Four day solo canoeing and hiking trip to the remote wilderness of Glen Affric in the North West highlands of Scotland. This glen is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in the country and is home to an important remnant of the ancient pine forest that once covered much of the Scottish Highlands. My goal was to journey up through the Glen over the course of several days to ultimately climb one of the great remote and inaccessible mountains of Scotland: Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan.

Loved it ! I have done that mountain too - along with the 3 other Munros nearby - a very hard day. The Anatoly Boukreev quote at the end was extra special too. Thank you.

Back in the 70s I along with a few friends cycled/walked through Glen Affric to spend a night at Glen Affric youth hostel, an experience on its own, the weather was bleak but the scenery exceptional.

Your production quality really did the place justice. After a Glen I keep secret to myself Affric is a close second best.

Spectacular! Great video & what a fantastic place to be. My first ever canoe trip was on Loch Beinn a Mheadhoin about 30 years ago. We had some challenging weather that time too! And the midges were horrendous but what an amazing experience it was.

Just got this recommended to me. Cracking wee, well edited video, what a trip, what an inversion. 😎👌 My last wild camp was nearby in September on the Corbett Sgurr Gaorsaic just below the Munro you did. Need to get back into the Glen Affric Munros tho.

Hi Jamie. Thanks for the comment. Your own film of your trip to Loch Maree and Fionn Loch was one of the inspirations for this film, so it means a lot to know you even watched my offering, let alone enjoyed it!

@JamieBarnes Жыл бұрын

I'm really pleased it inspired you,@@gwil_morrison! I paddled Glen Affric a couple of times last year but sadly didn't manage to paddle as far up as you did. After seeing your film, I'm itching to go back in the spring. I look forward to seeing your future videos mate! All the best.

@Gwilym Morrison Watching this on a Sunday eve while the rest of the country is seemingly glued to something called football. What you've done is my thing & I could watch it over & over again. Beautiful footage, narration & scenery. I now want to do the same route & climb, but it's now winter & I'm unsure it's wise or not?
