- This walk takes in the three Munros on the north side of Glen Dessarry, Sgurr nan Coireachan, Garbh Chioch Mhor and Sgurr na Ciche, from the car park at the west end of Loch Arkaig..... still has to be the worst road in Scotland.
A superb weather day with very little wind. Just doesn't get any better.
A proper hill walk. I did the route CW but did not have the views you got. Only the long roller coaster drive along Lock Arkaig puts me off doing it again.
Great weather for another big day...I had similar weather for my traverse of these hills plus Sgurr Mhor and Sgurr an Fhurain (I'd camped at Sourlies) back in May 2015 .
Thanks for sharing your superb day!
Cheers Alistair 👍
Hi Alistair, As you'll know its just a terrific area, particularly when the weather is clear and bright. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
Charlie having watched all your videos, some more than once this has to be one of my favorites! Those views and the colours were amazing! Need to watch again when I visit though! Brilliant mate! Simply stunning…Paul
Hi Paul, Many thanks. You just can't fail when you're in Knoydart and the weather being so good... just tremendous. The views are looking great on the big screen TV. I think we are due a soaking soon.... LOL. Cheers, Charlie.
What a fantastic day you had on some of my favourite hills. Beautifully shot and edited video as usual. Did the ridge from Sgurr Mor in similar conditions and camped on Garbh Chioch Mor. Unparalleled views of the islands from Sgurr na Ciche and as you say, every hill showing. The wall raises so many questions though. Who made it and why??? (You could have started the video with the drive along Loch Arkaig as a public service warning!)
Hi Norman, That bloody road, I don’t think I’d manage any video work without being sick😂. You know it’s a terrific area but when the weather is like this it’s absolutely stunning. Cheers, Charlie
Your „Sgurr na Chiche-Video“ is so outstanding and the views are so fabulous. As you summitted Sgurr na Chiche I immediately recognized Beinn Sgritheall (a hike we made after watching your „Beinn Sgritheall-Video“). Great to see :-)
Hi Wolfgang, Good to hear from you. Yes, a cracking outing to this group which has always been kind to us. Many thanks, Cheers, Charlie
Brilliant Charlie and Mike. 😎👌 Yis are a couple of machines. Still to do these Hills. Defo be looking at this vid again before I do.
Hi Kev, You'll certainly enjoy these tops I'm sure as the mountain and sea landscape is just stunning. Cheers, Charlie
I really have got to say this. There are loads of hill walking videos on You Tube. But this one would be a good candidate for the gold-medal. Superb. I climbed this in 1982, from Barrisdale (agreed not the best approach), and the weather was not good. Tough country, and I was exhausted. What is that wonderful pointed peak in the distance at 3:03, Sgurr an Fhurain?
Hi Malcolm, Many thanks for your positive comment. The rough bounds are well named and these tops take a bit more than normal to get onto the tops. Walking from Barrisdale certainly adds another dimension to the day...lol. Many thanks for tagging along. Cheers, Charlie.
What a wonderful day in the mountains, thanks for recording it so others may enjoy it! I’m always amazed by those stone walls built up in the hills, thinking of the all the hard labor involved!
Hi Jakollee, I’ve always assumed the walls were a way to keep the estate workers busy in quiet times but I’m not sure. Either way, it’s a massive achievement for very little gain. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
beautiful video as always! Scotland is the most beautiful country in the world, thank you!
Hi Matteo, Scotland was certainly looking its best during our outing. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
Never seen the Rough Bounds looking so benign. Terrific video as usual. Thanks.
Hello, We were just waiting for the right forecast to complete these three and fortunately the summer provide a few opportunities to enjoy the views to the full. Cheers, Charlie
Hey Charlie, you certainly got some good weather for the hike, stunning views at the tops, well done guys,
Hi James, We've always been luck with these tops and had good views and this outing was no exception. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
Hi Charlie fantastic video I did these hills and. Ben Aden earlier this year it was a tough circuit but simply amazing we camped at foot of Ben Aden thanks keep the video’s coming it’s great for me as I am a long way south from Scotland in South Wales and it’s nice to see the Highlands each week cheers Andy
Hi Andy, Sounds as if you had a cracker earlier this year. Its an terrific area but the walking isn’t easy on the rough terrain. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
a great part of the country, last time I was there , stayed for 3 nights and did not see anyone, many thanks for sharing. ATB
Hi John, You right, it certainly is a terrific area. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
Simply stunning Charlie, fantastic timing for me as I’m hoping to do this in August.. you got a great day, the colours at this time of year make it look incredible! Thanks for the video 😁
Cheers, James
Hi James, It was a cracking day. I would suggest not spoiling them in iffy weather as you’ll appreciate what is expect from the tops. Have a great one when it comes around and enjoy the drive in 😂. Cheers, Charlie
What a day and video, one word AWSOME !!! Ian Dundee
Hi Ian, Your spot on... it just doesn't get much better than this. Cheers, Charlie
Superb, absolutely superb. What stunning mountains and views
Hi Andrew, Glad you enjoyed our latest outing. Many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 always cracking films 👌
👏👏👏 was up that way earlier in the year, loved it
Hi Barrie, Glad you enjoyed a wee look back to you trip. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
What a day you got for it.
It's a fantastic day out that.
Done it back in July so it was good to see someone else's take it on it 👍
Hi Stevie, It was a cracking day in a terrific area as you know. We always enjoy this day but the journey along the loch is a nightmare. Congratulations on your completion a few months back, well done, a great achievement. Cheers, Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 thanks very much mate.
