Arrochar Alps: Beinn Narnain, Beinn Ime: My first Munros

[@ChrisJB]

Scotland's weather treats you well....again! There is something quite special about mountains by the coast....it all adds a bit of drama. I think Beinn Narnain is the first Munro for a lot of folk....me included. 🙂

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Hi Chris. Yes, I was quite fortunate with the weather again. The temperatures dropped a little after this day, but the rain mostly stayed away until the day we left when it absolutely threw it down! The only other bit of rain was perfectly timed as we headed over to a bothy which should be my next video all being well. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Yes! Great wee adventure Anthony in the famous Arrochar Alps! The addition of the cobbler is a long day and a few extra feet of ascent. A great walk though and the views from Beinn Ime down the rest and be thankful are always amazing. Thanks for the wee shout out and hope you managed to visit some of the other locations too! I know a secret sensational wild camp location near Beinn Ime! Maybe I will share it with you! Cheers again mate! Paul

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Hi Paul. It was a smashing adventure, and the Scottish weather gods were smiling down on me again. I did take advantage of your other suggestions as we visited the bothy you mentioned which was fantastic and should feature in my next video. You are very welcome with the shout out. Always enjoy your videos and how you show case your beautiful country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

رائع جدا

Looked a great walk with some spectacular views Ant. Hope Simon coped OK with the scrambles. Looking forward to the away trip tomorrow evening 👍

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Thanks Dave. Simon enjoyed most of the scrambles as none were particularly life threatening 😂

[@safromnc8616]

That was just awesome from the top ! Well done guys

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Thanks very much. It was a fantastic walk 🙂

[@DaveGoodman1959]

Brilliant Anthony and Simon, I have only been up about 5 Munroe's and Ben Lomond was the first when I was 22. I never forget it, on a bit of a road trip and never knew anything about hills or walking really. Best wishes. TFS🙏👍

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Hi Dave. Scotland sure is a magnificent place for us hill walkers. The scenery is spectacular wherever you turn. I filled a memory card with the amount of photos I took!. Ben Lomond is a fab looking hill isn’t it? I didn’t get to walk it unfortunately as we were on the opposite side of the loch and decided to stick to our Arrochar base. I’d love to go back up and walk it at some point though. Thanks very much for watching

[@catherinewalks1207]

So astonishingly beautiful. The view out to the sea was magical. Hope the weather is good to you over the week!

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Thanks Catherine. It sure is a beautiful place. I’m back home now to the wind and the rain! I’m pleased the weather was kind to me so I could enjoy those spectacular view

[@RobsAdventures]

Hi mate, I’ve been so busy recently that I’ve only just caught up with your last three videos. So great to watch. Looks like you had an epic time on all of them, especially Scotland. You’ve done well with the weather. Already looking forward to the next one. Keep up the great work 👍😊

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

No worries Rob. I don’t have much time to watch KZbin these days either. Life sure is busy and best spent being outdoors and active rather than stuck indoors watching YT.

[@nigelharness9032]

Hi Anthony, epic day indeed, loving these Scotland trips as not been up there apart from Edinburgh, great views and thanks for the vid cheers nigel

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Thanks Nigel. My first walking trip to Scotland was Arran in March. I’m hooked now as it’s so beautiful.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Good stuff Anthony, looked a grand day for it. Beinn Ime was my tenth Munro had to come back for Narnain another time as I got caught in a snow blizzard and felt out my depth at the time. PA Adventures is a good lad. 😁 PS, you've probably realised since, but its Ben Arthur. Arthur's Seat is my local hill in Edinburgh. 😜

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Hi Robin. It was a fab weather day. The views were spectacular from both summits. You’re right, I did spot the error as Arthur’s seat is also marked on the map but it beneath the summit of Ben Arthur. I think I got a bit giddy because I could actually pronounce something 😂. I’d like to come back up to Scotland to do a winter skills course at some point. We very rarely get the types of conditions down south that prepare you for full on Scottish winter mountaineering, so I wouldn’t be confident enough to venture onto those munros in that kind of weather either! Thanks for watching. Hope you’re good

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@AnthonyJohnson1 ah I see. I wonder where you got Arthur's Seat from, I don't have that on my 1:50k map. A winter skills course is a shrewd investment, our winters aren't great either unfortunately, they're arriving later in the season now. I'm not overly confident in winter, so I stick to the more rounded peaks.

