I was up Beinn Dorian and Beinn Dothaidh today. The weather was out of this world (or not Scottish anyway) 🏴

Good stuff mate glad you got some nice weather, this summer has been a bit of a let down in terms of weather so good to get a few good days.

@@ScottishSummiteer aye, you’re right, I went to numerous places after studying the weather to find mist. I was coming down from Conival (and a failed attempt of Ben More Assynt) and got talking to a nice French lady who lives in Falkirk, and was making the ascent around midday, I warned her of the mist and extreme wind . She told me that she starts her (summer) climbs around 11am, by the time she gets to the top the mist is burnt off. Sure enough, by the time I got back to my van, the mist was gone! I’ve got a totally different strategy now and she opened my eyes.

Yeh it’s hard to judge when to start the hike, but we tend to go for late morning/midday aswell for the same reason. Seems to be improving visibility throughout the day generally

Did a very similar route about 35 years ago when a friend and I had finished our GCSEs. We started in the same spot but took a post bus from Fort William not the train. Then we went on to Barrisdale bothy, Kinloch Horne and then north to Shiel Bridge. Our parents had no idea how remote an area we were going to...it was amazing. Lost my friend a few years ago who I made that trip with...RIP Pete

Great video. I'm impressed that you were able to survive the midges.
@ScottishSummiteer11 ай бұрын
Thanks mate, I’m also surprised haha. The midge were horrible and to top that off I was left with a bunch of ticks when I got home 😂😂
@ScottishSummiteer11 ай бұрын
Hi mate, I’m not too knowledgeable on the situation either. But from experiences I’ve had, basically you can’t feel them at all. So when you get home from being out you just need to check all over your body and if you see any ticks then remove them. They just look like little black dots to start with (you can usually see the legs) but they grow the longer they are on you. As long as you remove them before 36hrs then the chance of any diseases are very little. I didn’t use a tick removal card (just used tweezers to remove them) but the cards might work better. As far as I am aware you will find them in England and Wales as well but haven’t been hiking in either place so not 100% sure. Hope this helps

Many would have not bothered to head out last weekend for the weather, but you did, and were rewarded. Your imagery of the clouds and mist swirling over the ridges and the tops around you is first class👍👍 Your onward journey Then through moss - draped forests (Dessary?) to penetrate the "Rough bounds of Knoydart" to land at Inverie. Amazing trip! Don't know if you had a well earned pint 😊 at the Old Forge Inn, which I believe is now under excellent community ownership. Of course the scarcity of human flesh passing through this area will mean the midge and tic population will have made extra effort to secure their blood meal👹🕷🦟!
@ScottishSummiteer11 ай бұрын
Yeh I was left with a few ticks at the end unfortunately. Was a great trip though for sure, your description is much better than mine 😂😂 It was indeed Dessary Forest, I don’t drink but I treated myself to a glass of orange juice at the end haha

Hi, I'm intrigued to know how you arranged transport to and from home. two cars? Or did you get the train back from Mallaig to your Glenfinnan starting point ? I always enjoyed mixing hikes with trips on the Highland railway lines- except when they delayed or broke down and missed your ferry/bus connections😒.
@ScottishSummiteer11 ай бұрын
Yeh we got the ferry to mallaig and then train back to the starting point. The train journey was really good, nice to see some different parts of Scotland