Cracking views from up there.
Worth the long drve🤣
Charlie, just absolutely marvellous, what a beautiful country we live in eh. Incredibly stunning views everywhere, thanks for taking us on this journey, looking forward to doing these one day.

Frank 👍🏔🥾
Hi Frank, You can’t fail when the weather is so good and combined with sea and mountain landscape. These are rough hills but I’m sure you’ll enjoy your outing when you get around to them. Cheers, Charlie
Epic walk Charlie scenery stunning !!! Sgurr na ciche my first Munro done via loch nevis by boat 1981 whilst adventure training with army 👍
Hi Alan, What a great way to approach the hill which would all add to the experience. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
Well, Charlie, this video brings back some memories. Sgurr na Ciche is one of my favourite hills first seen in a photograph in the SMC Western Highlands guide book some 50 years ago. Saw and admired it regularly during my time as a Customs Officer in the 1980's when, based in Fort William, I regularly had to board foreign factory fishing ships anchored in Loch Nevis processing mackerel supplied by the local trawlers. Finally climbed the mountain from Strathan and Glen Dessarry in 1984 when the paths were less developed than they are now (the road was no better then!). Repeated the ascent in August 1990 when I was chased home late in the evening by hoards of rampant midges. Always loved the view of Loch Nevis from the summit which, unlike the paths, thankfully will never change. Thanks for posting and bringing the memories back to life as my poor quality photographs taken at the time of my ascents did not do justice to the views. All the best, Ian
Hi Ian, What a superb area to work and experience the changing landscapes. We’ve always been fortunate with views from Sgurr na Ciche on previous visits and it has to be one of Scotlands finest. Great that you got a wee memory burst from our visit yesterday. Cheers, Charlie
Wonderful and spectacular views. A pleasure to watch. Many thanks. Mike
Hi Mike, Many thanks for taking the time to view yesterdays outing. It was a cracker… Cheers, Charlie
What a grand day oot,Charlie. Superb view of many summits.
For some reason I did these three separately, the first two from Glen Dessary. That road is scary with its blind summits. Nearly brought up my breakfast!
Did Sgurr na Ciche from the west almost exactly twenty years ago on a day like you had. Remember skinny dipping in a wee lochan on the way doon.
Thanks very much.
Hi Geoffrey, Great memories from your previous visits. I think it took me fourth trip along that road before I wasn’t sick… it’s a killer. The only problem skinny dipping now a days is that someone will catch you and have it online before your home 😂😂. Cheers, Charlie.
Nice one guys. Lovely looking rocky hills, and a great day for them. Cheers. 👍
Hi. Andy, The roughbounds are well named and have tops that aren’t easily bagged. A great day even taking the road along Loch into account. Cheers, Charlie
spectacular.
Hi Paul, Many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers, Charlie
Fantastic video again! The views are stunning and as ever you make it look easy. We were up in Glen Etive on Saturday on Stob Coir’an Albannaich but didn’t make it to Meall Nan Eun as the weather was grim. My hundredth Munro though so that was something. All the best and thanks again for a fabulous film! Murdo
Hi Murdo, Congratulations on your 100. Its alway a great feeling to get into three figures. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.
Wonderful again gents. Stunning views. Thanks for sharing your day as always.
Hi Dave, It was some day for this area. The views are breathtaking. Cheers, Charlie.
Hi Charlie, what a amazing place, them views were fantastic, pleased you got a mist free day! Best wishes mark Shaw.
Hi Mark, Knoydart is quite a special area as the hills are rough and take a wee bit more effort than others. Cheers, Charlie.
What a day you had for these three. It's about 18 years since I did these but I'll be revisiting this year with a friend who hasn't done them, so your video is a timely reminder of what they're like.
Hi Alan, Hope you have a similar weather day when it comes around. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
Fabulous day and stunning scenery, am sure you both enjoyed your day oot 😎
Hi Craig, it was a stunning day right from the start. A bit surprised how many walkers were about enjoying these beauties. Thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers, Charlie
absolutely brilliant, thanks for this. always look forward to your films :)
Hi Major Nova, Glad you enjoyed it and many thanks for taking the time to view our recent outing. Cheers, Charlie
Super video Charlie. What a day. Did the 2nd and 3rd ones from Sourlies nearly 30 years ago having kayaked with a friend half way up Loch Morar, carried the kayak (yes) over to Tarbet and then paddled up to Sourlies. What a trip.
Hi Evan, That sounds like an epic trip that has lasted long in your memory. That's quite a kayak carry....great stuff. Cheers, Charlie.
@@charliemccartney7055 It was Charlie and the midgies fair enjoyed the evening at Sourlies!
Incredible views! What a day! 👍
Hi Gavin, Glad you enjoyed our latest outing and many thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers, Charlie
Cracking footage Charlie! Always intrigued by these walls over the ridge - the effort that would have gone into that! Still looks in reasonable nick too
Hello, I’ve always thought the walls were simply to keep the workers busy during quiet periods but I’m not sure. They are amazing but it seems a lot of effort for little gain. Cheers, Charlie
@@RedScotland I think they are more likely boundary markers ?
Brilliant Charlie were heading there on Saturday
Hi John, I really hope you have a similar day to us yesterday. Enjoy...... Cheers, Charlie.
Beautiful views!
Hi Tom, Many thanks for taking the time to view our latest outing. Cheers, Charlie
