Winter Comes to the Hills, Film from 1946 on BFI.

I found this free film on the British Film Institute's website and thought it was worth sharing. Its from 1946 and is set in locations that will be fimiliar to most who use walkhighlands. It was made by David Sime, President of the Scottish Countryside Club at the time. To watch you will have to google "Winter Comes to the Hills - BFI Player," as walkhighlands wont let me put up a link.

Interesting - thanks for the link. Not sure I'd want to do what one of the guys was doing under an overhang on Ben More and Stob Binnein between 7m10s and 7m30s though ! - cheers :)
