[@ibrstellar1080]

Essential mountaineering supplies😁.

[@johnhenderson8929]

Congratulations on the TGO award Murray, really well deserved - great VLOG again

[@hammy06rfc]

Lidl and Aldi regularly have irn bru jelly babies in store 👍

[@chrisluijtink3505]

The jelly babies live at the flanks of unbaged munro's😅😂

[@Nfdds]

You could abseil off that 😂 honestly get an edit made of one liners from Gerry. Always wanted to get out for this hill looks great in winter

[@hugoed3740]

Morning coffee, snow, wind chill, frozen scotch egg, iron bru jelly babies, good company and the best of Scotland in winter all brought to me in my easy chair. Fantastic vlog, thank you Murray. All the best🥃

[@stephenyoung494]

Gerry - Good old Amazon does it again for your jelly babies - ENJOY!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

stay tuned on Wednesday for a Jelly Baby update!!lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@patriciarichards87]

Brilliant! Funny, beautiful, great stuff xxx

[@RonBryson-i2k]

Another good video. Thank you.

[@harrylinsdell8114]

Thought it was the real slim shady munro bagging one minute into the video, cheers to gerry and fraser as well

[@dougieranger]

Came here to say that too. 😂

[@philiptaylor7902]

Congratulations on the TGO award Murray, well deserved. I voted for you last year, but missed the deadline this time.

[@happycycleboy6807]

Good video, as always. 'Hill' I've done in Summer from Loch Creran end. A nice selection of hills and walks in the area with great views around. Thanks for sharing.

[@robbotube1]

Great vid as always! think i bought my last packet from the green welly shop! Wherever you find them please save a packet for me and my kids we love them!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

jelly baby update coming on next video ;)lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@joanhuggett5164]

Very enjoyable (as always) with a deceptive rolling hills type ascent along that ridge in tough conditions. Fraser tried to nail you with that snowball, Murray :) Good fun video.

[@jamescox8719]

Thanks again Murray. Looking forward to next weeks adventure 👍

[@lyndseywilson9462]

Looks great. Love the snowy shots Took a couple of trips to crack that one from Glen Etive after storm damage generated masses of fallen trees across the track. Nice footage and great banter. Scotch eggs every time

[@jonstout7635]

Glorious hike and scenery!

[@brycehermon5939]

Thanks Murray. Another enjoyable video. I always enjoy the banter between you guys.

[@lightanddreamsphotography7140]

I vaguely remember "Finlay" from the late 80s, and it is vague not because it was so long ago but because I did most of the day in cloud and drizzle. I'd done Sgulaird in similar conditions the day before while camped in Glencoe. The weather had been set lousy for the week, so it was a case of choosing relatively simple mountains that required little navigation or great visibility. Both were much more of a head down slog encased in waterproofs than I'd have liked, but we did suffer for our Munro bagging. I couldn't believe when you said which mountain you almost came a cropper on, because my similar near fatal mistake was also on na Ulaidh, but very different to yours. It was also from Glencoe, but under full winter conditions with my old dog. All went well until the descent, which I remember started down a steep snow filled gully that for some reason the dog didn't fancy, so in the end I had to put her on the lead and pull her down the gully with me as I did a standing glissade, that I was normally pretty good it, using my axe as a brake. I stopped OK at the bottom, but the dog didn't and crashed into the back of my legs, tipping me forwards and tearing my knee ligaments! In agony I limped back down before the knee seized up, and made it back to the car and the Clachaig. But the next morning my knee was about three times normal size and I was incapable of walking anywhere, or even driving the car! A doctor in the pub checked it out, strapped it up and told me to rest it. I think it took three days before I could drive home, but I still remember feeling lucky to have only injured my knee in that crazy descent! Oh tell Gerry that I just ordered some Irn Bru jelly babies from Amazon :)

[@juliebarker-4245]

Just goes to show that we all learn as we grow older and refrain from taking the risks we did in our younger years. This was a thought provoking video with the food saga continuing with the addition of sausage rolls now. What's next on the menu. Hope Gerrys appeal for iron brew jelly babies is successful as don't like seeing grown men cry. Thanks for this one and can't wait for the next video. 😅

[@mikeoglen6848]

Julie, it's Irn Bru!

[@juliebarker-4245]

Thanks Mike for pointing this out.

[@andypotts8062]

Excellent video Murray. Superb views and great footage captured . I hope Gerry manages to get some Iron Bru jelly babies to prevent him getting grumpy. Good choice with the scotch eggs. Best wishes and many thanks.

