Absolutely brilliant Paul mate. Good seeing you and Ally. Glad you got views on your decent. Well done on doing it when not feeling well. Looks like a cracking area. Looking forward to day 2 Take care Alan

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Thanks Alan! A real cracker of a walk! Beautiful area and perfect for the bike mate! Can’t wait to go back again for the other Munros! Cheers again mate! Paul

[@jentex2]

Superb as always Paul. Not many folk say ‘blowing oot ma arse’ but plenty of us feeling it! Good effort bagging the winter hill and the expert navigation 🤔. Thanks again.

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Cheers Andy! I was absolutely knackered! Something niggling away at me!? An absolutely cracking area this and having to go back in is no great hardship! Just hope that the next time we get some views! Thanks again mate and thanks for the support! Paul

[@themunrobagger]

Brilliant as always mate, great views when you got them, hopefully you are on the mend? Deffo a tough shift when your not feeling too good , well done lads 👏 great Hike n bike 👍

Thanks Steven! If only the weather had broken an hour earlier 😂😂😂. A beautiful area this and looking forward to heading back for the other two! Yeah feeling better although I struggled on the next couple of days! Should have went home to my bed 🙄. Paul

[@ALochOnTheWildSide]

Looked brilliant that did - amazing views on the way back down when it opened up for yous. That would have been a sweet cycle on the return journey too...loved that! 🏔👍👍

[@PAADVENTURES1]

A great cycle Dave!!I need to head back up to do the other two if you want?? A cracking area that! 👍👍

[@andrewkingdom]

Awesome are a favourite of mine I slept for a few hours one night in the emergency shelter one January many years ago with my brother and woke up on the bottom bunk bed with a small mouse on my chest lol brilliant video S ever

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Brilliant wee story Andrew! It does look like it would be a godsend in a storm! We decided to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine when we got back…what a beautiful glen! Paul

[@murchiesmountains2820]

Brilliant Paul 😍👍..Cracking vlog mate 😁..Shame you didn’t get the views at the summit.Looks a nice wee cycle in 😁..Great stuff mate 😁 Cheers Robert

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Thanks Roberto! It’s a cracking area and great for the bike! The Glen is amazing 👍. Need to head back in here for the other two Munros soon fingers crossed for a view then! Cheers mate! Paulo

[@andy-astro]

Good stuff Paul. Hope you're feeling better. I've heard claims for both being the top too, but natural to visit both when doing the loop round the top. Nice views on the way back down.

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Cheers Andy! Yeah on the mend now! A couple of rough days and I think I overdid it a bit 🥴🥴. Cracking glen this and looking forward to heading back to do the two sgurrs! Hopefully with views this time 👍👍Paul

[@RhodySeth]

I love your van - so cozy! And the change from wet bogs to icy rocks. Buzzing Day indeed!

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Cheers Seth! It’s great for wee overnight trips that are too long for a single day! Going to fit it out again though! 👌🏻. Yeah a nice wee wander…still very wintery here! 👍

[@ScotlandFarAndNear]

Quite a windy walk 😁😁. We chickened out last weekend - we planned to do the Ladhar Bheinn, but with expected wind around 40mph on the top we decided it is not the best idea. 😁

[@PAADVENTURES1]

We ended up doing Beinn Alligin and it was windy as!! Hopefully get the wee video out next week 👍👍👍Paul

[@summitwithstevie6934]

Nice one Paul. Cracking area for outdoors there but long drive up eh. Done the right thing sleeping in can night before.

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Yeah Stevie it's a long old drive! Watched your summit camp up there a few times before I went but the conditions weren't as nice! A cracking area and looking forward to heading back up for the other two sgurrs 👍👍👍. Paul

[@summitwithstevie6934]

@PAADVENTURES1 nice one, aye back up that hill with the bike to get the 2 Sgurrs. I know you need to get off the bike but it's not that bad eh. Bike is great for Way out

[@andypotts8062]

Great to see you out again. Sorry to hear you weren't well so no wonder you were knackered on the way up. Loved the scenery as you cycled up to drop off point. Pity it was cloudy at the top though isn't that always the way, once you are down the cloud clears from the tops. Looking forward to your next outing..Best wishes and fantastic les.

