Getting to the old age of 29 and loving the hills more than beer, me and my dad set off around 7am to get to the start of this Munro. The drive in is just as challenging as the hill. Was like a rollercoaster with the potholes

Starts of the Munro is nice. Easy to go up the wrong track once you cross the second bridge (like we did) so make sure and turn off at the fence

A gradual incline was made harder in the very boggy conditions. Me being 32 years younger than my dad meant I was waiting for him a bit so got some nice periods of rest.

Bog turned to snow and wind as we got to the top which was well welcomed. Cloud had taken over but still got some great views.

Followed the same route down and back to the car. Completing the Munro in 5.5 hours with lots of breaks for drone shots ect. A great day out and an enjoyable Munro

Nice video. I was there the same day but chickened out of the burn crossing. I see this would have saved me some amount of effort and doesn't look too bad on your video.