[@Flash_of_the_peat_hill]

Yet another cracking video and this one even stars the amazing Gerry. I think my week may have peaked this evening. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@John71]

Thank you Murray, Gerry, Fraser, beautiful snowy scenes, you can never be too careful out on the hills, glad it was the Scotch Eggs, had to be really as they have been your chosen snack for years 😁 Thought Gerry was eating his gloves again 🤣 they sometimes have Irn-Bru jellies here, not often but will grab a couple if they restock and send them to Gerry...stay classy...

[@timrosenburgh8597]

Another great video Murray. Thank goodness you are still around to tell the tale. It was nice to see Gerry and Fraser with you. Well it had to be the Scotch Egg. Thanks for another great journey and catch you on the next one. Stay safe mate.

[@alisonlyons4691]

I knew straight away where you were Murray, as the dog and l love that area, there are a few great walks. Weve been up to the spot where Gerry did the "reveal" the views from there to Loch Creran and beyond are stunning. Need to go that bit further to see Loch Etive. Thanks for sharing your adventure.......Alioban ❤

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Great video and fantastic views of the mountains 👍❄️

[@duncantaylor9584]

Never dissapionted watching yourself or Gerry and other friends who join you, fantastic yet again,views were fantastic with the current weather around you, added to the views it did,thank you again ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤

[@derekoconnor693]

Hi Murray another excellent video with fantastic views, I had an idea the Scotch Egg would win 👍 Aldi for your iron bru jelly babies 👍 ATB.

[@ellenlepore3083]

Another wonderful video 🏔️!

[@jimembo1967]

A very enjoyable video as always, Murray. For Gerry, Millions Iron Brew Jelly Babies are made in Greenock by The Golden Casket Group. That would explain the different spelling :) Sadly they do not seem to sell them direct to ordinary folk like us but they appear to have a special relationship with Aldi (now an Aldi core line in Scottish Stores) according to the Golden Casket Group website. Best of luck, Gerry.

[@AlpinistGGerry]

Thanks!

[@nasos_zovoilis]

We share the same passion. Fantastic video!

[@GoproToursUK]

Afternoon Mureay excellent footage I LOVE a Scotch Egg😂.Has Jerry found any IRON BRU sweets yet you & your family have a good weekend ❤

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Scotch Eggs rule ;) In terms of finding Jelly Babies - there will be an update on Wednesdays video ;)lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@geocoupe8144]

Didnt know irn bru jelly babies existed! Ill be on the look out next time im at the shops!

[@kisilvan]

Loving that fridge 🤣🤣. Good learning point to hear even experienced mountain people do get it wrong sometimes. Saying that I did some idiot things especially in my 20s I wouldn't even think about risking now.

[@thesolidsnakealpha]

Always amazed at the quality and beauty of your camerawork Murray. Keep on trekking! God bless 🙏

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

I hope that there are no nutritionists watching what’s in your refrigerator! 😆. Cheers and ATB!

[@marcomclean3605]

Great footage as always Murray.

[@heathercampbell6906]

hi murray wow what a view amazing and you done the right going bk well done great 2 jerry love it when all three r out iron bru jelly baby’s get them in B n M store canny wait 2 next week 👍👍

[@tonycurry2559]

I got into irn bru jelly babies because of watching you guys.😂 I got mine from the spar shop in fort William it’s just off the loch lundevara road. Great video as always.

[@suebrown3465]

I heard you won an award..congratulations! I’ve yet to try a scotch egg… they do look good..not so easy to find near me..there’re out there! It’s nice to go on hikes with friends That was a nice video..well done ..take care 🇨🇦❤️

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Loved this journey back in time Murray! Think i speak for all of your fans when i say we are very glad you lived to tell the tale of your first experience on this mountain😊👌. It's funny, as much as we are glad to be a little wiser these days, we think we would have liked to keep hold of that confidence of youth, life and decisions certainly did seem a lot simpler back then😂. Always a pleasure to accompany you, Gerry and Frazer out and about on the snowy mountain 🏔 🌨. A fine selection of nutrional goodies going on too! 😋. The appeal reveal, classic!😂. We picked up some iron brew jelly babies in home and bargains last summer, hoping they get them in again this year 🤞. If we ever make it up to Glen coe again, I'll carry a couple of extra bags in case we ever have the pleasure of running into you and Gerry on the trail 😂👍🍬. Thanks for sharing as ever, Shell and Pete

[@ThomasWatt-f7p]

Irn bru jelly babies in Motherwell Aldi. Wouldn’t normally buy them but just picked a packet up to try 😂

[@talesbyjosh]

Another amazing video Murray. Thank you for sharing.

