Is This The Most Remote Mountain In Scotland? 40km in middle of nowhere

Such a hard hill Murray I went into climb the 2 mountains with a severe head wind going in. I dropped my bike as I could walk faster at Geldie and was so looking forward to turning toward Sgarsoch as the wind would be on my back for the rest of the trip. One of the most arduous outings I had in the wilds. Great footage once again it was 96 when I went in so stirring up the memory once again. Look forward to your next trip.

[@TalesFromAbroad-SJ]

Really enjoyed this take on what makes a mountain ‘remote’-it’s all part of the fun. Whether it’s the most remote or not, it’s definitely a trek to get there. Love how you keep it laid-back and don’t take things too seriously. Looking forward to seeing where you head next!

Thank you - very much appreciated (definitely do t take myself seriously - life’s too short 😂😂

[@delboyg2690]

Lovely film. Done both of the Munro’s a few months ago and I’d agree that they are very remote. Only others that I have felt like this were the Fisherfields. Looking forward to the next adventure

A fine pair of remote Munros and video to boot Muzza. The Atholl mountains have an appeal for their isolation. Loved our camp by the old Geldie Lodge back in the day. 😅

For a while Beinn Bhreac was suspected of being vulnerable to a resurvey. It would have added to the challenge a little. It is an easy add on to Fhiedleir /Scarsoch, especially if coming in from Atholl.

I've just had breakfast, but the mention of a roll with lorne sausage and black pudding has got me all hungry again!! I think I've stayed in worse hotels than that bothy (which was rather nice looking!). Anyway, remote is a subjective term. There aren't many truly remote places on Dartmoor, but there are places that can make you feel isolated (in a good way). 🙂

Another great adventure Murray. Something i noticed and was worried about, was the spikes of your poles sticking out and if you were to come off your bike, the spikes are right behind your head. Definitely a remote place i think. What a great cairn at the top. It looked like a big armchair but not as comfy. Nothing like a square sausage in a roll. Catch you on the next one mate.

😂 i feel you with the river crossing. We failed to cross River Calder on East Highland Way between Newtonmore and Laggan. It was too dangerous and we were able to see a boothy waiting for us 😅 On the other hand we managed to cross River of Wester on the John o'Groats Trail and it was waist deep :) We looked funny walking on the beach with wet underwear only. As for remotness... Affric Kintail Way gave us that feeling. Wonderful place. So calm and no people around.

[@lapoguslapogus7161]

Did these hills from the Tarf Hotel in April 1986 I think. Minus 6C at night but was full of Yorkshiremen so bivvied on an area of flat concrete outside. Blue skies and once Sun got up it did get to 20C so a very pleasant day and still few snow fields high up. Back at the bothy spotted a lizard coming out of a dyke to soak up the Sun, probably the first rays for many months, I somehow caught a big bluebottle for it and it was soon snapped up off the end of my finger. Probably the first ever lizard to get breakfast served at the Tarf Hotel. You didn't mention that An Sgarsoch is on the the watershed between the Dee and Tay, and Carn an Fhidhlier is the watershed peak between all three rivers, the Spey, Dee and Tay, and the historic boundary between Invernessshire, Aberdeenshire and Perthshire.

The last ti,e I did this walk was in the winter time and it was dark cycling in and was getting dark by the time I got back but the snow on the tops made it more remote and wild but in terms of wilderness there isn't that vulnerability knowing one slip or mistake can be fatal Like in North America where endless people never get found, the bike is a must for this walk especially with limited day light.

The river crossing reminds me of a scary tale, my partner on an organised party decades ago in Scotland.

They felt their only option was to cross this raging torrent by jumping it! It was measured at over 4 feet deep.. They all got across but to this day she will not go hiking, and still has nightmares of it!

Hi Murray another fine video bringing back memories of long days out. An interesting side note to the hill has to do with the horse and cattle markets that were once held on the summit plateau, known as Feill Sgarsaich. It defies modern comprehension as to why such markets were held at such remote and elevated locations until we remember that this area was much more heavily populated. By the way, out of curiosity, what camera and lens are you using for stills. Looks like one of the Sony A7…

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Very interesting Francis and it would have been interesting to see these areas before they were de populated- I guess they would’ve been very different areas :) I use a Sony zv7 , Sony a7!!! And a DJI action 4 (however I take about 90% of my stills with my iPhone 11 👌🙏👍

[@TuckRob]

You are right, there is a circular mtb route (inner Cairngorms loop - a great but demanding day out) that uses that stretch down to Glen Feshie. Glen Feshie itself is a joy to ride but the section past Geldie lodge to get to it always feels a right slog and by that point you are well past caring about wet feet. To be honest, I was past that point before crossing the Fords of Avon.

[@ashtoddphotography]

Some Scottish hills certainly give the illusion of remoteness, though with the advancement of things like SOS inreach devices, a plethora of online mapping guides and the almost certain guarantee of bumping into folk these days - the feel of remoteness is definitely getting harder too come by. However I am an old fart who misses the days void of mobile phones and social media (obviously not all social media 😂) - I do miss the feeling I got 20+ years ago when an adventure into certain parts of the highlands meant almost certain isolation and a complete break from people 😂

[@ScotlandsMountains]

They are certainly busier (especially the Munros). However head for those hills with no lists attached and solitude can still be found .