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Thanks Andy! I was struggling a bit and ended up having to cut my trip short after three days…on the mend now and had lots of rest… this is a cracking spot and that cycle up through the Glen was cracking! I can’t wait to go back and do the other two Sgurr’s! 😎😎😎Paul

[@Allysmountainwalks6462]

Cracking Paul loved that wee adventure had to work ma wee legs of on that first bit probs more pushing the bike than cycling 🤣but what a day even with no views from the top wee still got rewarded with some stunning scenery, could have sat at the hut all day looking up to the mountains its situated in the perfect spot. For you not feeling to good Paul you still made great progress looking forward to the next adventure. Atb Ally 👍👍

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Cheers Ally it was a cracking wee adventure and a great wee memory. A bit hairy on the top with zero visibility and to get lost up there would have been scary stuff! cracking cycle and the wee hut was a great spot top stop and have food! a brilliant day mate and thanks for the company! Paul.

[@alisonlyons4691]

Great hike Paul, new tops to me. I visit Garve a lot great walks round there. I hope you are feeling better, See you on the next.....Alioban ❤

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Thanks Alioban! I would love to explore a wee bit more up there! Maybe you could give me some recommendations! A cracking day and a beautiful cycle! Loving it! Fantastic! Paul

[@alisonlyons4691]

Hi Paul, hope youre feeling better. Theres a lovely circular walk at Little Garve along the Black water. Paddy would love it, its low level but so beautiful. Also a similar one at Rogie Falls. Of course theres Ben Wyvis, but youve maybe done that. Little Wyvis is a decent hike from the same carpark. Not as high but still an upward hike. l have family in Strathpeffer and there are great walks there. My favourite is from the Ben Wyvis Hotel, up KnockFarrel. The views ftom there are awesome. You would be able to recognise some peaks from there. Take care.... Alioban ❤

[@PAADVENTURES1]

@@alisonlyons4691 thanks Alioban!! Yeah feeling better, not sure what I had? Some flu, cold type thing. Hung about longer than I liked. Thanks for those recommendations! Always good to get some local knowledge as some of these places you would never know about! Will let you know if we plan a trip!! Thanks again! Paul and wee paddy 👍

[@alisonlyons4691]

Youre welcome😊

[@AndyOB]

Well done guys.😃👏👏 A good one to get in winter conditions as it's so far in.I went in for the 2 Sgurr Munros, and I was feeling good,so linked this one on with them.Didn't fancy having to come back in for it,lol.Think it was about a 13 hour day for me.🥵🥵Your ascent was my descent and was gubbed on the way down.Just came off the so called path and hit a straight line to the lodge.Still had a long walk back to bike.😂😂Look forward to ur next advenure up there Paul.😃👍👍

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Thanks Andy! my original thoughts were to do all three but the conditions were saying something else plus I was feeling a bit ropey! a great day though and I'm kinda looking forward to heading back in on the bike..The old e-bike makes these cycles a breeze....Its a long long walk without a bike though! don't fancy that, Cheers again Mate. Paul.

[@ibrstellar1080]

I had similar conditions when I did this hill and biked in as It was February and daylight was limited so big walk in Great video and another one ticke off.

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Thank you! to see it all clearing when we got back down was annoying but still a cracking day and a brilliant bike ride that! really enjoyable. Paul.

[@hikingwithfrank315]

Good effort lads, pity you didn’t get views at the summit. Looks a cracking area. ATB Franko.

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Cheers Franko! A great wee cycle and a cracking Glen! You will love it when you visit! Hopefully with better views! Paulo

[@thewanderer9778]

Looked a wee tough day...

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Tough but great fun!