[@londonviking3801]

Looks a nice easy one, despite the conditions. Irn Bru jellybabies selling on Ebay too. Why have I never seen footage of the Scottish wild mountain haggis - surely they are not THAT rare??

[@ibrstellar1080]

I've never done this hill from this route and it looked a decent track all the way up so good stuff Murray.

[@tonystrange7224]

Cracking video as always Murray. First things first, Amazon sell Iron Bru Jelly babies with next day delivery 😀 As for the Scot’s eggs, well that was a no brainer that you’d pick them 😀 I do need to stop watching your videos late at night, I always come away hungry 😂.

[@dawnmason2378]

Amazon, loads of Iron Brew Jelly Babies 😊. Fabulous vlog as ever.

[@hikingismytherapy]

Iron bru jelly babies....seems like they are availble online. Amazon UK. Hope you locate them. Another amazing place in this video.

[@scotlandmyhome7484]

I missed the path on the way up when I did it, ended up in a gully south of the ridge 🤦‍♂️

[@simonrobbins815]

Can't get enough of the banter with Gerry & Frazer 🤣 I punted for the sausage roll today but I guess that was for your wife's lunch.

[@raymondporter2094]

The big money was always on the Scotch Egg!

[@johnpowell9174]

Done similar >50 years ago. On top of Ward Hill, Hoy and the mist came down. Decided to come straight down (avoiding the cliffs) that we managed without mishap. Went past the following day and were very impressed by the slope we had negotiated. That was a lucky escape but also a good lesson.

[@Johnnygee10]

You are absolutely right about the foolishness of youth, when you would put ketchup on everything 🙄 . Now that I'm older and wiser its got to be brown sauce with scotch egg and (bacon🥓) 😂😂 maybe mustard or piccalli with pork pie But definately not ketchup😜 . Now that the serious stuff is out the way, I enjoyed the video and hope Jerry finds the iron brew jelly babies soon ATB😉

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Gents. Murray, you were always going to choose the Scotch Eggs. 🤣 Gerry, I can help you with the Irn Bru jelly babies. My local paper shop sells them. If you like I can get some sent to you. 👍

[@kintyrehiker]

Tesco have pastilles that are similar to jelly babies. Classically named "iron brew" flavour. If only there was an official return of the irn-bru bar. #teamscotchegg 💪

[@johnvanderhulst4778]

A tip, can you make a video with the misses where you 2 make a scotch egg. in your home kitchen ;) just for a change.

[@fittappintrails8731]

Hi Murray. Lovely video and fantastic views. I supplied WalkwithWallace with Gold Bars (biscuits not nuggets). I have tried my wholesalers and neither does the Millions Irn Bru Jelly Babies. However, they may be sold through van sales I will check this and get back to you. Bear in mind the sweets contain artificial colours which contain E102, E122 and may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children. Have you chaps considered Vegan jelly beans?

[@fittappintrails8731]

Murray/Jerry I now have a box of them. 10 pkts in a box.

[@adelebeattie8021]

Irn Bru Pastilles today at Tesco

[@jbairdexp]

Are they "irn-bru" jelly babies or "iron brew" jelly babies? i.e. are they a genuine Irn Bru product or just a 3rd party flavoured product? Just curious. 🙂

[@Marchawc]

Scotch eggs FTW! 😁

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

Hi Murray me being me i would have taken the lot plus chocolate and cake haha nice to see pork pies on the menu well sadly i am at that age when pasty plays havoc with me, my aunty worked in a butchers so pork pies were always on the menu on sundays happy days eh great video with your pals, have a fab week how can you have a vegan pork pie, with no pork in it, honestly

[@MiriamMcDade]

Brilliant! lol 😊👍

[@klooncidful]

Are you still on the lookout for "iron brew" jelly babies? Im a bit late finding some as I live in England, but I am in Scotland at the moment and have just bought 2 bags from home bargains in Forfar!

Amazon sell irn bru jelly babies, made in Scotland from girders

[@Moffatmountainadventures]

They’re not official but their millions irn bru jelly babies and you can get them in the coop. Definitely in mine so I’d say they probably stock them in most half decent coops. Look for the wee bit that has all their millions.

Important, instructive film. Aren’t you a bit worried about your diet? You rarely mention fruit n veg - mostly lots of ultra-processed food - sausage rolls, pork pies and scotch eggs.

good point - I dont touch much processed food now - only on a hike for a treeat (especially irn bru jelly babies!!lol) actually lost over two stone since last summer by making some needed dietary changes :) Thanks for watching M
