    I enjoyed Ben a Chroin and An Castiel a lot, some good tricky enough scrambling. Even though the visibility was about 20 metres when I did it. Not sure if it's less or more scary, just looking down into a cloud😁

    Cracking day James. I love hills like the second one with lots of wee tops on, somehow feels really satisfying going over them all, and wandering around for different views. Good stuff, cheers.

    Well worth the 3 hr drive from Inverness. Great views and great weather. Once again thanks for all your efforts to help us to join you on your Munro journey. You will never know how much pleasure and satisfaction we receive each time we view your videos. Like life Slioch was a disappointment but think of all you achieved. Navigating your climb through thick mist etc and still getting to the top. Well done and all strength to your elbow. Look forward to your next video Phillip Earnshaw.

    Did these 2 back in early Feb. Admittedly from a significantly smaller sample of just 13 munros, these 2 have been my favourite day out by an absolute mile so far. Have you done Ben More and Stob Binnein yet? They're 2 that are reachable in a day for me from Uni, but have only heard bad things about the climb. The views of Ben More during this walk only enhances that feeling, so just curious what your opinion of them is if you've done them - just realised James said said he hasn't done them so this question applies to anybody willing to answer? And as always fantastic vid, this is my favourite channel right now!

    What you see on Ben More and Stobinian is what nyou get - a good physical workout with great views inthe right conditions. The southern Munros are characterised by much more climbing than the north due to the dearth of ridgelines.
