This genre of video is a gold mine ...not only for beginners ...but for individuals like myself in their 70+ years. Many of us didn't have the means, or the, access in the 50's and 60's for various reasons...including emigrating. Now we have the time and the aptitude with some legs left we aspire to come back to fulfill some of our ticks on the bucket list. Murray please continue. And Thank You for a wonderful video.

Excellent as always. Love the tagging of the background Mountains. 😍

Balm for the soul of this landlocked Dutch highland lover. Thanks mate! Enjoy those walks with your son, they grow up so quickly! Memories to last a life time for all concerned.

Love your videos, but PLEASE name the mountain/hill in the description! Keep up the great work :)

"Jamp". Class!

A father and a son out in the mountains...........if its not in the Bible , it should be...........treasure it Murray. You never disappoint 👍👍👍

- Third video in a row touting ‘second breakfast’. That’s quickly becoming a trademark! 😆 - great to see the young man out with you again. Looks like some additional hiking poles might be showing up soon at the Wilkie house! - I really liked the first piece to camera at a little past the one minute mark, with the focus centered on the backpacks. It gave the background mountains a dreamy quality. ATB

Hi Murray, good to see you out with your son. I'm still climbing with mine and he is 47, me I'm 70 may have mentioned it before. Two weeks ago we did Beinn Dearg (Ullapool) and Cona' Mheall via Choire Ghranda, great views over Assynt on the ascent of Beinn Dearg. Regards, stay safe

Hasn't the weather been absolutely amazing for views ! Just did a very elongated version of the west highland, spent 12 days and did a lot of climbs along the way getting spectacular views from every summit, just fantastic to be out there again on my own completely switching off. Home with all the aches & pains now but well worth it.

Well done Murray, superb

Excellent as always

Amazing walk, Murray. I'm adding this one to my list for next summer! Gorgeous views!

Another stunning walk, the sun is so rewarding when it decides to peak through. I love the rugged landscape, gave me goosebumps seeing that moody sky overhead watching over this incredible ancient land. Your narration captures the mood so perfect;y, thank you for taking us along!

Just stumbled across this video, will need to look at more of your fantastic work. Me and the dog spent a couple of days climbing the Arrochar Alps last year, so was good to see where we were from a different perspective. I’m from up in Morayshire so camped at the campsite in Arrochar, lovely little site.

Dad and Son day in the mountains Murray, is there anything better than just spending a day with your Son. It's the one thing I really enjoy be it out hiking or out on the bikes with mine. Wonderful video Murray. Thanks as always for sharing. Take care and ATB.

Thank you for this video! I did this same hike, north ridge of Beinn an Lochan, back in 2010, also in May - it snowed a bit! But this video records the views much better than my snapshots did, and I like that you identified the mountains in the view! I knew about the Cobbler and Beinn Ime, but didn’t realize I could see Ben Lomond!

Your footage is looking beautiful and crisp 👌

Excellent video as usual, thanks for sharing the views some of us don't get to see. Lewis looks a natural like his dad

I always enjoy your videos and this one hasn't disappointed either. I've set myself a personal challenge to wild camp all UK National Parks this year (for no reason other than just because I want to). Being one of the great unwashed from south of the border and not knowing Scotland too well for wild camping, I was wondering where to go for Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, but now I think I have found it. Thanks so much for the inspiration and keep the stunning work coming. McDonalds! Really! Burger King all the way my friend :-D

This also reminded me of helping with my local Scout troop taking Scouts up Ben Nevis when one boy who’d had enough and wanted to turn back was motivated to keep going with the “promise” of a Big Mac at the Summit McDonalds🤪

Love camping on the summit..One of my favourite mountains 😁👍..Iam the same as you done it 4 times and only had a view once which was the one I camped on 😃

Great video Murray got told about this 1 a few weeks back comes highly recommended got some great views of it recently whilst up the cobbler where was your starting point for the hike ? A McDonald’s in Balmaha ? Balloch only reason i know that is that we popped into it for a breakfast before heading up the cobbler last week and it hit the spot will use it again 😊 Loving the Arrochar Alps a fantastic place to hike will get to Beinn An Lochain soon cheers mate 👍

Awesome & the photographs are out of this world!! Honestly you should do a Scottish mountain photography book,your pics are unique as you have photographs through all four seasons plus nighttime too..get it done it'll be a best seller!! 📖

There are certainly parts of this mountain that, under snow, would definitely require some mountaineering with axe and crampons - some long run outs in places and can be a bit gnarly ! however on a fine spring day its a lovely wee hike ;) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

Great video - Love all your videos! I think we may consider trying this one in a few weeks as we are coming over from the states to visit Scotland in a few weeks. We are hiking Bidean Nam Bian (I've done that one before), Suiliven, and probably Stac Pollaidh. Would you possibly recommend a few more hikes? We are looking for some epic hikes Scotland is known for without intense exposure similar to Bidean which was a real challenge but never felt too scary. An Teallach, Cullin Ridge, and Ring of Steall sound a little beyond us with Aonach Eagach a for sure NO. Anyway - if you have a couple recommendations similar to Suilven or Bidean that would be great - thank you.

I nearly died on this hill last year (day before lockdown started) in March 2020, thinking the snow wouldn't be too bad. No ice axe or crampons. I stupidly kept going through the section at 4:20 following old footsteps and realised I had no option but to go the whole way to the top as downclimbing would have been fatal. I then slowly clambered up the second big snowfield to the summit, by which point I was in the clear. Again one slip could have been death. Learned my lesson!

Glad you got back down ok - as with many of the mountains they take on a different character when the snow hits and winter kicks in - something that’s a nice we ramble on the summer can be a bit more mountaineering like in the winter .

I enjoyed this vlog with some stunning photography and views - but I was screaming with frustration at the screen, because you did not name the mountain in the title, description or even in the vlog, until you arrived at the summit. Torture indeed! I climbed it in the 1970s when it was still a listed summit, but my Munro days are long over.

What munro is this then ?
