Kids on Crags

Scottish hill, waterfalls and beach walks with young kids giving hints and tips on what might be possible (a guide only every kid is different). Includes Munros, Corbetts, Grahams and any good fun hills as well as longer walks and time finding beaches. As always be safe and go well prepared.

    Well done!😀💯👍👍 I would think carrying a pair, or at least one hiking stick would help her confidence. Sticks certainly are a huge help if one slips or stumbles. Keep at it young lady. You willlove it. I LOVED my time in Scotland in 1997. I did three Munroes. Slioch, Bein Eighe, and of course Ben Nevice. DO NOT feel bad about the "bum shuffle". Been there and done that many times :) including this hike on Mt Reynolds in Glacier Park. 😎😎 The very end of the video is at the summit 9329ft kzread.info/dash/bejne/n3yq3KWLgNbKfsY.html

    It's a nice wee walk on a sunny day. If you had carried on to the rail bridge you would have got to the famous inn mentioned in 'Kidnapped' by RLS and 'Antiquary' by Sir Walter Scott, its the Hawes Inn not the Ferry Tap. Another nice walk from South Queensferry is to Cramond through Dalmeny estate. Time it right for the tide and get over to the Island as well.

    That looked absolutely amazing! I love a temperature inversion but have very seldom had one on the hills. I'd have definitely wanted my ice axe with me for that. My Ben Lomond experience is unusual. It was my first Munro - climbed overnight. I've been up it three times but I've never been in Rowardennan. All my climbs of it have been from the east side, joining the main path about 2/3 of the way up.

    I've been enjoying your videos since I found you a couple of weeks ago or so. I made a mistake on Meall Buidhe one February day. A friend and I had climbed Stuchd an Lochain, gone round the far end of Loch an Daimh (lots of deer, as befits its name) and climbed Meall Buidhe from the west. The ridge was in cloud and I hadn't noticed we'd turned to the east, so instead of dropping down towards Coire nan Miseach we came down into Glas Choire. Light was fading and the moorland wasn't easy going, but we made it back to the car with the very last of the light. I didn't need my head torch to find the road but I did need it to see the lock on the car. We had plenty food and clothing, and it wasn't freezing, but I was glad to make it back when we did.
