18 Mile Hike deep into the Cairngorm Mountains.. Monadh Mor & Beinn Bhrotain

[@grahamhaines9931]

When I first did these hills back in 1980 at the very beginning of my own Munro journey, I was still under the impression that Càrn Cloich-mhuillin was still a Munro and I dropped down off Bhrotain to bag it. I had camped on the plateau above Feshie and had enjoyed a 3 day cloud inversion where it was super blue skies all around. The great moss is an amazing place, foreboding in winter with its featureless terrain, and a favourite area for testing winter navigation skills. That was an impressive walk out to bag the two hills, so thanks for sharing!

That’s pretty wild and remote, definitely best saved for a day of good visibility.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Definitely, would feel even longer in mist/clag 😂

Brilliant James. Well done mate. Looked like a monster of a walk.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks Alan, it was a long day for sure 😆🏔

Hi there James. Blimey that’s a fair old hike for two peaks. That’s the difference between Scotland and the Lake District. In 18 miles and 10 hours like we did the other week I bagged 10 wainwrights! Haha Cracking video as always mate, all the best, Dave 😃⛰🥾

[@2dchrisk]

So good, thankyou and good luck!

[@Martycycleman]

Many many thanks James lovely video and quite a hike.

[@harrylinsdell8114]

Well done James , another one done ,great scenery to share as well thanks for showing us

[@graemeinnes190]

Did the same route yesterday. Hard going in cloud with only map and compass,, Erie too. Enjoyed your video, great views (which I missed 😂)

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

That would be a tough route in the cloud 😂 nice challenge though.. Cheers, James

[@williampaterson1706]

Well done mate

[@jimross5806]

Another fine video diary James. Really looking forward to when you get up to do the likes of Seana Bhraigh (esp from Oykel Bridge) An Teallach❤️❤️

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks Jim, I have actually already done Seana Bhraigh, one of my first videos! No where near the quality of todays videos 😂 I done it from Oykel Bridge.. one of my favourite days so far.. cheers, James

[@mattbrown8319]

I remember doing these two in a circuit including cairn Toul, angels peak and devils point from Lin of Dee. Seemed like nice enough hills 😊

[@yerjokin]

Great to see those hills again mate! I did those 2 along with braeriach, angels peak, cairn toul and devils point from Linn of dee! Absolutely shattered when I got back to the car🥵🤣

[@PAADVENTURES1]

A big day James! You cant help but smiling when you're out in the cairngorms! I did these two with Frank on a very warm day from Linn of Dee and ended up in the water!, . Your getting there mate! Well done. Paul

[@corinnamusgrave7580]

Wow well done James, fabulous video. 🏔️🏔️🥾🥾🤩👏

[@itsablack1]

Nice to bag those two 👍218👏 My last two in the cairngorms , but I keep puting those two off and always end up somewhere else 😅 Well seeing it was your plan B 😅

[@natalieminnis]

I did these two from a camp spot near the Geldie Lodge after an epic evening cycle in from Linn of Dee - the first time I'd ever used a moutain bike off-road! The walk was almost half the length of yours, but much of it was pathless and through heather. I remember the fantastic views at the summit of Bhrotain.

[@00corwin00]

congratz, very desolate but beautiful.

[@oggy350]

Done these 2 a few years back and not really on my memorable list. weather was decent but I'm not a fan of long hikes where you return the same route. Great footage as always.

[@therebelcollective6729]

Brilliant stuff. Great content. What is your main camera if u don’t mind me asking mate?

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thank you 😁 its a Sony A7iii

[@therebelcollective6729]

@@ScottishMunroJourney thanks mate :)

[@andrewgoesoutdoors]

What software do you use to edit your longer videos and reels? Keep it up pal!

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

I use Adobe Premier Pro for pretty much everything these days 😁 Cheers, James

[@cccastaneda5081]

Damn, i have been eating sugar babies when i should have been carrying empire biscuits😂

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Cant beat an empire biscuit 😂

[@HighlandFifer]

Harry Gow's empire biscuit?

[@Stavrosmct]

Awesome effort James. Do you think you can cycle most of the way in?

[@kennycunn1]

Not a fan of these long boring walk ins. Will be taking the bike when I get round to these two.
