This Mountain BROKE Me
And... I am now half-way to COMPLEATING the MUNRO's. 141 Down... 141 To Go!
These two Munros give one of the more challenging outings for baggers in this part of the Highlands, requiring experience as it crosses some potentially difficult pathless terrain. Creag Mhòr is steep and craggy on the ascent with much character; Beinn Heasgarnich is a fine viewpoint but has a tricky descent with vast areas of peat bog.

Well done on getting to the half way mark Calum. Great video - I did these two a few weeks ago and the ascent up to Beinn Heasgarnich almost ended me! Got the bogfest at the bottom during a hot spell so it was fairly forgiving. Good luck with the next 141 - upwards and onwards to compleation!

Thanks so much Mike. Awwww.. that ascent from the bealach to Heasgarnich will stay with me for all the wrong reasons haha! I think we timed the bog just right too, as some of it was dried out, whilst other bits were soggy. Cheers again fella!
Great effort men! Looked relentless at times! Well done for reaching half way in your bagging journey!

@@scottishtrails honestly… there was a lot of bog, but you can pick your way through if you are sensible. It’s consistently long… that’s the kicker, and that took me by surprise

Cheers pal :) What a feeling it is to be half-way. I've just about recovered now, and I can reflect on a what a privilege it is to be able to do what I do.
Great effort. I did them a couple of years ago on a day when the weather completely closed in. Navigation was really tricky, although the clouds lifted in time for us to see the second Munro from the bealach and realise how horribly steep and long it looked. Met some nice people and spent the day with them, so that was a consolation, but it was a massive day out. Great part of the country though. Well played. Best wishes Murdo

Cheers Murdo. Aye, massive day indeed. I'm super chuffed with myself thinking about it now, but at the time, it was painful. What a priviledge eh! Thanks for watching :)
Superb job.

Did these a few weekends ago Callum. Total bogfest 🙈😂

It would have been most unpleasant in a white-out. It wasn't too difficult to navigate to be fair, and I was very happy when the sun eventually did break through. Thanks for watching :)
Absolutely well done mate. Well done on the half way mark. I hope I get their one day. Am only sitting at 38 at the moment. I seen your post on Facebook on the I am bagging munro group. You speak so well to the camera. I wish I could speak so well lol. I usually do a silent hike and play some music on my videos. Well done. ATVB Alan