[@solitaryrambler]

Epic indeed Anthony! If I ever go to Scotland again myself, I must take you with to gaurantee good weather 😄 Just awesome views over Loch Lomond and Loch Long, especially where you could see right down to the sea. I did laugh at your comment at Simon knowing you might be off to the pub later hence his descending like a mountain goat! 😅 Very scenic walk indeed Anthony, look forward to seeing any more you might have done during your week in Scotland. All the best 👍

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Thanks Patrick. I’ve been very fortunate with my 2 Scotland trips this year. Only one day of rain in 11 days! Totally different story with the Lake District as I’ve only ever seen rain there in recent times! Simons speed down that mountain surprised me. He was crawling up but almost ran back down. I can only put it down to the prospect of a nice pint of local ale!

[@georgehunter7099]

FYI The Cobbler is Ben Arthur not Arthur's Seat which is in Edinburgh, easy mistake to make.

[@TFSOutdoors]

What a great days hiking, with great weather, which is always a bonus in Scotland. The views really were epic, Scotland so special, as is completing your first Munroe. Well done. Hopefully the weather will hold, so you can tick of a couple more before the week is over. I'm off up there in a few weeks myself and can't wait.

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Thanks Tony. It’s a beautiful place isn’t it? So pleased I had nice weather to benefit from the views. Hope you have a lovely time in Scotland. Which part are you heading to?

[@TFSOutdoors]

@@AnthonyJohnson1 I’m going to be touring for a week in the campervan, so winging it. Who know where I will end up. I’ve toured Scotland quite a lot, it’s all lovely.

[@TeaInValhalla]

Wow wow wow 👌

[@georgehunter7099]

FYI The Cobbler is Ben Arthur, Arthur's Seat is in Edinburgh, essy mistake to make.

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Thanks George. I’ve since learned the error of my ways. It was a fab walk. Really enjoyed my first visit to the Arrochar alps

[@georgehunter7099]

@@AnthonyJohnson1 Hi Anthony, I am one of those blessed by living only 25 mins from Arrochar. Ben Lomond is my favourite, Ben Arty a close second.

[@kellyshaw7271]

great walk. You two certainly get around. I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip. Lovely views and good weather, can you ask for more! Did you both make it to the pub lol. Thank you as always for taking the time to film. Cheers

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Hi Kelly. I do like to venture a bit further afield at times. I wish I lived a bit closer to Scotland as I’d love to climb more munros. We did indeed make it to the pub. Simon almost ran the last few miles! 😂

[@kellyshaw7271]

@@AnthonyJohnson1 lol, wonderful

[@TeaInValhalla]

Loved the looks of the scramble sections, the silence and concentration says it all 🧐😬

You can see the 🏝 we could too 👍

Ooooh music 🎶 good evening Mr Johnson! What's the yellow thing in the sky, we heard that this was long banished from Scotland ⛰️⛰️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍❤️

[@TeaInValhalla]

Loving the panoramic views and great to see so many people enjoying the munros 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛰️

A solid and ultimately rewarding 11 miles Mr Johnson, well done to you both, great job 👏 have a great week, Ceri and Kat 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛰️☕️👍

[@TeaInValhalla]

Kat just making tea and toast, going to watch along in the TV! So you'll have to excuse the lack of a mega comment. Just know we have been looking forward to this after following along your social media posts 📫 what a super first 2 miles, this looks like one to remember 👏 thanks for filming and sharing with us. Bring gin the views! ❤️🗺🧭☕️👍

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Hi Ceri and Kat. Thanks as always for watching and congratulations on the 1st place 🥇. I was very fortunate that the weather was so beautiful on this day as the views were so spectacular. The camera never does them justice unfortunately. Those 2 munros were great fun though and quite tough in places but as we know the great views have to be earned 😆. It sure is a beautiful place. I just wished I lived a bit closer! 🙂❤️❤️
