Eggs every time 😁 those ones looked better, I remember those rank ones you had before. Artisan is too posh a word for me 🤣🤣 and I agree not as nutritious as a Scotch Egg.
all the nutrients you need - there must be a scotch egg diet fad somewhere out there !!lol
Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains I am pretty sure you are right about the diet 🤣
Fantastic vid guys and better you than me! If I'm up that high I like a nice big bit of mountain either side!! Scotchio Eggio for the win!
Scotch eggs all the way :) lol
Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
That's the easy bit! After you've done all the hard work!
Just WOW! 😀 have you ever worked out the extra distance (up and down) that you cover on each adventure to provide us with all the walk by shots?
Scotch Eggs for me 👌Another fantastic video, thank you!
Know Skinners of Kippen well 😄😄 used to live near Kippen. Best butchers ever
Pork Pie for a main snack and scotch egg for a snacket - both benefit from a sliver of sauce (red/brown, here we go) LOL
Never thought of either with sauce !! The debate begins 🤔😂
Great Vid as always, im with Gerry on that one 😂 fantastic hills, Devils Ridge was my first taste of exposure and keep I meaning to go back and go over the top..
Cheers, James
Thanks James - been really enjoying your videos - keep up the great work :)

Hi Murray, I thought you lads were getting in touch with your Italian sides and talking about nothing but food! That said everybody knows the real quality pies come from the Lochinver Larder
As always The Best Scenery! Keep up the good work....:)
They do have very fine pines indeed up in Lochinver - no doubt about it :) That's go me salivating thinking of the Lochiver pie!!

My wife and I went the other way round route from glen Nevis April 1995 on honeymoon after the day on the Ben Nevis in the deep snow the most azure blue cornice on top I'm 66 now and anitas56 living by the sea in Cornwall !!! Live life Too the full!!!
Porky pie for me. Forget the red or brown suace, each has there place. I may be Mr Contriversial here but highly recommend pork pie sliced with lots of branston pickle, pure delight. Scoth egg the work of the devil, although allowed if no pies.
Thanks for early 2023 upload....fine walk ....no hot drink?
Great video again….but it’s definitely the pork pie for me😋
I know this ridge far to well back in the 80s on winter mountain training I fell from top to bottom of the slope you described a a steep slope just be for the ridge proper , I definitely didn’t think I would make it that day. Painful.
Pork Pie or Scotch Egg. What a choice! Oh well I will need to have one of each :)
One of each works for me too (just don’t tell everyone I enjoy the odd pork pie !)
Thanks for watching
Murray
Another great video Murray.
Loved the banter with you and Gerry as usual.
Scotch Egg or Pork Pie, um both as i am greedy ha ha.
Irn Brew Jelly Babies sounds lush.
Did you get one from Gerry by the way.
The Devil's Ridge was definitely scary and the footage you took scrambling round the rock's made me feel as if i was going to fall off my seat lol.
You know what they say about Tesco, nothing ever helps.
Look forward to seeing your next adventure.
Aura Best and stay safe.
Thanks Tim - not too sure if I did get a irnbru jelly baby from Gerry or not!! I'll need to rectify that on the next trip!!lol

Naa no chance with the jelly babies , Maynards wine gums every time 👍
Pork pies are loaded with bad fats , I will take your scotch eggs first 👍
Have you ever tried the scotch eggs with a hint of Branston pickle( something like that anyway) in it , you can get them from Asda.
Its an easy ridge , I see the other two went around the bypass 😅
