My First Ever Munro - It did NOT Go To Plan...

In today's video I am in Scotland to complete my first ever Munro.
Spoiler - it didn't go to plan.
Our route started in Crianlarich with our highest summit been Cruach Ardrain - 3,432 feet.
But cloud made things a little more difficult than it should have been.

Reminds me of my first Munro(s) Five Sisters of Kintail. I was all over the place too but it’s how you gain experience.

[@uptosummit_]

Yeah exactly, makes good memories as well!

[@MrBugs183]

As someone said map reading is essential. Also look in getting a gps watch like a Garmin Connect, you can upload gpx files of the route you want to take, brilliant piece of kit.

[@uptosummit_]

Yeah I agree, thanks for the tips. I've looked at the gps watches before they look great!

[@c4mbl]

You guys seem like a nice respectful bunch....but jeez you need some more Munro prep 😂😂 Any plans to do any more? Just beware that many of them don't have defined paths and you need to navigate your own way across boggy fields or up/down rocky slopes. Just be careful

[@uptosummit_]

Yeah, munros are another level to lake district mountains. I'm going to need to improve my navigation before my next one!

[@antmangar46]

You need to do a navigation course, map and compass are the best outdoor gadgets you can buy! 💙

[@uptosummit_]

Yeah, possibly. I know how to use a map and compass and always carry one. The problem was that there were no paths on the map. Might look into a course to help me navigate when I come across these circumstances.

[@antmangar46]

@@uptosummit_ It'll definitely help you pick out features take bearings and that way you can follow a heading. Not a dig at all. Love the channel. 💙

[@uptosummit_]

Yeah, thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated 💙

[@peterq1978]

this is why you need a physical map and compass!!!

[@uptosummit_]

I had them on me. Unfortunately, there were no footpaths, and I couldn't be bothered getting it out. As you can see, it would have saved me a lot of time if I used the map haha.

[@peterq1978]

oh damn... you really were lost then. and retracing your steps was a no go too.

[@uptosummit_]

Yeah, all part of the fun though haha

[@peterq1978]

you aint wrong!!

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Nice video anyway 🙂👍

[@uptosummit_]

Thanks mate👍

Thanks, at that point, I had lost the effort to try pronounce it properly, haha
