Winter in the Cairngorms | A Scramble over The Fiacaill Ridge

Winter adventure in the Cairngorms - Adventures in The Cairngorm Mountains. Headed up the Fiacaill Ridge
The Cairngorm Mountains - fine place to explore at any time, but with some late snow and amazing spring conditions I headed for the Fiacaill Ridge on the Northern Corries for some adventure.....

Hello from a subscriber in the US. Greatly enjoy your videos of gorgeous Scotland. Your drone shots are quite well done. The terrain reminds me of the Presidential range in New Hampshire, in northern New England. In mid-February, I managed to break three ribs & simultaneously contract pneumonia. As you can imagine, I spent quite some time needing to be idle. Your videos offered excellent vicarious hiking which helped prevent me from going entirely stir crazy. Feeling much better now. Thanks, & best wishes.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hello - hope you are recovering - sorry to hear about your accident - also hope you are enjoying the vlogs whilst recovering. Wishing you a speedy recovery Thanks for watching ATB Murray Cairngorms Fiacaill Ridge

[@thomphotography3662]

Fantastic Murray. Makes me homesick! I grew up in the shadows of the Cairngorms and spent many a Winter, and Easter, race training up there! Thought you had been ignoring the Cairngorms, but happy to see you enjoying the Fiacaill. Hope to spend some time up there in the Summer too!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thanks Thom - hope you get some good weather for your trip :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray Cairngorms Fiacaill Ridge

[@WalkWithWallace]

Nice one Murray, it's a fine scramble, albeit a bit shortlived, you're just getting wired in and boom you top out on the plateau. I'll need to research the one Cameron mentions there. Cheers Robin

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Would be great if it was a tad longer , but much fun none the less:) Thanks for watching ATB Murray Cairngorms Fiacaill Ridge

[@brianst8]

Excellent video as always

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thank you and Thanks for watching ATB Murray Cairngorms Fiacaill Ridge

[@CameronMcNeishOutdoors]

Nice one man. You'll need to have a go at Afterthought Arete - it runs up to the plateau from Loch Avon and is probably the classic scramble of the Cairngorms.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Cameron - its a belter - did it after Pygmy Ridge a few year back around this time of year ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/noe1lpmBrMaonMU ) - what a great place this is :) Enjoying your vlogs - hope all goes well in Perth next week - if I can get back from work I may well try and pop along :) atb Murray

[@hughmccann7414]

Murray...you cheat!!! Going up so far on the road. Braw conditions, thankfully you got out of the "gear review" genre ;D...That prow is very like going up to Stuc-a-Chroin and just as scary in those conditions...crampons/no crampons... great footage, pardon the pun with the "sticky" granite. Great info on the hill, love the drone footage with the signature tune. Fun, Views, great conditions...WooHoo! :D Photography wise love the first image with all those converging lines. AND you managed to include a "duff" gear review too...;D

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

What wonderful weather and always a great view up there in the Cairngorms :D Thank you for taking us along somewhere we would never dare venture to . That ridge looked way too daunting we have done the easy route many years ago though :D Atb and happy Easter to you and yours :DTeddy

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Happy Easter to you too Ted Thanks for watching ATB Murray Cairngorms Fiacaill Ridge

[@sgurr_a]

Excellent video. Ever considered doing a video of The Stuic ridge? It looks interesting, but I think it's often ignored as it's a bit of a plod in.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hi Alasdair - my first ever Munro was Lochnagar and we went up the Stuic - this was maybe the hook :) might try and head back and make a vlog sometime :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@chrisbarker5336]

Hi, Great video. Me and the family are looking to plan a trip to the Cairngorms and Ben Nevis in the camper van at the end of July........ but the wife and kids are a little nervous about the midges 😬. Are they really that bad? I never see midges in your videos, though you are on top of the mountains. Love your videos 👍🏻

[@MUNROSnCORBETTS]

Great day out and filming to match Murray :)

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks and for watching ATB Murray Cairngorms Fiacaill Ridge

[@justwilliam6192]

Great video Murray, out of interest were they the Symond Alpine trousers you were wearing?

[@ScotlandsMountains]

yes Sigmond from decathlon - excellent trouser :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@kevinarrowsmith6955]

Great video as always - any chance of you returning to Foinaven one day? The first of your videos I came across

[@ScotlandsMountains]

thanks Kevin - will probably return there one day as it was clagged in when i visited last time and would be worthwhile getting back up to see what the views were like from the top :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray Cairngorms Fiacaill Ridge

[@kevinarrowsmith6955]

Amazing views, brilliant ridge! Look forward to it. Call in and say Hi if ever you return

[@quentin8179]

Je fais cette rando dans 3 semaines! Y aura t il encore de la neige? Mystère

[@ScotlandsMountains]

might well be snow - depends on whether we get any more coldsnaps - ne'er cast a clout till may be out !! Hope the sun shines for your visit :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray Cairngorms Fiacaill Ridge