[@Kev_Russ]

Lovely jubly Paulo. Still to do that bad boy. Looked tough up top... Oor typical Scottish weather further doon eh. 😏

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Cheers Kev! A cracking area and well suited to the bike! Pity about the views but need to go back so fingers crossed for the next time! 👍👍

[@itsablack1]

Good effort for not feeling 100%👍 Typical that , the weather turning good after you've came down 😅 I've not done any munros in that area, miss doing some new ones but I still wouldn't head up in the clag , but your adventure still looks a good one 👍 Waiting for your next vid, watching your route closely 😉😅

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Thanks! didn't improve unfortunately and had to cut the trip short after a few days....Should have listened to my body...... The forecast was actually for better conditions earlier but we just got the timings wrong....ah well never mind it won't be the last time that happens..Cheers mate. Paul.

[@mountain_del1863]

If the great man was still alive.......you could have gone to Gerry's bunkhouse. Infamous for his inhospitality , however he always liked us. 5 guys from Coltness, Wishaw. He knew the score😊. What's not to like? Enjoy your videos Paul, been following since the early 'Paddy' days and your Skye tour was wonderful. Hoping to get up Bidean in the next few weeks.............atb pal. Dont comment much on your adventures, but its gold standard stuff.

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Wow! I’m just around the corner from you if your still in coltness! I have heard so many stories about Gerry’s! I hope to stay there this year? I think it’s his son that runs it now? Maybe when I head back up to do the Sgurrs? Thanks for the support and the comments it’s much appreciated!!! Paul

[@andrewkingdom]

Yes fantastic Glen how many munro’s you got left to do mate?

[@PAADVENTURES1]

40 Andrew! But a few difficult to get to ones 🥴🥴. Fancy catching up for one 😎

@@PAADVENTURES1 yes mate that would be good mate not many to go fantastic

[@mad-about-scotland]

Paulo, I have the feeling that you weren’t feeling too good then? I know you probably didn’t want to mention it being part of the raven claw tribe but I just got an incline? 😂. To be fair you done well keeping up with the much younger and fitter Ally 🤣😂 Only kidding mate. Thoroughly enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Donny Glover

[@PAADVENTURES1]

I was absolutely fecked Donny. I probably should have stayed at home but didn’t want to miss the trip. I stayed three days and then combusted and had to go home 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. Sometimes you just need a wee rest! Paulo Rest and Be! 🥴🥴cheers mate!! Paulo

[@thelifeofbrian282]

It's a big old day at the best of times Paul but would certainly have been tougher in those conditions ❄️ and the fact you were still getting over the lurgy 🤧 wouldn't help 😢 it is a bit confusing at the summit 🏔️🤔 I think the second top used to be the true summit 🏔️ I'm glad you got rewarded with stunning views 🏔️ 🏔️ 🏔️ once out of the clag ☁️ after all your efforts 💪 it's the least you deserved, well done atb Brian 👍

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Cheers Brian! Watching your video before I went and it’s a long old walk that! I’m definitely taking the bike back for the next two Munros! Have you done those too? Paul

[@itsablack1]

Just did this munro yesterday .. And should have watched your vid again.. Think you made the right decision to cycle to the shed.. I came back that way and it was far better than Walkhighlands says.. And also my milliage is as yours , so I don't know where walkhighlands gets 16 miles from ... I can see why you were puffing , I know you say your recovering , but it was a really steep bugger..

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Yeah, I wonder why the wee shed is not the start point on walk highlands? it seems pointless heather bashing from the trees when there is a nice track? Frank and Dave went even further with the bikes and cycled right down to the wee burn! I find that a lot with mileage and ascent being different to WH? I always assumed it was me running back and forth with the camera?

[@itsablack1]

@@PAADVENTURES1 yeah I re- watched that vid too.. Should have watched them again before I went.. Me and another couple spent a little time debating where WH's start should be... A waste of time.. There is nothing difficult crossing the wee stream down from the lodge,And not as boggy ..

@@PAADVENTURES1 most times my old Garmin says longer than WH.. Its originally from my bike, can never seem to get the altitude spot on.. Time I got something new..
