Wish i'd done it this way around 😂 that walk back was a killer

Thank you ever so much again, James. Beautiful day - these fantastic greens. Very nice for me to watch, I have been to Ben Lawers twice and passed Loch Tay and Glen Lyon several times. In my memory I had such conditions only once. Kind regards from Germany, Martin.

Thanks for watching Martin 😁

The standard route is the easiest Munro I’ve done, left the car park and 7am and was on the summit before 8:30am, got a great day for it, could see Ben Nevis

Beautiful and not a soul anywhere. That little ridge was excellent.

Certainly is a cracking wee ridge James. Weather gods are Certainly shining on yourself 😊

Best save the ridge for a clear day, right decision 😁

Hi James, brilliant again, you certainly have been blessed with the weather again, but it’s not luck if you do your research before hand. We always prepare for bad weather but you never go out with the intention of looking for it. Bagging hills is hard we always want to see nice views as reward for your our efforts. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with us as always. Always enjoy watching. All the best Dave 😀⛰🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks Dave, I always do a fair bit of prep, I always pick the best day of the week to go out 😁 I want to see the views, otherwise I wont go 😂 I have been very fortunate with my days off this year.. thanks for watching, Cheers, James

Right James. Having watched many a KZreadr baggin Munros, I've decided I want to come with you on the fabulously sunny climbs thay you always seem to get. 😊 Although with my luck I suspect I would jinx that. Loving your channel. It's inspiring many future adventures for me.

Super video James, thanks.

What a grand short outing this is. Quite agree with you that it is an ideal beginner's route. It was one of my earliest and I have never forgotten it - there was no path then, although I saw more people that day than you appear to have done today.

Oh I miss those days but I experience them on many of the Grahams. Much lower, and pathless becomes grindingly tough.

James many years ago in winter my brother fell descending the steep section before the narrow summit ridge you went up had to get helicopter out he will do anything to get out of buying a round at the bar so you were right that section is an accident hot spot according to mountain rescue thanks for sharing

I thought it would be a different prospect in winter, thats a shame about your brother, its a fantastic ridge otherwise! Thanks for watching, James

Fantastic James.. you certainly are lucky lol I've been drowned when i spent 2 weeks in Scotland recently and still being poured on in Ireland since not to mention no paths over here and up to my eyes in ferns, holes and wet grass :). The inversions you get in Scotland :) we get them too but our peaks are too low to get above them haha so we're always clagged in. Please God tomorrow let me see some sun but at least your video tonight has shone some sunlight into Irish eyes :) thanks again James... M

Ah, another outing for the Jammie Bagger😂. I suspect there is meticulous planning behind your good weather fortunes but that doesn't make for such good banter. Forgive me. That is a great ridge but serious in winter in places.

Hello James, great video as usual.. Can I ask a question ? It seems like nowadays you prefer not to add the gpx on to the details.. Is this the new way of doing things because I was saving in order to literally follow in your footsteps and obviously is a very valuable informative invaluable and useable addition to your recoded journey.......
