Slioch was my first Munro, i was lucky with a calm clear day, its the views downwards to some lochs and lower mountains that are unbelievable. My 2nd was Ben Nevis which is like a walk in the park compared to Slioch, not done a 3rd.

Shame you never got the views James. I still have the pleasure of the mighty Slioch and hopefully when I do it I will get the views. 👍

Walked Slioch in mid nineties in late October. Fantastic mountain. We were really fortunate to experience a broochen spectre so whole experience etched in my memory. Great video.

Nae joy, man! If it's any consolation I got a bogus forecast on Friday for Bidein a' Chabair (one of the more remote Corbetts). Met Office said sunshine all day and got clag instead.

That's a beautiful area of Scotland shaped by Vulcanism, Ice, Wind, Water and Time and all too often hidden by mist. How unjust, but thank you for another reminder of how lucky we are to have this on our doorstep. Great video.

The torridonian sandstone was laid down underwater, and the land has since risen. Volcanoes have nothing to do with the landscape, but it is my favourite as well.

Such a shame you missed the views. I bagged Slioch last year before heading into Fisherfield and the view from the top are certainly a 10/10. My favourite mountain I think. Keep up the great work James, your videos are awesome. Paul.

Thanks Paul, can see why it must be your favourite, views to Fisherfield must be special. One I cant wait to revisit. Cheers, James

I absolutely loved this video! Hiking the Mighty Slioch in the Scottish Highlands looks like such an incredible experience. The scenery is just breathtaking and I love how you captured it all on camera. I'm so inspired to plan my own hike in the Scottish Highlands now. Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure with us!

What a gorgeous scenery my friend, these dramatic landscapes are phenomenal! 🔥🔥

Hi another great video, what day was you up as was planning to try next at the end of the week, I remember last year i meet you on the Grey Corries and then again a few weeks later on the wee Buachaille, and was thinking to myself am sure i have meet this guy before , until i seen your videos then the penny dropped,, anyway cracking video 🙂 cheers james,

The view I've had from pretty much most of the Munros I've done so far!!!

Slioch is a serious undertaking, particularly in winter. The classic view from the west side of Loch Maree takes some beating. I did it in December back in 1989 and the views were very similar to yours. We were in Torridon last year and walked up onto the high ground to the view point of the Beinn Eighe NNR., where there is also a great view of Slioch as well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one James, shame the cloud didn't lift. I've done Slioch a couple of times and loved arriving in the corrie, another world for sure. If you get some clear skies next time the second top around the ridge is well worth a visit too. ATB.

This is a totally random question, but out of all these videos I've always been left wondering- where did you get those stunning pants? It seems like they've got abrasion resistance in all the right places compared to the usual ones you find (which just have it on the knees, for some reason, rather than shins or thigh area.)

That’s some commitment to creating quality content, to ditch your camera and do some walkthrough shots, & head back to get your kit. Especially when you cross the wooden bridge a couple of minutes in.
