Hey all, stoked to finally finish this one up. Took a while with all the sketches, but glad I did them. This footage was a pain to stabilize as the wind here was seriously nuts and I apologize for some jittery shots :/. Hope you enjoy! PS: I've been wanting to add a few more GoPro / color grading tutorials in the future in addition to the hiking stuff.

Fantastic. I love that yellow-green grass up in the alpine zone. It feels quintessentially U.K.

Beautifully done video and fantastic sketches! Well done!

Beautiful footages 👍You nailed the spirit of one of my Happy Place in Scotland but as you said don't let you fool by the proximity of the ski resort as you're on your own up there and can have severe weather condition year round on a blink of an eye!

Thank you! Yes, if I had more footage, I was debating on going into Cairgorm Plateau accident from 1971. Truly an awful story and really shows you the power of the conditions up there.

@@cyruscrossan Was a very poor judgement call from the 2 "leaders" to go there with kids in the winter as it's so exposed with no escape route at all 😔I will think twice and chose a 3 days perfect window at least to even try to go there! They even demolish the shelter there to supress the false sense of security as believe me you will never ever found it in a whiteout condition anyway! It's like toundra artic condition and mountaineers going to big expedition like Everest go there for training in harsh condition!

Very nice place and wonderful video! I'm going there in September. This channel needs to grow up, it's very good. You have a new one subscriber.

Thanks for watching! And that's awesome, it's a great place for sure, I wish I had more than a day there, lots to explore. Hope you enjoy your trip.

Cy, your award-deserving videos are splendid nature documentaries like this one on your hike to Cairn Gorm with its rare geographical landforms like the alpine semi-tundra plateau you described and your amazing artistic ability to catch these unique forms on paper! You are an awe-inspiring adventurer with your intelligent insights and depth of appreciation of nature. Happy Birthday and hope your birthday is as amazing as the inspirational nature around your hiking!

Wow, dude. Are you kidding with this footage? I know Scotland must make it a little easier, but this is just GORGEOUS! And especially the animals. The "wooly cows" are so amazing. This is so, so great. And again, your sketches are awesome. Your videos just keep getting better and better!

Cy thanks for this video. My family and I are going to Scotland in a couple of weeks. Is there a way to hike to the first Monroe and go back. I would love to summit one mountain in Scotland. But I don’t have a whole day to hike 7miles. How long do you think it would talk to hike to the first Cairn? 3 hours round trip?

How long would it take you to hike up there. The funicular used to take people up to the ski lodge but it isn’t working now. I would love some advice. Thanks.

Yeah you just don't keep going on the path after making it up to Cairn Gorm, just turn around and head back towards the ski area. Yes, Cairn Gorm is the first one after the lodge. I think it takes about an hour and some change, half of the walk to Cairn Gorm is walking up the actual ski area though.

You could also hike the trail in reverse, here's the AllTrails, trail: www.alltrails.com/trail/scotland/highlands/cairngorm-northern-corries-rim?u=i&sh=xhrxan Have a great time! Definitely bring a jacket even in the summer as it's cooler and windier up there and it can always rain.
